Thumbs up Adams Wheel Polish (1&2)

Decided to try some myself after hearing all of the great things about it. Ive used Mothers for a while, it works pretty good, but not as good as Adams IMO. It works very fast and its easy to get off. Just did my prostars and threw some Rejex on them afterwards. All I can say is this polish is the ****! I'll have to get some pics up later.

I was just looking at getting some and was wondering if it is worth it. Time to pull the trigger I guess.

I use White Diamond but have thought about using this just to see if there is a difference.

Adams wheel polish by far is the BEST stuff that I've used so far hands down!

Has anyone used both Blingmaster (green stuff and alluminator) and the Adams step 1 and 2 polish? I'd like to know if there is a big difference in the two.

All of the Adams products are awesome. The Metal Polishes work fast. I polished some wheels for a friend and he said they looked better after 15 minutes on each wheel then they did after 2 hours with mothers.

Just got some in the mail. Good to hear its worth it. But only bought the 4oz before buying the big one. Does it get the fine scratches out?

I saw something on the corvette forum where a guy used Webril wipes/pads to apply Adams polish and then another Webril wipe/pad to remove it. It completely removed the fine scratches.

I can vouch for it, it works great. I used the two as a combo when I first got my car about a year ago and it restored the shine to my wheels. Now, I just use #2 on them every month or so to keep them looking good.

I have a set of CCW T10s that I picked up used that are in rough shape. I've been using the Mother's polish, and it's working, but man o man is it incredibly time consuming. I'm talking 3-4 hours in a wheel and still not happy. I've been debating just starting over and sanding them with 1000 grit, or having them powder coated. I go back and forth.

Maybe I'll try the Adams and see how well it works.

I actually took off my CCW wheels this weekend and spent a lot of time cleaning and polishing them with Mother's Billet and Aluminum polish and I'm not happy either. There are still areas that are black in color and a few places between the split spokes that is white and spotted. I spent so much time on those areas and the polish really didn't do a damn thing. I'm in the same boat and am contemplating wet sanding with 1000 grit and then going back over it with 2000 grit. Anyone think the Adams polish will remove these areas without me having to wet sand?

I feel exactly the same way as you. I'm waiting to hear from other people's experiences.

Yeah, it would be nice to know if any product will remove what I'm talking about, or if I'm just waisting my time when it could be better spent wet sanding and then polishing. That is my last resort, but I'll do it if it makes the wheels come out like new. I'd love to hear more feedback on the Adams polish, as well as anyone who's used Blingmaster. From what I've read, those are the two premium polishes.

So this is completely safe to use on my polished aluminum ccw's?

Check this out Alchemist:

http://www.iammoon.com/c5tech/polish_wheels.htm

Results are pretty impressive. My question is, how long will a 4oz bottle of the 1 and 2 polish go? I can get it for $20.00 plus shipping. Anyone know how many hand polishes I can get out of it?
