Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns, John! It is very much appreciated. We will take this to heart to continue our journey of always improving. As others have said, I believe you have a faulty trigger or missing gasket. Happy to replace if you like! Thank you for taking the time to explore some ADS.

Hey Jon, DJ here from ADS. Thank you for taking time to review our product, we appreciate it. Sorry for the faulty sprayer, I will contact in2detailing to replace it for you and if not we can send you 1, too.

ADS has done a great job to establish themselves over the course of using their products for a year in the states. Bradley and DJ have done a great job with the brand. I see they both commented on resolving the issue with the defective sprayer.

[@jayhoughton558]

ADS products are top tier and fairly priced in North America. Their whole lineup is solid and the people that created them are detailers. If you look at the products on their main website, they actually list their revisions and what changed with the product. I’ve never seen another company do that before. It shows that they are constantly improving and striving to be better. I love their sprayers, yours was just defective. And their new rinse less wash I think is one of the best ones on the market, called Hero. Easily better that N914 or ONR.

[@Standard_MT]

You’ve got a defective sprayer, Jon. My Amplify and Ceramic Sealant sprayers have been flawless. You should try their HERO rinseless wash next.

[@Galiy0]

This is one of the reasons i appreciate your videos and honesty. Reality checking heavily youtube markeded products. Are the products good, sure, but not necessarily way better than well established companies that i dont have to pay an arm and a leg for to import. I share your veiw on products "that they have to do everything well" and thats why i come here. Love your videos!

[@BiondosGarage]

The tire & wheel cleaners are outstanding. Hero their rinse less is on the way (hearing very good feedback). I’ve been utilizing the Amplify for a few months now and I’ve noticed it keeps it’s looks longer than bead maker, clean maker, Xtreme solutions topper, technicians choice, Gyeon ceramic detailer.

[@wesoakes]

Amplify is legit! Their whole line is killer. I suggest Tire+ and their coatings to try next.

[@gavin18787]

Another great video of a new brand. My personal favourite detail spray so far is the quick detailer from detail bug. Super easy to apply, works well on all surfaces inside and out and smells great to boot. I rate a lot of their range and its good value to boot. Would be good to see you look at some of their stuff some day. That combined with Bilt Hamber makes up 99% of my collection.

[@chrisbradley3224]

I like their waterless wash Adapt even more. All of their products I have tried are solid. I think Amplify is slicker than Gyeon Ceramic Detailer for sure and applies a bit more nicely. The Gyeon is more hydrophobic though.

[@Jnaszty559]

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Nice! I think that many brands have their logos small while the product name is larger. Armour has a distinctive logo that is easily recognizable and the product name has a correct lettering size. Unfortunately, I can't see the correct green color like you all do because of my protanopia (colorblindness spectrum) but the colors they have chosen set them apart from many other brands.

[@ForensicDetailing]

i dont think the branding is that strong personally. certainly not bad though. I like the brown colored bosten pet bottled teamed up with vela triggers.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

@@ForensicDetailing I think they have a good potential but I always have an issue with some new brands coming to the market without having simple issues like triggers leaking products when that's something that should have been solved before coming to the market or at least have a note or something recognizing that type of bottle problem because of materials not available or something

[@veils1de350z]

Adapt is a waterless wash, hero is the rinseless wash. You can dilute hero just like mckeees. I'm not sure you understand the difference. While rinseless can be used as a waterless wash it is definitely inferior as far as lubrication.

[@adamcordeiro47]

I was going to write this exact thing. Cmon Jon get ya head in the game! How dare you mix up waterless and rinseless wash😂

[@ForensicDetailing]

I've talked about this before..

[@jinxtacy]

It is one of the more interesting new companies in America that I want to check out. I think there's some pretty good competition though. Realistically, I've met people that only use Meguire's consumer line that have stunning cars. I think Adams and Jay Leno have some pretty solid offerings as well. I've been using Carpro just because of a cost of effectiveness. As my Carpro supply is dwindlinh I'm looking to order some some Armour Detail products or Shine Supply. The NV line looks solid but if we don't have to ship things around the globe needlessly that seems optimal.

