Great work as always Phil and the team you guys sure seem to use Adam's apc alot, How do you like it? compared to other apc's. I use opt power clean but am always curious
I like it, it does the job and its cheap. Since I have a candy store of products I'm fortunate enough to grab anything off the shelf that I want to use. If you take a look back I use a ton of P21S TAW as well. Right now we have Power Clean out and we are using that now. So I guess I love everything I carry....I try to say unbias...; )
what do you think of the menz top inspection? considered buying some last time i ordered polish, does it work better than like a quick detailer or alc/water?
