Team Adam's Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Theres always additional costs shipping accross the border... if you order thru us you're responsible for those charges, with the case of the local dealer hes already absorbed those costs for you and rolled them into the total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hslager69 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 So i called Don at http://www.showandshine.ca and ordered metal polish #1 & #2 in 16oz size.He had to place a new order soon so i should have it in 3 weeks as he didn't have that size in stock. when i get it i will try to remember to take before & after shots.

hslager69 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 :2thumbs:Well i finally got my order of metal polish #1 & #2 in 16 oz size (Thanks Don at http://www.showandshine.ca ) . So i pulled one of the rims off my firebird tonight and tried to clean them,All i can say is WHOW!!!!!! is this stuff good.I hardly used any polish (maybe a teaspoonful ), I spent maybe 1 1/2 hrs on it but i paid attention to getting all the water spots off. It looks like chrome already and i still need to finish it off with brilliant glaze. I am a believer now in Adams and can't wait to try the buttery wax & brilliant glaze on the paint! I will take pics of my next rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hslager69 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 What should i use to seal the aluminum after cleaning? I have buttery wax and brilliant glaze. One or the other or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 What should i use to seal the aluminum after cleaning? I have buttery wax and brilliant glaze. One or the other or both? Use the Buttery for protection. The BG will not add protection. The Machine Super Wax is your best bet for longer term protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 If you wanted to, Machine Superwax is also an option. Use a blue applicator, let it set up for 45 mins, remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great if i had some but i just started using Adam's stuff and only have metal polish 1 & 2 and buttery wax plus brilliant glaze. Actually the metal polish is the first of Adam's used,haven't tried the BW or BG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Go with the Buttery Wax then to keep the wheels protected for now. Being that wheels are exposed to much more abuse (high heat, brake dust, road grime) Machine Superwax becomes the 'ideal option' as its synthetic formula holds up longer, but Buttery will give you some short term protection... just apply a coat after each wash to keep it up.