[@ForensicDetailing]

Why would you use Jay Leno car wash products? It's like there is no alarm bell? Don't you want to buy chems from a brand with like expertise in car care Formulating? Brands like 3d car care I find interesting but if I explored the US market properly I would find formulator with good quality bulk prices. You guys seem prepared to literally pay anything.

[@jinxtacy]

​@@ForensicDetailing I think you have to rewind the clock back a bit to the days of Black Magic, Blue Coral, Turtle Wax, Rain X, Mother's maybe, and then Meguire's Gold Class, NXT had been phased out, Ultimate Wash and Wax, and Meguiar's Deep Crystal had been bumped off a lot of the shelves for Rain-X or the first I saw Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss. Jay Leno has a massive collection of cars that seem to be well-kept and has been a liked member of the car community for decades. While I agree that that doesn't make him qualified to get into the chemistry or even the business, you can see the incentive to be invested especially when you have a team working to keep your collection up to snuff mechanically as well. Early on they had a relationship with B&B Blending to take formulations to scale, and in the past had a small blending company for abrasives. They've also worked with the chemical and materials engineering lab at Cal Poly Pomona to create some of the formulas. $10 for 16 oz of a consumer-grade product that seemed like Adam's blue shampoo with an inferior cherry smell that you could buy seemed like a good option in a pinch that clean rinses and I have no complaints other than the smell. It's okay for a consumer product for the person that might wash their car every 8-12 weeks. I did a C8 for a friend impromptu and just ran to Walmart and grabbed it. Now we have Chemical Guys, some places have Adams, maybe Griots (tried it once and didn't care for it), Meguires, but still IMO the Leno's vehicle wash stacks up fine to any of the consumer-grade stuff. It's just pricey as is most consumer-grade quantities. He also had the influence to get his products valuable shelf facings in Texas when Adam's couldn't get a single facing. If you give me a choice between Adam's and JLG for car soap on a shelf I'd go Adam's purely for smell, but swap the scents and I'd go the other way. It's a good product, just not great value like most 16 oz products, but putting a $40 gallow that takes up more shelf space in a retail marketplace next to $5-13 half-gallon products probably won't net a lot of sales for the retailer with real normal consumers. Typically don't like to offer consumers stuff that they have to mix since instructions are hard here. The more time goes by, the more ingenious I find Meguire's consumer lines to be.

[@vincentolo9271]

I found this to be spotty (gummy) as a detail spray. I’d only use it as a drying aid and is this what the label meant to say as best method??? Did the mean best use?😮

[@clints8888]

maybe if you think the gyeon product is better it needs a head to head? It’s obviously super hard for a small American company to break into the UK. Good luck to them.

[@scotttaylor4430]

Are you going to try some Yumcar products? Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the products and brand

[@Thecardetailingnut]

[@ForensicDetailing]

@@Thecardetailingnut thats not true I thought they had decent chems. But like Ive said many time not all brands appreciate being price compared or even performance compared. Its been the same since I started doing this and it will always be this way.

[@79blustone]

The problem with New detailing brands from the US is that the import taxes kill the competitive pricing. If our governments negotiated less of a tax embargo, then these brands would thrive way better. The cost of filling a container is very expensive too, so I reckon Armour have probably cut prices just to get it over here. Also, when a new brand goes viral like Armour have done then all the best products from their range goes out of stock and takes weeks sometimes months to replenish leaving you looking elsewhere. I'm desperate to try Hero but In2detailing haven't got it stocked, lots of good reviews about it being smear free and a stronger clean then P&S Absolute. It also leaves a nice slick ish layer but not a coating that will impead with LSPs. The waterless wash you mentioned is different to their rinseless wash mentioned above, the waterless wash is to be used in small areas cleaning up spots of dirt rather than the whole car with Hero. I'm looking forward to getting my mitts on Hero. Come on Armour and In2detailing!

[@armourdetailsupply]

They will get HERO in the next batch in 2 weeks. So expect it in 3-4 weeks

[@79blustone]

@armourdetailsupply 🤞✨️🙌. Yep, I'm very much looking forward to trying this one. I use a rinseless wash at least 4 to 5 times a week! So I do get through it a lot. My only gripe is I wish it was in a 1 litre bottle or 32 Jibber Jabbers over there. I hurl this stuff on in great quantities. Also please please can you get In2detailing to stock those amazing rinseless wash pouches that are reverseable / turn inside out. I think they are from Autofiber? Specifically for rinseless washes, they would be something I really want to use.

