Looks great! Nice shop too. I need room like that.

[aquariussuperman]

Using Adam's Polishes?

[thedak]

I used Mothers Billet on them this time.

[aquariussuperman]

Have you tried Meguiar's Mag and Aluminum Polish? Smells like bubble gum and turns everything black. I was surprised how well it worked on the aluminum parts in my engine bay.

[Underoath]

I used Mothers Billet on them this time.

Which did you like more?

[thedak]

Adams #2 Polish is the best stuff hands down.

but they don't make it anymore and I ran out...

[CGMike]

Can you tell me how you go about polishing them? What steps/products you use? I have my CCWs now and I want to make them shine and bling like yours. haha. Looks good!

[BUCKNERBUCK2]

Thats what I need to do. Mine havent had a good polish in nearly a year.
Look fantastic dak.

nice...

[cnttouchthis]

your car makes me wanna cry cause mine doesnt look that good :(

[thekingntb]

Ur car always looks amazing

[thedak]

Yes,

I polish them using a latex glove.

Do not polish your CCWs with microfiber towels.

It will leave micro scratches in them and they will look like poop.

[purplenurple]

Meh, I see macro-scratches

[thekingntb]

Yes,

I polish them using a latex glove.

Do not polish your CCWs with microfiber towels.

Thats good to know for people that are buying CCW's and would just use a microfiber towel..

[thedak]

Meh, I see macro-scratches


:eek2:

[purplenurple]

Yeah, I said it

And I polish mine with a Trojan "glove"

[Black 05 GTO 6 Speed]

Please go over this again. Do you put on a latex glove and put the polish on the glove?

[Black 05 GTO 6 Speed]

Go over this again please. Do you just put on a latex glove and put the polish on the glove? What about cotton balls?

[thedak]

Please go over this again. Do you put on a latex glove and put the polish on the glove?

Go over this again please. Do you just put on a latex glove and put the polish on the glove?


Yes and Yes

[thedak]

Yeah, I said it

@ least we know it isn't a Magnum...

[ls2 goat]

So are you using a microfiber to remove the polish or is there another trick?

[Blackbat]

So are you using a microfiber to remove the polish or is there another trick?

Yeah, what kind of towel is safe to use if not microfiber?

[bleek]

Nice...pics of the G8 and mustang?

[SK360]

Nice...pics of the G8 and mustang?

Both are dak's father in laws... G8 is pretty stock.. the mustang gt... well....

not so much :)

[NA$TY-TA]

Yeah.......

[ddawson]

Ditto, I want to know what rag you use to remove the polish.

[asaberan]

Nice wheels! I think Imma get me a set!

[BUCKNERBUCK2]

I think everyone should get the same wheels as dak. :wall: everyone

[purplenurple]

I'd imagine that he uses regular MF towels to remove the polish, and just applying as little pressure as possible. I like to fold it into a square so its extra fluffy, and I wouldn't use expensive towels for polishing wheels as they get ruined rather quickly.


@ least we know it isn't a Magnum...

LOL I figured it wouldn't be needed with the small lips


Oh and I just bought another GTO. Guess what wheels are going on it!

[thedak]

I figured it wouldn't be needed with the small lips


Too Funny, LOL



I have no clue what these towels are called.

It is even more fine than a microfiber.

I will take a picture of it.

I got them from JorgensGarage.com

[Trents_goat5.7]

They look awesome. And I bet that mustang is a blast to drive.

[asaberan]

I heard these work well for polishing CCW's:

Adams says that the new metal polish is a combo of their old #1 and #2. Not sure how that works but thats what I was told earlier.

[Siver Bullet]

Adams #2 Polish is the best stuff hands down.

but they don't make it anymore and I ran out...

If its so good why did they stop making it?

Nice wheels and brakes :)

[thedak]

I am sure it was cost related.

[05'GOAT!]

damn, so clean! your car is what i wish mine looked like. :( major props friend.

[LS-WON]

Thats garage is the shit!!! Can't see the rest of it but it looks like an awesome setup! Ride looks sweet too...
