dconsmack Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Here's my new 2014 Dodge Challenger. I custom ordered it and made sure they didn't wash it when it came off the truck. Wash, Clay, Revive, Glaze, Buttery, Americana, VRT. I really like all the Adam's products I used; very happy! Chris@Adams, Team Adam's, jimboman and 7 others 10

0 dconsmack Posted May 27, 2014 Author Posted May 27, 2014 Looks amazing, and welcome! Â Somone correct me if I'm wrong; buttery then americana? Seems a bit much I bought the Essentials Kit, which included the Buttery. I ordered the Americana a couple of days later and applied it the day after I did my first detail. I'll likely skip the Buttery next time I wax.
0 rwisejr Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Sweet !!!! Congrats on the hot ride !! Best of luck with it. Enjoy. dconsmack 1

Either way, that black is uber wet looking. Great looking ride dconsmack 1
0 Gen9Rolla Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 The more Challengers I see, the more I want one. Yours looks amazing! dconsmack 1

0 Numbr3t Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 From what I understand as far as longevity goes would be the sealant then American then buttery. So you'd want buttery to over the Americana. Team Adam's and dconsmack 2
0 Chris@Adams Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 1. LPS 2.QS 3.Americana 4.Buttery If you are using Americana you won't need Buttery. Team Adam's and dconsmack 2
0 dconsmack Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 1. LPS 2.QS 3.Americana 4.Buttery If you are using Americana you won't need Buttery. Thanks! It was already starting to get hot here in Vegas and I wanted to get wax on the car ASAP. After I did the Buttery layer, the Americana and Liquid Paint Sealant came in the mail. In a month or so, I plan to strip the current wax with Dawn, then, clay, spot Correcting and Finishing Polish with the Cyclo (there were a couple of minor scratches from the factory), Liquid Paint Sealant, Revive, Glaze, then Americana. Sealant on the clear coated wheels too. Any other advice is welcomed. Thanks!
0 Numbr3t Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 You are really going to love that combo which is known as the "face melter". Be sure to post up pics afterwards. Are you familiar with the bag test for clay? dconsmack 1

0 Gen9Rolla Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Nope. What's the bag test? Put your hand in a plastic sandwich bag and run your hand over the paint. The bag acts as an amplifier so you can feel the contaminants on the paint that you can't feel with your bare hands alone. When doing the baggie test, if you feel contaminants on the paint then you should clay it. If you don't feel anything on the paint then you don't need to clay the car dconsmack 1
0 Numbr3t Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) A good way to test if you need to clay is with a plastic bag like a sandwich bag. Put your hand inside and on a clean paint surface of your car lightly rub your fingers on it. You will feel all the contamination on the paint which the clay bar removes. Take your time, use plenty of clay lube and work in a # pattern to make sure you cover the whole surface. You don't want to miss a spot and have to do it again!
