I'd say best option in my mind, is to get that polishing kit I mentioned, and then after that either use eco wheel cleaner or just normal car shampoo and a mitt on them. If down the road you notice them getting hazy you can use metal polish and just hand jive them back to a nice shine. Simple and easy steps I'd say.

I'm pretty happy with this. I'm sure I can get it back pretty close to that. I haven't even washed them off yet to see how much brake dust just washes off. I want to get the bullet holes and bolt holes cleaned up before I mount them. Do Dremel sized buffing pads and rouge blocks exist? I'll have to do some searching. Will polish protect them for a time so that I don't have to wash them all the time? I've read that polished aluminum is a chore which is fine but I'd like something on them to make it easier to keep them clean. 

I dont know if these are dremel sized, but back a year or so I bought a kit like this for my cordless drill that worked great for smaller spots.

I wouldn't say yours are polished necessarily but they are aluminum. So maintenance on them will be minimal compared to most polished wheels. But to answer your question, polish will clean them up but does not protect the wheel really. You'll just have to keep up on the washing regularly I'd say. Just be glad your wheels aren't polished out like mine, these are a real pain lol

The best way and the most effective is a grinder/polisher and airway buffing pads and rouge blocks, this is how professionals polish aluminum wheels. Now I don't know if you're looking to get them looking like mirrors or just want them to be clean. As for the ceremic coating, I personally wouldn't on aluminum wheels. The aluminum will still oxidize underneath and the coating will make it way more work to burn through that before it actually starts to polish the wheel.

Great looking spaces, everyone.  

 

Can I play? 

 

 

 

Hold on while I pick my jaw up off the floor... wow. just wow!

Sure I'll try my luck! Thanks Dan for the chance!

I think that would be really cool! I'm up in washington so it'd be nice to meet some other Adams followers around me

Just use a microfiber blanket and cut it and sew it into apron. It’s certanly big enough. 

I love my blanket too much as a blanket to cut it up for use as an apron though. 

For the love of god please no lol. I have been on the hunt for one of those blankets for awhile now haha. I'd hate to see one get cut up for that!

Were you talking with my wife today on FB?  She said someone in Washington was looking for posters. 

Yep that had to of been me! Lol

Oh I'm aware. I'd easily cover shipping that's no problem at all.

Well my lead for posters didn't follow through unfortunately... Can anyone get me any by chance off here?! They are on the show trailer so someone who can go to a show could maybe grab me a few?

Became a Adam's fan in Nov 2019 .....absolutely love the products, videos and forums. Couldn't be happier!

 

Woah you're from the Future?! Tell us the cool stuff Adam's has out that we don't know about yet! 😆

I work at Seattle City Light as an Equipment Servicer. It pays the bills and lets me afford the Adam's stuff I need 😅

Bump... anyone?! I think this is a lost cause until they hopefully make some at the end of this year again...

If I'm looking to buy a used vehicle and they claim it to be well maintained, I open the hood and it's dirty....not well maintained. How can you ever see if you have a fluid leak or issue if it's always dirty under there?!?! As a full time dealer tech I appreciate a clean engine bay. Nice work!

Thank you! Engine bay cleaning has quickly become my favorite thing lately. But exactly I can’t agree more with you on all that. Especially since I do all my own wrenching, I’d prefer to work in a clean area if I can help it lol. 

I am curious, I want to try this new tire armor as it sounds promising, but along with doing research on it I have seen in order to remove the tire armor, you have to contact Adams and specifically request something to take it off which is not on the site. Now why would it not be for sale is my question and what is it?

I owed a friend a favor after he wired in some outlets in my garage and so he asked if I'd help clean his truck up before he posted it for sale. By no means did I get to detail it like I wanted, but it sure does look a lot better! He said he would have never thought to clean under the hood and I explained how much of a selling point to me and plenty of others a clean engine bay is!

Man that would be cool if they did this at every store but I feel like they would just carry the basics and not the cool stuff we all use lol

Yep unfortunately I believe all of the posters are in our show rig at the moment. I believe our next event with the full rig setup will be the Goodguys Hot Rod show in Scottsdale in March, then we will be at Barrett-Jackson West Palm Beach Florida in April. I would say we had about 50 of the Squarebody Syndicate posters left in there when we packed up, possibly more if there was another box I wasn't aware of.

 

We also had ZR1 and BMW posters that we gave out at SEMA a few months back, but those went fast!

Dang it! The squarebody ones are the only ones I care about, I'm a truck guy haha. I may have found a lead with a local dealer of mine and another guy off the facebook groups said he had a few. Maybe I'll get lucky!

If they have a schedule of what shows the trailer would be at, I'm sure we can find someone willing to grab some. If it makes it way down to the southeast I'll gladly grab some for you.

I guess I can ask that question! I appreciate the gesture there, sounds like I'm not the only one  who would like them. Surprised they dont offer them for a buck or two on their site. I'd buy them

Following, I'd be interested in some as well.

 

Did they give a schedule of where to find the show trailer throughout the year? Maybe we can find some forum members who will be close to a stop and score some that way? 

They said the trailer doesn’t come back to the warehouse till July. They also recommended finding someone who could go to a show and grab some for me

I saw someone post a picture of this poster they got and I have to have it! I would like a few of them if possible. I contacted Adams and they said they are on their show trailer and do not have them at the warehouse so that was a dead end. I tried Detail Giant as well and Platinum Polishes so I have made an effort to find these lol. If you're a dealer I will gladly place an order just to make it worth it or if someone just can get them maybe we can make a trade? Let me know!

This is by far the coolest Camaro I have ever seen! I wouldn't change a thing!

If any dealers on here have one I'd also just buy one outright...

This is an impressive project! Good work!

Here's their phone number. Give them a call, and ask for Ray S. in the performance center. (866) 713-0162

I actually found them on Facebook and messaged them. No go there either. Looks like I’m just gonna have to hope they make more this year sometime around the holidays lol
