Detail Spray and American Wax?

rmkhauler · 07-25-2010, 10:13 AM

I keep reading that using Detail Spray with Americana Wax can cause clouding. Does this issue only arise when using the Detail Spray to remove the wax? I have been a user of Zaino products until a few weeks ago, and after I initially applied the wax to my truck I would use detail spray after every wash. Should I be doing the same thing now that I'm using Americana? Thanks

I never had any clouding on my old charger with americana and Detail Spray.

I think that was more of an issue of priming the appicator pad with Detail Spray while applying Americana.

I put a coat of Americana on about 5 weeks ago and I have washed it probably a half dozen times since then. I always use Detail Spray when drying and have not seen any clouding issues.

I don't know I haven't had any clouding either! My cars all have Americana

applied and I always Detail Spray before I dry them off, always!

Clouding will only happen if you're priming the pad with Detail Spray or maybe if using it for removal... otherwise theres not a need to be concerned.
