0 THE Mook Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Dang man! Next time, between the Revive and the BG, slip in some Metal Polish #2. Careful, you may engage face melt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 J.greenroyd Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Ill give that a try! How long does the americana last on wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Americana will last a little while, but no where near as well as a sealant would. 2 things degrade wax rapidly - high heat and harsh detergents. Your wheels get hot while driving from the transferred heat of the rotors, the road, etc. A wax like Americana will start to be broken down around 160* and its not unreasonable for your wheels to get that hot on a summer day or after a long drive. Sealants like QS have higher heat resistance (north of 300*) so they hold up to the environment better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Wardo Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Truck looks real clean. How did you apply the revive? tap a talka thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 THE Mook Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Truck looks real clean. How did you apply the revive? tap a talka thingy I am guessing on a Blue Hex Grip applicator. Blue polish, Blue Hex Grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 J.greenroyd Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Ok thanks ill do Quick Sealant next time, Yes i used the Blue Hex Grip Applicator. By the way i absolutely love the smell of revive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wardo Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I am guessing on a Blue Hex Grip applicator. Blue polish, Blue Hex Grip. Will using the flex and white pad, revive give any cutting benefits? Wife's truck had a full correction near 6 months ago. It was 100% perfect expect wet sanding some areas. I can see minor spider scratch marks coming back. I've never use revive. tap a talka thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Revive is more paint cleanser than polish... if you have anything that needs correcting I'd go FMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wardo Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Revive is more paint cleanser than polish... if you have anything that needs correcting I'd go FMP. This is what I thought. It's probably not needed but I will hit the revive after some fmp. I have to use it for something, ha ha. That bubblegum smell makes my mouth water. tap a talka thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 LFairbanks Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Americana will last a little while, but no where near as well as a sealant would. 2 things degrade wax rapidly - high heat and harsh detergents. Your wheels get hot while driving from the transferred heat of the rotors, the road, etc. A wax like Americana will start to be broken down around 160* and its not unreasonable for your wheels to get that hot on a summer day or after a long drive. Sealants like QS have higher heat resistance (north of 300*) so they hold up to the environment better. So if this is the case, how well does Americana hold up on a dark colored vehicle such as black, in the summertime? Or even in a locale that can get extremely hot in the summer like Arizona for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
