b_pappy Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Great job on those wheels, nice to be able to sell more of this again. Dylan - next time you are back in Colorado also pick me up some of that coffee Adam was drinking, towards the end of the video he was moving!

TheCarBarber Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 can you layer these before removing? like how you can apply RP right on top of SHR without removing the residue before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1anonly Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I read a few posts back that it goes on sale today. Any clue as to when? My guess is that it will be the Daily Special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttown Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 My guess is that it will be the Daily Special Sweet! So it will possibly actually be on 'sale' I'm definitely in! It'd be awesome if the special came with bg, mp1, and something else I've never been an early adopter before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 As far as using it on grills, will it cause any problems while using the grill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Not sure I'm understanding what you're asking... you mean the front end surrounds on your car? Those are actually a painted plastic, not metal, so just use the same stuff you'd use to polish the paint elsewhere on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 AH! Well if you're just polishing the outside theres no concern... if you were gonna polish anything where food would actually touch I'd suggest wiping it down with IPA after polishing to get any residue off as it might give it a metallic taste.

MAYBEN Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Ahh gotcha.. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any issues with heat and flammability.. Might make my grill look awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crewxp Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Sweet! Looking forward to today's daily deal. Hope it comes in some package too. It's hard keeping my wheels shiny for more than a day. Quick question though. My camaro's wheels say: 20" Polished Aluminum. The correct way to wash these would be... 1.) APC 2.) MP 1 3.) MP 2 4.) BG? is that correct? Just want to make sure I have my product lineup ready today! Thanks guys for the awesome products again! Haven't had a product I hated yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to make sure I have my product lineup ready today! Thanks guys for the awesome products again! Haven't had a product I hated yet If they're the factory "Polished Aluminum" wheels then I'm pretty sure they're clear coated, in which case you'd treat them like you would the rest of your paint. If you decide to try the Metal Polish and the applicator doesn't turn black right away then they're definitely clear coated. I suppose you could use APC to clean them but I use the Green Wheel Cleaner. Many people use just Car Shampoo if the wheels aren't that dirty but my G8's brakes like to dust a lot so I always just use the GWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using APC followed by BG on it! That's why I was asking Just wanted to make sure how I was supposed to treat it. And yes, I have seen the video on mp 1 and mp 2. I was just hoping I could use the two on it. They look awesome and I want to buy them. I was hoping for a waterless wash daily special, to try it out, but now I'm looking forward to this too. So many things to buy :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDM Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Here's some quotes by Dylan from this thread: http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9642 Like the others the first question I'd need an answer to is are they ACTUAL polished aluminum (billet - aftermarket) or are they the factory GM "polished aluminum" which is actually a painted and clear coated finish (just like the rest of your car) made to resemble polished aluminum. The fastest way to know - take a small drop of metal polish on a light colored towel. Rub into a spot of your wheel (when they're clean) if you get a lot of black transfer you have raw aluminum... if you don't get any black transfer you're dealing with something else. EDIT: If you're wheels look like this they're clear coated. You'll pretty much just treat those wheels like you do the rest of the paint on your car. Polish and wax them... polish as needed and wax/seal as often as you can as it will break down quickly due to the heat and exposure on the wheels. Keeping them protected will also make them much easier to clean. The factory camaro brakes are DUSTY!! The more you can do to make cleanup easy the better off you are. The BG should be fine to help them shine but the APC may be a little harsh to use every time. If you were to wax them to protect them, the APC would probably strip that wax right back off.
