Bill-V8V Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Sure, that will work fine I like the MF applicators best for BW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill-V8V Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Put a couple sprays of DS on the MF applicator to prime it then the BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 They're the same, just a different color foam... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVY Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I was going to ask this question myself tonight as I ordered a buttery wax to see what it is like but forgot to get the applicator. Already have Americana and a couple applicators for that. Looking forward to using the buttery wax to see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
694doorbird Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Several people have said that the BW delivers a wetter look than Americana. So, after a through washing, gave the Ranger a coat of BG then Buttery wax. I do like the way it looks!!! I may just save the Americana for the winter months where it lasts longer.

Chewy Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 BW has some fillers in it. That may be what you like about it. Personally, I've not touched the BW since getting MSS and Americana.

DaveVY Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 So I did a side by side comparison of the buttery and Americana waxes on the velocity yellow vette. The car was already clean and didn't need claying, applied brilliant glaze to the entire hood and applied buttery wax to one side and Americana to the other side. Then topped it off with detail spray. It was raining out so I didn't get to compare in sunlight but in artificial lights the two waxes were fairly similar but I feel the Americana looked better. The Americana definitely felt more slippery and like it will provide a better protection. I was concerned that I may have been biased knowing which side was buttery and Americana so I asked my bride her opinion. She could feel the large difference too. Americana wins!

694doorbird Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Just the opposite for me. I've been using the brilliant glaze followed by Americana. I liked the way it looked, but got no comments from my wife. This time I used brilliant glaze followed by Buttery Wax, and this time I got the comment "so shiny and silky smooth".

694doorbird Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Could be, maybe, I really don't know, I just know that this is the first time in a long time she made a comment about it being shiny clean!! She's really not a "car" person, so she could have said that just to make me feel good also:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
