Team Adam's Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 What products in particular are you concerned with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamaroSS27 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 I am concerned with waxes/sealants. For example I go SSR>SHR>FMP>MSW>Americana. Is this a good method? Do I need a sealant or do one of those act as it? And Buttery wax, brilliant glaze, do I need these? Would they help any? Basically looking for a good break down of the waxes. If there is a stickie please let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR6speed Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 The Machine Super Wax is a sealent if I remember correctly. So your process is correct as long as you wait 12 hours between the MSW and the Americana. I would not worry about the Buttery Wax seeing you used the MSW and the Americana. The Buttery wax as actually the first wax offered by Adam. The Brilliant Glaze is used to add that extra pop between waxings and also a lot of us us it prior to the Americana. Also if your vehicle sees a lot of out doors and exposed to the elements you want to use the MSW as it will last longer then the Americana.

Team Adam's Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Heres a rough breakdown of a process: Strip Wash Clay Rewash Dry SSR / Green Pad (as needed) SHR / Orange Pad (as needed) FMP / White Pad MSS / Gray Pad Brilliant Glaze (optional) Americana Paste or Buttery Steps 8, 9, & 10 would be considered "choices". You can do all of them or any combination of them you'd like, but the order must remain the same. The only one of them not used by itself is Brilliant Glaze as it doesn't provide protection. So for example you can do MSS followed by Americana or Buttery, or Glaze topped w/ Americana or Buttery. Just don't rearrange the order and you're fine.

Nice Dylan.... except I would put Brilliant Glaze as a "necessity" rather than an option. The stuff is absolutely amazing and is, IMHO, the epitome of "the" finishing touch.

Team Adam's Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Ok thanks so much, one more question, my product says machine superwax, did the name just get changed to Machine super sealant? Yep... when it was first released years ago we named it 'superwax' b/c not many people would have understood what a 'sealant' was and would have not adopted the product. In a nutshell sealants and waxes do the same thing - protect the paint, just in different ways. Since detailing as a hobby has exploded so much in recent years and the understanding or product terminology has gotten much better for the masses we felt it was time to rename the product as what it technically is (a synthetic sealant) Other than the label, what you have there is the same as whats selling currently.
