"SharkHide® is the ideal long-term protectant for steel, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless and fiberglass"
Just saw this on "Gearz" or "Trucks" TV show this week. Never heard of it. This thread since 2010. What's the Jury say about the stuff for long term and steel/aluminum use?
Is it as great as advertised? Does it wash off easily, like with WD40?

I like the Wash and Wax, seems to make drying the car a bit easier from a slicker surface. Water beads like crazy with it. It's just not as foamy. I haven't tried the Gold Class though.

I'm looking to buy a PC kit for my WS6 which is my DD. It has some good swirls and scratches, nothing terrible but it could really use some more shine, as the black seems dull to me. I was looking at the adams kit, it comes with their severe swirl,swirl, and time machine polishes with the pads for each for 240. I'd just have to buy the sealant or wax seperate. What do you think of this kit? or is their a better kit for the money?
do you have a link to this kit?
i have heard good things about adams products but nothing spectacular....i would browse the forums on autogeek.com for proven products. i think you could spend alot less and get better products if you do some research. Chimcal guys, duragloss and poor boys make great products with the budget minded person. i have detailed many customer cars with their products with outstanding results.
with your car being black, i would suggest you use polishes, waxes and sealants designed for darker colors.

I've got quite a few water spots on my Fikse wheels. What is the best way to clean these off? Also can you recommend some great polish and a sealer to keep them looking good? Will I be ok applying all these products by hand or should I get a drill attachment etc?
Thank you!
Thank you!
Mothers powerball worked wonders on my weld wheels removing water spots

I've used this method on several cars with outstanding results. Before I owned my makita rotary though, I did them by hand with M105/M205 with pretty solid results. Sealed them with blackfire wet diamond.

Unless he had his done custom, Fikse wheels are uncoated. Try Chemical Guys Metal Shine with microfiber towel.

I just bought a black car that has significant swirling in the gloss. I think the previous owners washed it after driving on gravel and swirled it up good. Wax covers some of it, but I think it needs to be buffed. Any preference on product line or polishing agents? Ive heard a lot of good stuff about Zaino, but it doesnt appear to have a multi-step polishing system. How about duragloss or carbrite?
Good luck.
