so back in january I did a full paint correction with the Adams swirl and haze remover, machine polish, and machine sealant all applied by the porter cable buffer. the other day i washed the truck with adams shampoo and these are the pics i snapped of it.
since the full paint correction ive clay barred the truck twice along with some mothers carnuba wax and then the second time with adams buttery wax
im really impressed with adams products and how well they are holding up.
also the Quick sealant has worked wonders for my polished racelines. The brake dust barely builds up on them and water spots just wash away when it comes time to wash the truck.
after washing the wheels they look like this
Thanks man and I think I'll let them be for a few months and see how bad they get hopefully the quick sealant will keep them good and I can keep polishing them
Very true, and yeah it was pretty satisfying even though the wheels are only about a month old haha
Haha I guess they get your approval? lol
Yeah they're only a month old so I spent like a half hour on them. I have to take them off and get into the tight spots. I just wanted to see how well the mp 1&2 work lol
Thanks! One more question, I'm gonna switch them out for my stock wheels during the winter and polish the racelines really good. I was thinkin about either powder coating them or painting them with a clear coat. What's your opinions on this? Should I leave them I uncoated or polish them really good and have them sealed permanently?
thanks for the compliments! and i will try the 4" pads later on down the road and i will be sure to put some more svrt on. i tried the "milk" and it works perfectly for the hard to reach spots on the tires.
yes i want to get some brilliant glaze as well. used the quick sealant on them about 3 times now since i got the wheels and its been helping tremendously with reducing the brake dust
lol thanks, i just want to make sure im polishing them right. its my first set of raw aluminum wheels and want to keep up with them. might try a power ball next and see if it makes a difference.
still open to opinions on how they look
so I got some of the metal polish 1 and 2 and the square blue microfiber polishing pads. I have polished them with both polishes and i feel like im not getting the full effect. I dont know if I'm doing something wrong, or just need to use a different method.
just want some opinions on how the wheels look and what I should do if they don't look how they should.
Thanks! and not too far from me, i went to williamstown high
Thanks:cheers:
thanks!
thanks!
Thanks!

thanks man! and i havent even done anything to them yet, haha. my metal polish #2 and quick sealant should be here friday, so i will post up some pics once i get them polished
sounds good, will do that then
haha i was actually thinking the same thing when i bought it. we got a 2008 Pierce Velocity tower ladder back in 08 and the wheels are starting to look dull so i might put some on and see what it does
whats going on guys? new to the forum but have been using some of the adams products for a few months and i love what i have used so far.
I have an 07 silverado with the rancho 4" lift and 33's on 18x10's
