Why Adam’s Pricing Might Be Hurting Their Own Customers

Adam’s has the look, the legacy, and the hype—but are their prices actually fair for what you get? Let’s break down what you’re paying for, and whether the value is really there.

Adam’s Polishes has built a premium reputation—but is their pricing aligned with the results? Let’s take a look at what you’re really getting for the money.

There’s no denying that Adam’s Polishes has a polished brand. Beautiful packaging, big influencer presence, and a wide product line. But as more budget-conscious DIYers and professional detailers look for real-world performance and value, Adam’s pricing has started to raise eyebrows.

What You’re Actually Paying For

  • High-end packaging and design
  • Heavy investment in influencer partnerships
  • Large product catalog (which means more marketing overhead)

That’s fine—if the products significantly outperform the competition. But in many head-to-head tests, including our own, they don’t.

Price Comparison: Adam’s vs Jimbo’s

Product Adam’s Price Jimbo’s Price
Ceramic Spray (16 oz) $24.99 $19.99 – Tough As Shell
Car Wash Soap (16 oz) $14.99 $12.99 – The Super Soaper
Drying Towel $24.99+ $19.99 – Massive Drying Towel

Price Isn’t the Problem—Value Is

It’s not about being the cheapest. It’s about delivering performance that matches the price tag. And when a product streaks in the sun, breaks down in weeks, or requires specific conditions to work properly—you’re paying for more than just ingredients.

How That Hurts the Customer

  • They spend more money to get less durability
  • They blame themselves for streaks or failure instead of the product
  • They keep buying “booster” products to compensate

And many detailers don’t even realize there are better options—like Tough As Shell—that work better and cost less.

Why Jimbo’s Takes a Different Approach

Every Jimbo’s product is developed with one goal: make it easier and faster for everyday detailers to get professional results. That means:

  • Fewer steps
  • Forgiving formulas
  • Lower price points with pro-level performance

 

Tough As Shell is a perfect example. Easy to apply. Safe in the sun. No gimmicks. It protects like it should—without requiring a “maintenance topper” to finish the job.
