Theis Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Now I know everyone says to wait 12 hours before layering over it but if I have to drive before those 12 hours then what?....and do you truly have to wait 12 hours to put some buttery on top?

0 Doug123 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Yes, the MSW takes some time to cure on the finish. Once that 12 hr time period is finished, you can put the buttery on it. Even put buttery over it on the following weekend, if you like. Often I can only get the MSW on and drive it, so I will top it the following weekend (after a good wash and dry, of course). Edit: Myself, I top it with BG and then Americana for the look. Edited April 26, 2012 by Doug123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yep! I never top right away... I just wait till after the next wash. Buttery is a great wax, but really isn't needed on top of MSS unless you're using the fillers in it to hide some flaws. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ralfy Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 in the adams instructional vids i dont recall them mentioning a 12-24 hour wait period to add buttery or Americana to the macine super wax? gonna go back and watch the vids to double check but if the experts say so then i shall follow what they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Team Adam's Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I just wait till after the next wash. BINGO! you don't have to do it all in one session... apply the MSS after the initial detail. The following weekend (or next free day you have) give it a wash/dry then apply Buttery. says it on the bottle. So Adams does say it. Maybe not so much in the vids though. Correct... the videos are never intended to replace the act of reading the instructions. I know we live in a world where no one wants to read the directions, but you really should.

0 Isaacrn Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 So, If you want to put the glaze followed by americana does this mean that you need to do another waterless wash the next day? So many steps, what do people do in the field when detailing other people's cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 In a case where you don't have the time/ability to wait the 12-24 hours quick sealant would be the better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 THE Mook Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I agree with Dylan on the last question....If I were detailing for dollars, Quick Sealant and Brilliant Glaze would be my go to final steps./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 camaro Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 how long do we have to wait between brilliant glaze and americana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 XQIZT Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 As far as glaze and Americana, I don't wait at all. Apply glaze, buff off, apply Americana, buff off. Commence face melting. Remotely posted by XQIZT Automotive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Mike is correct... no need to wait. BG is ready to layer immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Corners Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 In a case where you don't have the time/ability to wait the 12-24 hours quick sealant would be the better option. So if one was to flip this situation around and use the MSS "first," wait the required amount of time, could you then put QS over it. Or can you use QS and then apply the MSS? Additionally, regardless of what you put down first and then applied second, would that give you a better shine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JunkMan often emphasizes the jobs of each of the detailing chemicals used. Sealants protect the paint. That's it. That is its job. Protect the paint. I look at it this way: Polishes: Fixes paint (smoothing out/correcting swirls etc.) Sealants: Puts a coat on the now perfect paint so that future damage won't ensue Glazes: Adds wet-look and some micro filling properties Waxes: Final step of protection and adds gloss to look Edited June 3, 2012 by camaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that but I have never, until tonight, gave any thought as to what would happen if you put one sealant down and then the other on top. And then flip that around at a later day - another detail. Curious as to what would happen is all I was asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Corners Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 You can layer sealant When you say layer sealant, do you mean putting two or more coats of the "same" sealant on? Or, getting back to my original question, can one layer two "different" sealants. Not sure what that would produce but was curious about it.
