Haha I was wondering if you would see this. I couldn't believe how they looked after I wiped them off.

As far as price goes it was a little over $650. Its everything in the ultimate kit minus the brushes, vacuum, and gallon refills.


Dylan, what would you recommend on billet wheels to seal them up? Would the brilliant glaze be ok?

You can glaze them for added 'gloss/shine' but glaze doesn't provide ANY protection what so ever. If you want to keep them protected, my preferred product is Machine Super Sealant applied by hand using an MF app. Just go thin and give it about 45 minutes to cure.

If you don't have MSS then go with whatever wax you'll be using on the paint.

Worked on the wheels today, hopefully all this work doesnt go to waste the first time I wash the truck.

After cleaning them off with detail spray.


After another round of #2 polish.


After the super wax/sealant.



Im not so sure these pictures do justice. The sealant really makes a difference.

+1 my dad had me hooked on Zaino when he detailed his Vette with it but I have seen nothing but amazing results with Adams on both this site and GMFS. Once it's time to get more supplies I think I will do a big order through Adams.



OP it's a night and day difference, they wheels look amazing
