Good stuff A.j., I was gonna wash my truck this morning. woke up at 6 and say screw it (cold and tired) lol. will be washing this evening.

nice job AJ

I've got my suspension so well setup on my G8 now; that I drive between the rain drops, keeping all water off my vehicle...

That being said, it sits still outside at work across from a concrete plant. If I showed you what it looked like now you'd probably pass out! lol

Good post AJ! (as usual)

Hey, So I'm wondering, why layer the protection?

Hey, So I'm wondering, why layer the protection?

The reason I layer those two products is for "more protection". For me, it has absolutely nothing to do with how it looks because my paint looks beautiful without a drop of wax on it. Wax protects the paint and that's why I use it. MSW and Americana are the two, longest lasting waxes that Adam's has.

Hey!

Great to know, but keeping that in mind, is there anything that I'm missing by just applying americana? (granted, I don't know if i could just *not* drive my car for that sort of time, lol )

Not at all. Americana is a fine product to use to protect your paint. It goes on quick and comes off quick. To me, keeping it simple is the best advice that I could give a novice about waxing.

GREAT! Just making sure I'm doing it right!

What about the Brilliant Glaze, where would you use that? I have etching in my paint and it seem that after the polishing they are still there. So I thought that BG would help cover it up a little. I was thinking MSW, BG and Americana. Would that work too?

IMO paint should be perfect before sealing it. BG hides minor issues, but is incapable of hiding major ones like etching. I hammer out etching with a rotary followed by the PC. Then I do the MSW, BG, Americana trifecta!

You can apply that protection in that order but I am not sure how effective BG is going to be on etching. I don't cover up anything so I'm not a good source to speak for BG. I'll do whatever necessary to get rid of some damage before I cover it up. That may require much more aggressive measures.

I'm new to this so I'm not confident on using a rotary, what could I use for now to diminish the etching?

You should have a healthy fer of a rotary. Nothing wrong with that. As for the etching, there's no telling what it will take to get rid of it. I couldn't say without seeing it in person. About the most aggressive thing that I would suggest to you is a green pad and Severe Swirl Remover. You will either remove the damage over time or at least diminish it over time.

Thanks Junkman, I wish I was closer, It's a long drive to KY from MA... I have the green pad a SSR so I will try it with that and slow down with the PC, I was moving too fast. Your video have help a bunch. If you ever do a clinic near New England let us know, I will be there with your preferred food!!!

Great video. After watching this I had a question about washing you car on road trips. Several times during the summer I take may car overnight to a weekend car show or a family event and only have access to a public self serve car wash. What tips, methods, products products do you recommend for these situations? In the Midwest I always fight bug guts on the front of the car that I don't want sit on there for a couple of days and or I may be prepping for a showing after driving one or two hundred miles. Thanks for your input.
