I have been using Adam's products for 4 years so I'm pretty familiar with the processes. I have a black vehicle that I have been trying to wax lately. The first few attempts last one wash and were gone. However I did the application on a cool humid day, so thought that was my problem.
Fast forward, I got a day off that was 75 and much less humid. Decided to strip wash (I used Dawn, and always have an never had issues). Got a really nice coat of wax with some good gloss and slickness. Washed it a few days later and topped off with H20 G&G. Washed a week later and didn't seem to have any sort of beading and the wax seems to be gone.
I have a brand new tub of Americana with a brand new applicator and Double Soft towels. I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I use the car shampoo through a foam gun and a bucket with Adams wash mit.
The only thing I can even think of is the hard water is causing me issues. I use a good sized power washer that we use for the farm, and use a little heat with it. Could it be something along those lines? I'm just getting frustrated of going to the work and not lasting long at all.
