Americana Question

[Brad519]

This has probably been asked and answered so I apologize for yet another APW question.

I applied FMP, RP, & SMW back in early July. Since then I have used BSG and recently applied a coat of BW.

I ordered some APW this weekend and when I get ready to apply it is it going to be ok to just go over what is already on the paint or should I strip it and start over?

I'm sure it will be ok to go over but I guess I'm wondering if I would get better results by stripping then going FMP, Revive (extra pop) and APW.

It's a black Chevy truck...well I guess you would have seen that in the sig.

Thanks for any and all advice.

 

It's kinda funny cause just a few short months ago I used turtle wax car wash, walmart microfibers, Meguiars Detail Spray and Wax and thought I had a shiny truck. Adams Rocks

I think that I would go ahead and give it a coat of American. Next time if you use FMP you won't need Revive. Revive is more of a hand polish and FMP is a machine polish.

If your paint starts to look cloudy its time to strip and start over.

I added the Revive step cause Junkman said that was his "secret step" for black paint

 

But I'll just throw some APW on it and go from there.

Thanks

On a dark colored car you may or you may not see a difference using both Revive and FMP. If you can go for it!

Fed Ex should be here Thursday. I have to work this weekend

So it will be Monday before I can add the Americana. I said I wouldn't spend that much on wax but I'm so hooked on everything else and everyone here seems to LOVE it I figured I'd go for it. I just hope the weather stays nice next week.

You won't be disappointed! I waited a while before purchasing APW, but it was a great buy and will last a long, long time (even on your big truck).

 

Oh, and don't forget to remove the paper between the pad and the wax. (ask me how I know! )

Put it on. I add a coat of BSG after too.
