Adam's metal polish (#1 & #2) is absolutely fantastic stuff!

This is what my polished stainless steel exhaust tips looked like after a New England winter.




This is my polished aluminum grille. A little hard to see in the picture, but it looks like crap.



Had a little time today so decided to clean them up. I used Adam's #1 with 00 steel wool followed by Adam's #2 with 00 steel wool, then one final touch up with #2 using a cotton cloth.





Here is the grille. I only used the #2 with 00 steel wool on this. That's all it needed. Well, a little finish 2001 later.

Adam's Polish products are top-notch! I've been using them for about 5-years now. Just finished doing a four-step process on both the Mustang and the Avalon. Wow - I'd forgotten how nice they can look!

Nice example you posted there - you ought to send those pictures to Adam's to see if they want to use them...

No powerball, just manual labor.

PowerBall is a big part of my retirement plan, though.

Yup, I have a large stash of Adam's products. Started using them on my last truck. The Butter Wax is the easiest shine I have ever been able to get. I buy and use the detail spray by the gallon. Great stuff.

Adam and I still talk regularly. He was up here last weekend for a couple of hours, but we missed each other this time. He's doing great. Married and expecting his first little one shortly.

Oh yeah Adams is #1!

Greg do you still have some product laying around? I'm going to need some more detail spray before the end of the summer I think.

Adams stuff is top notch there is nothing better. I have been using his stuff since he started his bussiness. That reminds me I got to make a new order.

Man, you need to put in a good word for me...need tons of detailing stuff. Like a "MUD B GONE" spray....

I was so upset when I finished the pink detailing spray I bought from you at the Les Schwab show out in Enumclaw back in 2004....

Bring it on! But just know that I work kinda slow. Might take me a couple of years to get it 'just right'!

No need to explain, Tom. I think everyone here already knew you were a little slow.
