It's all good, I knew where you were coming from.
That post was to highlight I that it doesn't matter where the products are coming from, there is a lot to like about the ADS product range.

Corey explained CarPro Gyeon history to some extent in a recent interview.
When I make pizza crust, I use sugar and honey so I am custom blending.
From what I see often the magic in the formula is not the key ingredient but the carries that affect application that can increase dwell/cure time or removal.

Hmmm. Garage Therapy by chance? Just saw they're adding this one in a month or so. They're getting a pretty big spread of brands together for sure... even reaching globally for a good number of them.

It's making a case for itselfWhere do you think ADS falls among the elite brands? I haven't used any of their products but it seems to be right up there with the Carpro and Gyeons.Kind of a USA Carpro.

I don't know where that is, but it's not their 1,250 sq ft unit which is the address shown for both Naples Auto Armour and Armour Detail Supply, which is completely taken up by their detailing business. It doesn't look like the same building to me. I would guess that is at the blender of their shampoo, there are plenty to choose from in Florida, from what used to be Premium Finish Care, to the (different) places that Yancy and Meghan went.

Crafted does not necessarily means manufactured could mean designed. The have stated the formulate all their products but never state manufactured. Crafted could mean that. I feel if you did make your products as a start up you would come out and say it.
Adam’s did when they when they did make own products. Griots does.
Also just to be clear that video shows bottling… not manufacturing. They even right the numbers on a white board (which is weird) of numbers they wanted bottled. I’m guessing they are manufacturing soap or my hope is they are as a video like that would be misleading.
I saw with Shine Supply in and old video from Jeremy he use to get his products in huge containers and he would bottle and sell.
Even pan claims to formulate all his products. Specifically says not white labeling and hired his own chemist.
This doesn’t make it bad or good. All formulas if made in house are proprietary. This is not white labeling and doesn’t mean you make a bad product. Means you designed in house, and have a chemical company mix it to your specifications.
It would be nice if Making video’s like these to actually state… manufactured.

Very true. Showing bunch of people boxing or bottling doesn't really mean they're manufacturing in-house. How many of the raw materials come pre-packaged or pre-formulated vs actually blending multiple chemicals under one roof by an actual chemist?
Even if you did blend in-house, you're still purchasing from a variety of chemical companies or chemical houses like B&B etc.
ADS buys most of their raw materials in the US. Their coatings come from Asia, as do Pan's. Asia dominates coatings IMO. We have Cerakote, B&B, System X and Optimum as the US coating manufacturers.
I think Griot's bailed on a coating bc they couldn't control the process. They're very intent on having in-house control and with coatings they don't have the capability and would have to outsource that.
Griot's has an actual laboratory with nice equipment and actual chemists.

For those of you who have ordered directly from ADS...did you notice on the shipping label where it actually came from? That may tell us if they have set up a separate warehouse location in Florida, where that bottling/boxing video may have been filmed.
What about P&S and Stoner Car Care? Those are both large manufacturers seemingly capable of making their own coatings.

It's a play on words. A marketing ploy. I'm quite sure that it is worded so the casual observer just assumes it is manufactured where they want people to think it is manufactured. They would not be the first or only ones to use such strategies.
Not going to say where a product is manufactured is not important. Being born and bred in the USA I prefer to support products made in the USA. However there are other very important considerations. First and foremost is the performance of the product. Second would be value. If one wants an overpriced product there are available in every catagory.
