I used Clay, Glaze and Americana yesterday. I have to say the results are
wonderful. It took 5 hours start to finish. But man am I sore today. Removing
the Americana by hand tired me out. Here are a couple of pics. Enjoy.....

Beautiful car, I'm sure the shine was worth the work

Very nice, looks great!

If you struggled with removal of Americana, next time go lighter with the application and only do 1-2 body panels at a time before you remove the residue. If you get too far ahead of yourself or go too heavy with it, you'll have a hard time removing it as you may have found.

Time to get some SVRT on those tires.

Going to look at machine removal next time. Can you buff it off? Question on the SVRT. Does it collect dust? I live in way west Texas. Lots of sand and dust in the air. More than rain. LOL I prefer the dull look over wet and shine, if it collects dirt.

You can. Just put a towel over any pad and go to town on a low speed. If you're applying the wax correctly though, it should wipe off with ease by hand. It'd be more work to get out the machine, extension cord, etc.

SVRT does not collect dust and leaves a satin finish as opposed to that disgusting shiny silicone look favored by rappers.

If you're willing to branch out of Adams land, look into Ultima Tire and Trim Guard. Lasts about 4x as long as SVRT. Or call Adam and ask him to stop dragging his feet on Black Out, which I've been testing for them and is AH-MAZINGGGGG.

Looks fantastic!

Thanks for the complements. Well worth the effort. I thought I kept a clean good looking car. But it got better with glaze and Americana.
