"Let me just put this to bed for you now. We are not, have not, and never will be associated with CG. Its an ugly rumor, spread by CG to undermine the competition. The running joke in the industry is that if you ask them who built your car they'll likely tell you they have a plant that turns out Z's for Nissan in the back of their shop. To those who actually know the truth of it all, its funny that this rumor carries the weight it does - people who perpetuate it generally base their "knowledge" on assumptions and things that they read on other forums.

Used to be rumored we were the same b/c we were close together geographically... well, we moved to Boulder, CO years ago. So much for that.

Then there's the stuff about CG is or owns Warner Chemical... I don't think Dave Warner, the owner of Warner Chemical would take too kindly to that. We buy some of our raw materials from Warner, at some time CG may have as well, but that's about the extent of it.

We source raw materials and concentrates from about 7 different sources currently... none of them are CG... only one of them is still in California (Warner). All our products are our proprietary recipes, either mixed in house, or blended to our specifications off-site due to logistical reasons.

Then there's the one big flaw in the philosophy - CG DOESN'T MAKE ANYTHING FOR ANYONE! They are not a raw materials manufacture, they don't have chemical vats and silos at their location, they buy materials from other companies just like we do. Actual chemical manufactures are few and far between... very few companies have the means to synthesize polymers and blend raw chemicals... 3M/Meguiar's are one of the very few operations that have the means to actually MAKE their own stuff entirely in house and that's because 3M is a multinational fortune 500 company with decades of chemical manufacturing experience and the means to do it."


So there's the word, straight from a Adam's employee in the know. You now know just as the rest of the world knows. Any deniel of the truth from here on out is just trollin'.
Your going to enlighten me with a quote from a Adams employee? LMAO. You, yourself are a Adams employee and/or paid or compensated by them.
Please with a straight face tell us your not. Your on here defending Adams and don't even own a 370Z. I do.

And see, in your voracious defense of Adams, your response is flawed itself. Not once, did I say Adams was affiliated with CG. (Nice try though.) Nor did I say CG is affiliated with Warner. (Again, nice try.) All I said is that Adams and Chemical Guys sells the EXACT SAME product, which in turn is manufactured by Warner Chemical.

The best analogy to use is Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T all sell the I-phone.
Let's say Verizon is Adams, Sprint is Chemical Guys, and AT&T is Poorboys, and Apple is Warner Chemical. Same phone, different sellers.

I've searched the Patent databases and found where Adams, Poorboys, and CG does not own one single solitary patent. (If what Dylan says is true, and it's proprietary, then certainly Adams would protect their intellectual property, or else they are stupid.) On the other hand, Warner owns quite a few.

So there you go. The truth shall set you free.

And no, I'm not hating on Adams/CG/Poorboys per say, I wish success for everyone, all I'm hating on is when folks spread lies and untruths.

That's exactly what you're doing. That's why you revived a 2 year old thread with your first post. I don't work for Adam's, nor am I employed by them. I work for myself and write my own paycheck. Had you done some research, that you would have seen.

Let's face it, the saying on the Internet is true and you're a perfect example...

Can I have the GTR? You can keep the other two.

as for the argument, Junkman has said several times that he doesn't get compensated in a few different threads. He made these video's because he is very active in many communities. In fact, the fact that he made these very simple, easy to follow videos, was gracious of him. The junkman kit on adams website might have been a way for Adams to make more money, not junkman. Probably a lot of people saw his videos and wanted those things and to make ordering easier they just made the junkman kit.

Even if junkman DOES get a cut, who cares. You clearly get results with adams. This has been verified by many people in this community. The ease of procedure has also been verified. Some of us work very hard and to spend hours researching and doing all this other stuff to get our cars nice is a pain. The kit may be overpriced... I have no idea. Nor do I care. All I know is, at the end of the day, I can buy the Junkman kit, watch the video and my car will be beautiful. What other company can say that. You tell me. In fact if junkman isn't get a cut, he should be. Because he put in a lot of work for those video's and spent a lot of time on forums answering questions.

As Junkman said, haters gonna hate.

EDIT: Also by your own analogy, every hamburger place in texas that buys beef from the same farm is selling the same product, and hence all the hamburgers are the same. We all know this is clearly false. How the beef is handled and prepared, as well as the other materials used with the beef make a hamburger. The same is true for Adams.

You mean Godzilla? That thing is FAST. The way the gears change in that thing is so freakin' smooth that it will blow you away. One advantage it has over the Lambo's: My old azz can climb in and out of it a LOT faster and easier!
