Aloha gang, I need some advice on some good products to use on my vette. After looking at some of the vendors sites, it seems that there is some learning curve involved in picking the right product(s). It's just not as simple as a good car soap & wax anymore.....

I have been using waterless car wash on my cars for some time now, and I'm quite pleased with the results. I ALWAYS wash my car(s) first, dry them, then apply the waterless carwash as a wax & polish. I like the finish, and the ease of application with the spray applicator. I'm soon to run out of the wash, and wish to find an equal or superior product that applies similarly.

Also, I have a set of GFG 3pc. Chromes that I like to keep polished, but doing it by hand is a real P.I.T.A. I've seen Mothers "Power Ball" polishers, Wool *****, and the fabric types, like the ones that come with the exhaust tip polishing kits.

Here are the rims, what polish, tool(s), and methods would work best?




I enjoy polishing my car, and it is ALWAYS spotless. The only thing my car lacks is the polishing part of my rims. I do them every other month as it takes forever to get done, and I really don't get into all the nooks & crannies as it is too much work.

So in summary, I'd like a good spray on, polish off wax that works, and a better, more efficient method of polishing my chromes....

Any advice & links would be greatly appreciated.

Keith

We are more than willing to help, and thank you all for the referrals.

For chrome wheels, I would suggest a couple options.

1. Clean wheels with a safe wheel cleaner like P21S Gel or Griots Chrome Wheel Cleaner.
2. Polish them with a Mothers Powerball Mini or Powercone and a chrome specific metal polish (I often suggest a competitors product called English Custom --shhh dont tell), or our Blue Job Chrome Polish.
3. I then suggest sealing them with Poorboys Wheel Sealant or DP Wheel Glaze

you will then only need water/soap to clean the wheels properly for next several weeks. If wheels still in nice shape, use the spray, and reseal. Polishing will likely only be needed every 3-4 months depending on wheel/cars use.

OK, done. Set me up with a great spray on (waterless type) of car polish, whatever applicators (towels/buffers), a couple of nice sponges, and some of your chrome wheel stuff.

Send your request for $ to risingson@hawaii.rr.com.

Thanks,
