Chris@Adams Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 With all this layering of waxes and sealant I have to wonder what we are truely gaining? Those who have done this are your truely seeing significant results or more thinking so to justify our labours? Yes, especially on dark colored cars!

JJPlace1 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I am so glad I had already been told this before I put on the Americana ! I did go one section at a time and it worked perfectly .You guys Rock !! I l♥ve buttery waxI'm also starting to really like americana. The 1st time I put (americana) it on approx. 1 year ago I did the whole vette and let it dry like conventional wax. BIG mistake... I almost couldn't hand buff it out which turned me off on americana wax. Last Sunday I applied it on one section at a time...let it sit for approx. 5 minutes then applied it to another section and went back and buffed out the previous. I kept up this routine until the entire vette was lightly waxed with americana. This time it was a real pleasure It is great stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texn884 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Sometimes things are learned the hard way, the main thing is your learned your lesson. One section at a time. Sometimes you have to go slow to go fast. Because Race Car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug123 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 OK , Here is a picture I took after a thin coat of Americana over the Buttery wax. I am VERY impressed with the results ! Wow! Looks great! Buttery got me hooked on Adams. Still use it in the summer (black paint) in direct sun, NO problems and looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJPlace1 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Looks GREAT Jeff :thumbsup: Thank you ! I will post more pics later but its the drivers door on my 010 Red Camaro in the pic . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texn884 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I think I want to put a coat of Americana all over my body, so I shine even more. It makes my Panther Black Matellic Holden shine like the sun. Then Brilliant Glaze and oh my the Black Rat looks soooooooooooooooooooooo GRRRR8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8rvette Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 It all depends of what products you layer and how many layers, you do run the risk of clouding up the finish if you get carried away. For me 1 coat of glaze and 1 coat of wax gets me the results I am after :iagree:Just as with applying product, less is best.....so it is with layering. Too many layers (and too soon) may well lead to clouding. I M O ...The initial layer of Americana over Buttery is okay. Its the next week or so of adding another layer, then another where you risk clouding rather than good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 My favorite combo is either Buttery Wax and BSG or Americana and BSG. Can't go wrong with either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redvenm Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 You sure can, go for it. Keep the coats thin and don't let it sit to long before you wipe off. Have fun and post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
