BSG & Americana

[gymrat7953]

I've read that BSG goes on after Americana has been on awhile to freshen it up; before it's time for a new coat of Americana. So if you don't need to clay and or polish ; then in fact you're putting Americana over BSG? If you don't need to clay or polish do you strip the existing wax or wax over it? If you put down a coat of Americana - then BSG - will this lessen the life span of Americana and beading?

 

Other threads say to put a coat of Americana and immediately follow it up with BSG.

What's the correct proceedure?

Thanks,

If I understand you it won't hurt a thing. Most people including me apply BSG over :patriot:Americana. However some apply BSG then Americana. They claim that the BSG covers imperfections. Hope this helps!

does BSG over Americana lessen or enhance the wax's durability & shine?

I'm old school and I like seeing beads the size of bb's fly off my hood in a rain storm. LOL - I'm easily amused.

I did a quick detail yesterday- it was too freaken cold - I lasted 2 hours before I came inside.I'll take some pictures and post.

I have a garage but my 4 married children have it somewhat occupied with their stuff... and I need a heater... any portable heater recommendations?

I have a wall hung vent less natural gas. Works great!

You are going to have to tell the kids that the garage is for the cars.

Absolutely enhance! I've found it makes your finish shine like glass, especially on darker cars.

I use it after.
