Manolet and Anthony are the husbands of my good friends, Michele and Marg.  These guys have been friends since highschool and ever since, it has been their common interest to detail their cars.  They would even challenge each other on who had the best detailing job.  Later on, Anthony met the owner of Adam’s while he was living in the States.  

When Anthony came back to the Philippines two and a half years ago, he brought back 3 balikbayan boxes of assorted Adam’s products, sold out everything and everything else followed.  Now Adam’s is availabe in Handyman, True Value and Blade stores.  Their products are also being used in Detailing Centers.  

Adam’s is the business of the two best friends,  Anthony and Manolet (ANSAN which stands for  ANciano SANtos ).  It’s a great friendship and a great parntnership.  

This is part 1 of Heart2Heart’s feature for Adam’s as the 2 handsome Adam guys are going to actually detail my car to prove to us the quality of their products.  So watch out for part 2.  

Heart2Heart was so happy to listen to the two explain their different products.  I learned a lot from them – tips on cleaning, cleaning, more cleaning, and learning to become obsessive compulsive on keeping everything nice and shiny :-). Some products can actually be used also for cleaning in the home so it can be used for both car and for home.

All the products are non abrasive, ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY as they are all biodegradable.   They all have pleasant scents, mostly fruity, and are not poisonous when inhaled. Therefore, Heart2Heart definitely supports Adam’s products!

Nicely scented, this powerful leather cleaning agent is effective on steering wheels, door panels, dash boards, and other plastic, vinyl, and rubber surfaces inside the vehicle.  For a dry, rich finish with UV protection, follow with Adam’s Leather Conditioner.

This leather cleaner restores leather to brand new look.  It has a good SPF factor of 68.  It does not whiten leather or discolor.  It even smells like leather.  Good for belts, shoes and bags.   

Like tires that look new, not oily and shiny?   How about the exterior plastic of your vehicle?   You will love our Vinyl, Rubber, and Tire Dressing.   Enhance and protect the appearance of plastic, rubber, tires, moldings, and all vinyl surfaces. Adam’s V.R.T. is water-based, and contains no harmful solvents or alcohol. The thick moisturizing cream applies easily with a sponge and will not leave a greasy film, attract dirt, or harm paint and glass. Added U.V. protection keeps vehicle interiors and exteriors looking and feeling like new.

Vinyl, Rubber and Tire – Restores the true look of any vinyl and rubber in the house.  It is not sticky and does not attract dust because it is water based and not oil based. 

In & Out Spray is an incredible product for turning hard to reach, black plastic, rubber, and engines black again. 

This is the only aerosol product of Adam’s.  It restores any DULL BLACK FINISH – black wires in engine that are hard to reach, grill of cars- all you have to do is spray it.  So any black wires, grills at home, just spray it and it will be black again at the same time it smells good…. like baby powder. 

Now you see it, now you don’t. That’s what we like about Adam’s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. This non-toxic, non-allergenic cleaner contains no soap and will not create suds, yet it magically removes spots and dirt from your floor mats and other carpeted areas, and fabric upholstery.

This can be used for any carpet or upholstery at home. It ha sno smell.  Just spray and wipe off with a micro fiber cloth or any “basahan” but not terry towels.  For stubborn stains, use a toothbrush first and wipe off.

This pure liquid magic works wonders on stainless, brass, billet, chrome, and nickel. Our customers raved about the results the polish achieved on various metals that we now call it Adam’s Metal Polish #1. The liquid formula does not scratch and is safe to use on delicate metals. Follow with Adam’s Metal Polish #2 for additional shine and maintenance. 

Adam’s Metal Polish #2 achieves the highest achievable gloss on unpainted metals. The liquid formula contains no abrasives and is the highest gloss metal polish on the market. We love it for its effortless application. Use Metal Polish #2 by itself to maintain mirror-like results on brass, stainless, billet, nickel, and chrome. Apply and remove with a microfiber pad for best results.

 These two products can be used for silverware or stainless items in the house.

Customers have asked countless times for an excellent Glass Cleaner, and my response has been the same, “Until we make one that absolutely outperforms the others, we cannot offer one.” Well, it’s time! This Glass Cleaner outperforms the competition, and you will love it. Guaranteed to please, 110% 

This glass cleaner has no AMMONIA compared to the other commercial glass cleaners.  It can be used for mirrors, glass, stainless tops and windows.  

Adam’s Swirl & Haze Remover is not rubbing compound. The alumina-based microcompound formula is less abrasive than toothpaste and gently removes swirls and hazing from clearcoats and painted surfaces. For use by hand or machine. Contains no silicone. Body Shop safe.

This is used to remove scratches and swirls on any glass, paint surfaces, even watch glasses.   

Adam’s Detail Spray is the cornerstone of our product line and is the most versatile component in any detail kit. This “Best of Show” winner is a favorite at car shows. Use as a waterless car wash, a clay bar lubricant, or to enhance the depth and clarity of paint, chrome, plastic, aluminum, and glass. Specially formulated lubricants gently remove dirt, smudges, and grime, leaving surfaces with a smooth, ultra-high gloss finish. Use in the sun or shade, and in hot or cool temperatures.

Use on EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to CLEAN and SHINE any smooth and glossy surface. LCD TVs, computer screens, sunglasses and eyeglasses. Just spray and wipe with micro fiber cloth.   DJ Papi ( Manolet ) uses it for his vinyl records and CDs.  It is a MAGIC product.  Surface is smooth again after spraying.     

 One advantage of using Adam’s is that it cuts the work time a lot shorter because there’s no curing time.  It is easy to apply and remove and can be used under the sun.
