cskipgo Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hello! My car has metallic black painted rims. Before I found Adams I was using a CG MaxCoat Wheel Guard that was specifically for wheels/rims. What would be the best Adam's product, just a regular wax like Americana or Buttery? Thanks!

Are you looking for just a wax? or a ceramic product? Adams has a Ceramic Wheel coating, if that's what you're looking for. https://adamspolishes.com/products/ceramic-wheel-coating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't thought of ceramic! Will take a look, thanks! If I stayed wax though, would the items that I have on hand be good, the AW or BW? Hoping to get HGG at the Anaheim grand opening, would that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yo-Yo Ma's Cousin Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 HGG and CB (Ceramic Boost) are both very quick and effective ways to protect your wheels. I recommend either and/or both. So you already have Americana and Buttery. I don't see any issue with using those as protection on your painted wheels, but since I haven't used either on my wheels, let alone specialty wheels, I would defer this answer to @Chris@Adams @falcaineer @Dan@Adams just in case cskipgo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 falcaineer Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Americana or Buttery would look great but aren't designed to withstand the heat or beating wheels take, so you likely won't see much longevity. Instead, as recommended above, I'd suggest HGG, Ceramic Boost, Ceramic Spray Coating or the Ceramic Wheel Coating. Post some pics of the finished wheels!

0 Yo-Yo Ma's Cousin Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks @falcaineer So @cskipgo, looks like using either of the waxes would work as protection while you wait to acquire the other product. Be aware that it will likely require reapplication more often than normal. Butter Wax may need reapplication weekly while americana may need reapplication monthly or more often. cskipgo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my little bit of research, maybe black wheel wax might be an idea suggestion? (I guess eventually I need to "not be afraid" of ceramic products) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint Sealant will last a little longer, and any of the spray coatings should last even longer. cskipgo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello! My car has metallic black painted rims. Before I found Adams I was using a CG MaxCoat Wheel Guard that was specifically for wheels/rims.
What would be the best Adam's product, just a regular wax like Americana or Buttery?
Thanks!
