Congrats on the CCW SP500's ! I love my set too ! I switched from Mothers Billet paste, to Adams #1,#2 polish. I'm finding its easier to use and the wheels look fantastic ! Adams comes off very easy too.

Jon C:

Do you use these webril wipes to help reduce/remove the fine scratches, or eliminate adding more fine scratches that are already there? I have heard some other people talking about these too. Do you use them to apply the polish, and remove the polish too ?

Thanks !
