Thanks. I've never tried Adams polish before.What's this americana ? Buttery like you purchased is an easy on easy off wax with a little bit of fillers in it to hide some imperfections. Americana is a hard carnuba wax that gives you longer protection (1.5-2 times longer than Buttery) and a SUPER brilliant shine and depth to boot! It doesn't have the hiding qualities that BW (Buttery Wax) has, but the Brilliant Glaze you bought does. What you want to do is get some of the NEW (literally came out a week ago) Adams #1 and #2 metal polish clean your aluminum until you're happy, then coat the aluminum with some BG (Brilliant Glaze) and coat with your BW for protection. You'll be amazed! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Harry, can you snap a few photos of your rims? I'd love to see the condition. Sometimes, on those wheels, a serious abrasive is needed.. . . . . . Photos tell all, and if you can't post pics here for any reason, email them and we'll give a prescription....

Optical24 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Wow this thread has saved me so much money. I have some grille trim on my car that has the aluminum look, and was planning to bring it in for chrome plating, which would cost hundreds of dollars. So if I use metal polish #1 and #2 will make the aluminum trim to chrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I use metal polish #1 and #2 will make the aluminum trim to chrome? Depends... If it's a quality aluminum it will make it look a lot like chrome. To look like chrome it pretty much has to be chromed. You can get it pretty dang close though. Sent from my iPad using special algorithms and data nodes.

Chewy Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Those aren't bad IMO... I think 1&2 will make them pop... "Mom" makes some polishing tools that have a patent on them that will make your job easier as well... Nice bird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