[@briley337]

Great vid. I have a forensic question here. They say Amplify is good to use every wash, and won’t build up or clog a coating. I have always heard Bead Maker will. What is the science behind this dichotomy? Also just tried Amplify for the first time and enjoyed it.

[@ForensicDetailing]

clogging coatings is a bit of a buzzword imo. if you put a film forming product on top of a coating it forms a film (doh). This film has surface characteristics which are not the same as the underlying ceramic coating. so whats the difference. its just fencing with words.

[@LSD04]

On price doubling the 16oz price but not mentioning that they supply a gallon for £53 is a little unfair and should be included.

[@ForensicDetailing]

No it's not unfair because that's how we scale the price for all 5 products and distributed point accordingly. Do it's 100000% fair. You could say you want to see bulk price included as well. But it's still fair comparison

[@9fiveb180]

Waterless Wash doesn't mean it needs to be diluted before you use it. It just means you don't need water to use it. What you are thinking of would be something like a "concentrated" formula. Where you dilute it yourself prior to use.

[@ForensicDetailing]

It does not matter what it means. If you want to pay 19 pounds for a bottle of this please do. But the value exchange is not tipped in your favour. Your paying a huge amount of chemical cost to clean a car.

[@9fiveb180]

@@ForensicDetailing Clearly it does matter. Otherwise you wouldn't have felt compelled to say anything, or have an opinion about any of the products in your comparison videos. You would do well to do some research on the products and brands who produce them beforehand, instead of making initial disclaimers to the arbitrary nature of your "logic" behind your presuppositions, assumptions, opinions and beliefs. It's probably the easiest thing one can do, to help educate themselves about the basics that underpin one's progression throughout their development, from a cognitive functions perspective. Most of us learn the "importance of words, and the meaning behind them" when we're in primary school. Another measure of intelligence is in one's ability to hear feedback from others, and when presented with correct information that contradicts, or disproves the flawed logic behind one's opinion, where willful ignorance and misinformation has contributed to their inability to admit when they are wrong. I hope you can learn from this, and grow as a person and content creator. You owe it to yourself and your subscribers to provide useful content, not excuses for the opposite.

[@ForensicDetailing]

Oh jesus not another nut job. I'm just highlighting a waterless wash that's RTU and offers no one any value. Thats it. I've done videos covering the difference between rinseless and waterless.

[@9fiveb180]

@@ForensicDetailing Have you though? Because they're basically all different mixtures of surfactants in a low viscosity carrier fluid that surround contaminants and reduce the particulates tendency to leave behind surface abrasions, without the use of the universal solvent that we all know as "water." It seems odd that you refer to that being an "American" brand. Like "It's not worth anyone's time or money." Yet you contradict yourself and oscillate back and forth. Using backwards logic and reasoning to avoid broadening your perspective and learning from your comparisons. Are you able to laugh at your own mistakes, or has your ego and pride been running the show for so long that there's no hope for your edification? Don't let your insecurities and presuppositions cap your potential, buddy. You can do it! I believe in you😀

[@ForensicDetailing]

Like I say whenever you mention any negatives you get weird obsessive comments like this always from anonymous guys. These guys are typically linked to the brand in some way if I ever ask them to post their insta or Facebook profile they go quiet or tell me they don't use it etc .. amphoteric surfactant is the word your looking for.

[@equestrianwhisky]

You’ve 100% got a defective trigger. I’ve gone through about a dozen (or more) of their 16oz bottles, and all have been sealed perfectly. This may be my red-white-and-blue blood talking, but speaking for myself, I’m much more inclined to support a smaller brand that invests its profit in product production and development rather than allocating significant amounts to marketing. No doubt CarPro, Gyeon, etc. are all good (I do use some of their products), but I tend to cringe each time I reach for them. Nevertheless, I do understand the criticism of the branding. One point about their product Adapt: You’re absolutely right that diluting something like N-914 is substantially more cost effective; that said though, Adapt has fantastic lubrication and provides a surprising amount of protection for what it is. When bought in a gallon size in the US, the cost becomes much more reasonable as well.
