Which Adams Products should I use to keep my new purchase looking good

[6.0DSLPWR]

Hey guys. I am currently a Level 3 Apprentice Commercial Transport Mechanic. For the past 3 years Ive been using my cheapo $300 tool box and yesterday took delivery of a nice shiny Snap On box. Im a sucker for Black (I drive a blacked out F350) so I went with a black box with custom black trim on the drawers instead of the usual chrome. After one day in the shop I'm already worried about choosing black! I'm not even working out of the black box as I haven't swapped my tools over yet but the black box is already covered with finger prints and looks horrible.

 

I am wondering what Adams Products you would recommend to keep the black paint looking wet...I know it wont be long before I have a drawer in that box dedicated to Adams Products and Towels just for keeping the box clean...I think my addiction has hit a whole new level:help:

 

EDIT-Im still waiting on delivery of the 1 inch think stainless steel work surface that goes on the top of the box.

Same as any metal.

 

You could use some (S)SHR, FMP, and MSS

 

if you wanted to be a true badass use the glaze and Americana on it as well

Revive or FMP followed by BG and Americana and your toolbox will be the envy of the neighborhood when they see the reflections off it.

It's black bro....you can shine that bad boy up all you want, but black is a full time job just like a car. In work environment, it's gonna show everything! Haha, trust me, I have one 2.

At the very least I would give it a coat of Americana and keep DS handy to keep it dusted off!

You don't even wanna know how the crazy in me would work that tool box!

 

I'm thinking everything from a Two Bucket Wash --> APW!

 

All the juicy, polish goodness, and face melting Glazeness included!

I'm with Chris, but I may add some BG to amp up the shine. Another thought - WW may be your friend here, as is reduces the static build up a little, which may cut down on the amount of dust at settles.

[Team Adam's]

I'd definitely keep DS and WW in good supply to wipe it down regularly, and like the others suggested - you can polish and wax it if the mood strikes you. Being that it'll be touched so often theres probably very little you can do to keep it perfect, but it won't be hard to keep it shiny!

Invest in a "tool box cover"

Its powdercoated, so its harder than clearcoat. Polishing it may not help much. Some wax and detail spary will keep it looking good though.
