Hey Guys,

Just thought I'd jump in and say that Adam worked hard with us to ensure that the Southern California guys had a local supplier. We will be receiving our first shipment of Adam's products in the next week or two and will be holding regular clinics at our shop in Costa Mesa, right next to John Wayne airport!

Hey Guys,

We are the North American distributor for AP Racing and we have quite a bit of experience with Carbon Ceramic brakes. We have worked very closely with AP Racing on the development of their CCM brakes and we are even running them on our Nissan GT R Targa Rally car.

I will send an email to the engineers over at AP Racing and see what they think about the affects of different solvents/chemicals on the rotors.

I know that the construction of the rotor that we use vs. the construction of the rotor that GM uses is slightly different but I don't think that would make any difference in its ability to resist cleaning chemicals. We have washed our race car dozens of times and have used wheel cleaners before and so far we have not had any problems with our brakes.

One thing to keep in mind is that CCM brakes, by their nature, put out very little to virtually no brake dust. You probably don't need a very aggressive wheel cleaner in order to remove that dust. I remember during the Targa Rally I had to remove the wheels from the race car three days in to the event and I was absolutely stunned that my hands were pretty much clean after touching the wheel. This was on a car that had been raced for three days straight on public roads in Newfoundland, Canada.

In there you will find more information on our race car, the event, and the brakes.

I have seen this truck at numerous car shows and it is gorgeous. Amazing attention to detail and the work looks beautiful! It is going to make someone very happy!

the heat from your hands acts like a catalyst, which allows the paste to liquify quicker, so you are able to spread it easier. your hands won't absorb the wax like a foam applicator will, so you don't have any wax wasted, stuck inside the applicator. that, and some people like to get real personal with their cars.

Thank you for the explanation! I have heard of this before but never fully understood what the reasoning was.

Amazing work! If you didn't know any better you'd think it was re-paint!

Beautiful car!

I have always been a fan of the Vette's but the ZR-1 just blows me away!

Very good looking truck!

You should move to California. "Winterizing" your clean vehicle means that instead of wearing board shorts, tank top and sandals while cleaning your truck, you wear slightly longer shorts, shoes, and T-shirt! LOL
