Specialty automotive detailing products with in-house formulation and quality control
Adam's Polishes manufactures premium car care products—waxes, sealants, clay bars, and detailing supplies—using custom-formulated blends rather than mass production. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-first operation: Allen-Bradley controls, CMMS for maintenance, Dynamics 365 for ERP, plus analytical instrumentation (HPLC, FT-IR) for product chemistry. The company is mid-migration off legacy Infor ERP and actively addressing pricing infrastructure gaps and downtime reduction, suggesting operational scaling challenges typical of specialty manufacturers moving toward data-driven decision-making.

Current initiatives center on pricing optimization, preventive maintenance, equipment performance, and ERP modernization.
