That would be because its jam packed with oils and fillers to try and hide swirl marks. The same oils and fillers that will wash away the next time you get it wet and leave your finish looking like it did before you started.

DO IT!! Best money I spent on my SSS when I still had it

Thats really weird... did you guys ban me for being too cool? Only thing I can think of is I updated my email contact info, but I reregisterd via the link that was sent so I thought it should be all good... I'll go back and try it again, maybe that'll clear it up.

Looks beautiful man... Americana wax is phenomenal on black for sure. Glad theres so many happy Adams users here, as far as the price goes if anyone wants to order anything shoot me a PM, I still have discount codes good for some money off your order.

TBSS wheels are a 6 lug but @ 5". I believe the 1500s are 6 @5.5" so, no, they won't fit and its a real PITA finding nice wheel options for the TBSS b/c hardly any wheels are produced in that pattern.

Thats weird, I wonder why the PM didn't come thru?? Anyways, I'm here to help... if you're looking to get setup I can get you a decent price on Adams stuff using my discount... you'll have a PM shortly

Really don't see how that'd be possible... the spokes come right out to the edge of the rim... there is no lip or edge to speak of.

I still have the best sig on this site

Kobe = best closer in the game... until Lebron gets that same 'killer instinct' he'll just be GOOD... not GREAT.

I have that effect on people... but if he thought the stock wheels had a lip on them in the first place maybe its better he didn't stick around. I can't count how many times people have posted in threads about my truck on other forums that it would've looked better if I had "left the lip silver" People get so blinded by trends that they don't even realize when they say something like that its not even possible. All they know is they've seen wheels with a polished lip and black centers a million times and thats whats popular. The thought never even enters their head that a wheel can be all black, or that a black wheel might not have a lip.

Buttery is not going to be your best choice for durability. Its a great looking wax, but durability is not its strong suite. If you want something durable go with the Machine Superwax via PC and a gray pad or bite the bullet and go with Americana. 2 thin coats of Americana Paste will outlast any sealant on the market IMO. If you don't want to spend the money on Americana another option is to go with a base coat of Machine Superwax and then top that with a coat or 2 of Buttery. That'll give you great protection and appearance, but obviously requires 2 products and a little more time. Before you order shoot me a PM, I still have a discount code or 2 that'll help get you some money off your purchase Americana Paste over a base coat of Machine Superwax:

nice... that'd definitely be a cool place to work.

man what I wouldn't give for that car.

Um... I call dibs on the passenger seat dude. When I finish your Camaro this weekend you gotta take me out to see this thing in progress...

Jenna... I hate you... and love you at the same time... I'm so conflicted!! Trade? your blower for a complete detail??

Great watch... have 2 of the same model in different colors. Bump for a great deal IMO.

Care to retract your prediction and issue an apology Lakers played terrible tonight, Magic played pretty good... Lakers still won. Its a shame they gotta play all 4 games in order to give the Lakers the trophy b/c the series is already over IMO. FUN FACT: Phil Jackson teams are 41-0 when they win the first game of a series.

Congrats dude... thats an awesome looking car, enjoy it.

NB, HB, Anaheim, Laguna, shit... pretty much all of the OC you have to be real careful driving anything domestic and mildly customized you have to be driving a german made sedan to go unnotoiced. Just the nature of those neighborhoods... I'd still file the complaint if I were you, but its your call. You're not alone.... i've been harrassed on more than one occasion in the OC for no real reason. One time coming back from NB I was shirtless, just in my boardshorts since I had been at the beach all day... had the tats blazing, shaved head, blacked out vehicle... when they lit me up you'd have thought I was the ****ing anti-christ with the way they approached the drivers door.

Harassment is harassment... if you feel you have a genuine gripe file a complaint... if they come after you again for less that legitimate reasons you can go with it further and threaten legal action for them continuing to harass you. Thats the route I'd go.

File a complaint with their department.

That would be b/c Zaino doesn't remove imperfections, it only masks them and it never really holds up unless you are habitually applying tons of product. The only abbrasive product in their entire line is ZPC I believe... so yea... pretty much as soon as it starts to break down all the imperfections will return and your protection is gone. Like I've said before, nothing wrong with that process, just not the way I approach things. You typically don't apply sealants over the top of weaker products b/c a sealant will only last as long as the surface its bonded to. So if you apply sealant over a product that breaks down in 1 week... you're sealant will be gone in 1 week. The best way to go about it is to apply a sealant as a base then top it with your "pretty" product of choice... of course the RIGHT way to do it would be to correct the defects, polish the paint, and apply something that looks good AND offers durability (i.e. - Americana )

Depends entirely on how deep the scuffs are, its likely you could get them out or at a very minimum reduce them significantly with a porter cable. I'll PM you about the kit b/c I'm not a vendor and I don't want to disrespect the site by soliciting here. As for protection, its entirely up to you... there are a number of options: Liquid wax... typical over the counter stuff, cheap, and readily available. Not terribly durable, not terribly good with shine characteristics, but it does the trick cheap. Good example would be something like Megs Gold Class or Mothers California Gold. Better products are out there from companies like Adams, Chemical Guys, Poor Boys, etc that are better but in the end none of them are going to be the BEST at any one thing... they are all a compromise of price, performance, and appearance. Liquid blends... can be a mixture of natural waxes and synthetic polymers or just be purely synthetics. Much more durable, but tend to leave your finish looking lifeless compared to other products. Pretty much all the autozone brands have these now. Stuff like Synwax, FX, nano... yadda yadda yadda. Sealants... this is where we start to get interesting. Sealants are extremely durable fully synthetic blends of polymers and aminos that bond to the paints surface to protect it better than most "waxes" The main drawback to sealants is the lack of depth and life in the paint. They tend to be very shiney, but look "plastic" to anyone who has an eye for painted finishes. The great thing about sealants (besides the durability) is that you can reaily layer over the top of them with higher gloss/depth products to get the best of both worlds. Sealants are also excellent on wheels and lower rocker panels as they tend to see more abuse than say your hood. As far as sealants go I love Adams Machine Superwax and Optimums Optiseal. Premium carnuba waxes... these are pricey, but worth every penny if youre serious about your finish. 2-3 coats of a good high white carnuba content wax will outlast pretty much anything else out there. They also offer exceptional depth, warmth, and gloss to your finish. The good thing is it takes so little paste to effectively cover a truck that one expensive tub of product can last you a very long time. Right now I'm hooked on Adams Americana Paste Wax, but there are products like Sovereign, Natty's, etc that are all similar type products. The beauty of all of this is you can get 2 of these types of technology and layer them for the best of both worlds. Currently my TBSS is under a couple of coats of Adams Machine Superwax and topped with a couple layers of Americana Paste... super durable, super deep, and looks dripping wet Hope that helps, I know its a lot to digest... if you have questions you know where to find me

Danny is a complete douche and I'd never buy smoked TBSS tail lights off of him... OH wait... I DID buy smoke TBSS tail lights off of him Srsly Danny, **** the haters. You've always been cool to me and went the extra mile dealing with UPS during the whole busted tail in shipment debacle. Yer a cool dude in my book and hell, that should be enough right
