First Time Americana

[TR6speed]

Ok, I washed and clayed the car. I then applied Swirl & Haze Remover with my pc at setting of 5, followed by applying Fine Machine Polish over the SHR with the pc set at 6. Next I applied a coat on FMP again over the first applications of SHR & FMP again with the pc set back to 5. I am now ready to remove the polish and I will that apply a coat or two of the Americana Wax. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

This will be the first time I have used it. My question is (and it is two part), should I apply a coat of the Super Machine Wax first. Next part, is it best to do a section of the car at a time with the Americana, or can it be applied to the entire car before it is removed.<o:p></o:p>

Entire car then removed. Put it on like paint. straight back and forth. No swirling it needed. For longer life I would put a coat of MSW on buff it off wait 24 hours buff it again, and then put on a coat or more of the Americana.

 

MSW lasts longer but doesn't offer the depth that the carnuba does.

The MSW, followed on by the Americana, is a winner. I did my car and now it's on to the wife's SUV before winter really gets here. You do have to give that MSW a day to cure up though...that's a truth.

I always do two sections then wipe it off. I don't want to take the risk of it drying and being near impossible to remove.
