Default Wheel Polishing Question Using Adams Metal polish....

I tried using Adam's Metal Polish 1 & 2 for the first time on my TT2's and They are still not as clear as I want them to be. I thought the adams # 2 would get rid of that any users got any tips how to use the polish correctly? I usually use white diamond or bling master.

From my understanding (never tried the product), Adams metal polishes 1 & 2 are supposed to be used together in order to get the best results.

I just used Mother's this weekend for my ZR1's and was so close to taking a shave cause the reflection was pure mirror like.

By hand with microfiber applicator. I take it off with Microfiber towel then go over it again with a different microfiber towel.

They were cleaned first before starting using FLITZ cleaner, then dried over night.

Yep that video influnced me to try it.


I'm down to my last wheel. The Left wheel was polished using white diamond and right wheel was done using adams polish 1 then followed by #2. Still can't get the "Mirror" look I want out of the wheels.

This is going to sound crazy and ghetto but my cousin told me about it and it worked like a CHAMP, use newspaper instead of a towel for the wheels, somehow the newspaper gives it an aggressive shine and mirror like finish, believe me, try it.

I will give it a shot on my track wheels when I take them off.

Hmmm I'm assuming the wheels are polished AL. To be honest I've never used Adams on that. The only polished things on my car are the stainless tips. They come out like a mirror...
