Adam's Machine Super Wax for Wheel Protection

Today was my first detail following my initial Adamization and I just had to post my impressions of MSW for wheel protection. I had 2 weeks of daily driving road grime and brake dust on my wheels (as many of you know, the Brembos on the SS dust like crazy). The dirt came off easier today than any of my other washes, here are some pics:

Mircofiber, but is was really easy to remove the dirt, much easier than when I had a different (z) sealant on the wheels.

Have you tried Adam's wheel brush? That thing works awesome, bristles get where microfiber can't.

Well yeah, it's too small for the body panels, that's what the fender brush is for!

I use a microfiber wash pad for my wheels, one that is only used for the wheels. How soft is the Boar's Hair Brush? I thought it would be safer to use microfiber than a brush since our wheels are clear coated.

Damn dude, do you have any pad left, my Brembo's don't dust that much.

Tip, after washing your car/wheels back up in your driveway so your rotors don't rust.

Nice job
