I use Adams 2 step polish on my CCWs. The blue polish (#1) is more coarse and really doesn't have to be used too often, unless you have quite a bit of oxidation on them. The pink polish (#2) is all you really need once the wheels are looking good and you are just trying to maintain.

After you polish the wheels with the pink polish, they really start to look like chrome. It really is incredible how much of a difference it makes...after you polish with the blue, its like "How could they look any better?" Then you go over them with the pink and it really is that much better!

Sweet! I need some polish for my SP500's - I think I'll try the Adam's two step like you described!

Hi Steve -

Cajundude has a sale going until the end of Feb. that will get you free shipping -

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1613676

The Adams main web site also offers a discount - enter discount code "corvetteforum".

Here is a link to a page I posted a few weeks ago while I was polishing up my 505A's....they came out better than I ever expected with much less effort than I anticipated.....

Thanks! Are you lowered in the rear on stock bolts only or have you cut bushings/used longer bolts? I'm lowered on stock bolts, haven't cut any bushings and I'm not nearly that low.

Your car looks great!!
