did you use the porter cable buffer or by hand?

I'll give this a try next wash. Do you also DS spritz the windshield / windows?

Yup! You can shoot those up too!

It works well especially when the water starts to dry out. DS FTW!!

The engine bay looks hot too!

really nice!!

Have any of you guys tried that?? I been doing it for months and I think it give it the extra protection and shine to the paint.Plus its pain free

dang, I got to get me one!

welcome bro

Dude, you have one good looking H2. Huge props for doing all the work on your own

Some cars pull it off and some dont. Nuff said.

you think she is ever coming back???

lol!

I have used both MSW and Buttery on all different wheel finishes Adam. While it does make them look nice I find that they just don't hold up very long. For whatever reason the protection seems to break down on the wheels MUCH sooner than it does on the painted panels.

 

Before the wheels were blacked I even went so far as to treat my drivers side with Rejex and my passenger side with MSW. I wanted to confirm my thoughts that the MSW was breaking down... approx. 2 weeks later, after a couple days of light rain and some sunny days I washed. The Rejex side I was literally able to almost hose most of the brake dust and road grime off, took very little to get them clean. The opposite side didn't come clean as easily and it was obvious the MSW had broken down somewhat.

 

Honestly I think the added abuse seen by a wheel (heat, debris, brake dust, etc) really beats up on protective finishes. While I love MSW for my paint it just isn't tough enough for wheels... at least not on a daily driver IMO.

 

Again, I LOOOOOOVE MSW... its all I use on my paint, but for my wheels I opt for a sealant and then top it it with MSW or BSG if I want extra "POP"

+1! Well put.

LOL at him cleaning the wheel!

Glad to have you here on the forums! Now you can tell us all the funny stories of Adam when he was a little boy!! WOOT!

But seriously, Adam has been a great friend to all of us here and I'm glad to be part of this family.

I've done my own windows, but failed with the rear window. Since some windows are curved, a heat gun is required to "mold the film".

I was told to spray them with apc and hang dry...should work like a charm

I've tried the the machine wax, but its so hard to get thru all the small spaces and corners

Will wheel wax be added to the Adam's line up any time soon? I have painted wheels and I think it would be a great idea to keep them up with some wheel wax.

Anyone know?

I just smell my towels

It makes it easier to clay, polish, and wax the paint and glass at the same time. The results are chiny!!

I know I lost the washer, is there any easier way to get the washer? home depot? can a metal washer be substitutable?

What show will you be attending?

Its in a park in chino, more of a car club meet but in a show style. Prizes and awards are given away as well.Its our 8th annual bbq meet

this is the front view(taken from eye view,im 5'11)

I got a show to do 2morw...it would be a great idea to take the wheels off and do that same thing you did:2thumbs:
