Superdutytd Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 If I did I would have just posted it :lol: I totally agree buttery wax is great. It's more about how well you've prepped and polished your paint anyways. The Americana is just awesome because it also holds up pretty well.

rwisejr Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I noticed today that holes are forming in mine like it is slowly disintegrating, it's only the second time I've used it Same here 3 rd time using It yesterday and all i saw was little particiles of the red foam all in the wax. The applicator had seriously desintergrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman2008 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Are you are scrubbing the applicator pad across the car when applying the wax? Contact Ashley and she will send you a new applicator pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwisejr Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Are you are scrubbing the applicator pad across the car when applying the wax? Contact Ashley and she will send you a new applicator pad. No !!! Just light spin in the container and light swipes across the paint . It was fine when I put it back in the container . When I went to use it on my friends M5 yesterday there were little red foam particiles in the container. I already emailed about it .

Sundog Detailing Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I find this applicator problem strange, I've used mine 23 times now and it's still in perfect condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdutytd Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I wonder if anyone is running these applicators over rough body lines or waxing un-clay barred paints and that is ripping these applicators up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwisejr Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Well on my end thats a no on both counts . As it is desintergrating and not ripped . The first car is my wifes Pacifica which after claying and light polish was given 2 coats. When I went to use it on my friends freshly clayed and polished M5 when I opened the jar a lifted out the applicator I saw all of there red particles.

Baron_Von_Awesome Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Usually foam applicators disintegrate because whatever product they're applying contains a petroleum in one form or another (in the case of wax, petroleum is used to help with spreading. In higher end waxes, the petroleum is replaced with fruit oils or sugars). After using the applicator once, rinse it thoroughly with APC/GWC and store it outside of the wax container.

Stingray Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I believe the problem with removing the Americana wax was either due to the paint being hot, or not letting the was dry to a haze. I have used Buttery Wax for a long time, and it is very easy to remove. I have done a number of cars with the American Paste Wax and have found it as easy to remove as Buttery. You do have to let it dry to a haze, then remove it. I do two thin coats removing the wax each time after letting it dry, and find it easy to remove. Again, give it 20 - 30 minutes to dry before removing. Also, I do not recommend putting it on a hot car, even though it would not damage anything. My reason is more for ease of use. Again the results are amazing. My black Corvette has a real depth to the color as well as a Nassau Blue car I have used it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuff Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I have to agree with Stingray because we just did my buddies Cobra and after claying and polishing I put the Americana on real thin over the whole car. After letting it dry for about 20 minutes, he wiped off one side and I wiped off the other. I asked him if he thought it was hard to get off and he said it was easy. I have followed a lot of tips that are given on this forum and they sure work. I especially love the hand in the plastic baggie tip. I still can't believe the difference over a bare hand on the paint. My buddy couldn't believe the paint on the Cobra with his hand in a baggie. Thanks again to all of the experts on this forum and of course all of the Adams Products because my cars have never looked better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6spdg37s Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 my opinion on the americana paste wax is that if it ever stops raining in the tri-state area i will be able to do something more than stare at a 70 dollar container of wax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryC Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) We're on our third consecutive 80+ sunny day up here Again, give it 20 - 30 minutes to dry before removing. You're talking about Buttery Wax here, right? If you leave Americana on the car that long, regardless of how hot or cold it is, you're gonna have an adventure removing the residue Edited July 1, 2009 by GerryC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
