First batch ever of Adams - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've heard a lot of great things on here about Adams product figured I'd give them a try on my new vert here's what I ordered: Adams fine machine polish and Machine super sealant combo 2. In and out spray 3 super vet trim and tire combo 3. Glass cleaner and sealant combo 4.Americana carnuba wax
I was wondering if I can use the Americana after applying the the super sealant combo for that extra shine and silky wet feel on the paint would that be ok to use together?

If youd have paid a few extra bucks you couldve gotten a tub of Pinnacle Souveran and you wouldnt need to do any prep outside of a good wash job. Souverans all I use on my bikes and cars and its well worth the $95.

Yes you can use Americana after the super sealant.

pinnacle is great stuff, i have their souveran liquid wax and its the best wax ive used to date. after the paint correction im doing now, im going to use the americana and see how it stacks up to it.

Thanks for the replies can't wait to try it out

americana is awesome and i LOVE it, but just so you know its not as slick feeling as the MSW. its adds a lot of depth to the paint and is still slippery but not as slippery as the synthetic sealant. this is true of all carnauba waxes.

Make sure not to put anything on the super sealant until it has cured for at least 24 hrs

Good to know thanks for that info, ive already waxed the car before with zymol carnuba, do you think that will affect the curing of the sealant

Adam's Polishes · 08-15-2011, 04:56 PM

Curing, no. But it will hamper the product from sticking around like its designed. Sealants (in this case and most others) should always be applied to bare paint. Stripping the paint first with a dawn wash or other methods will make sure you've got 'naked' paint which will allow the MSS to bond properly and perform as designed.

Thanks Dylan is it ok to do a dawn wash? Someone told me it would strip the paint of it's oils

Adam's Polishes · 08-15-2011, 07:15 PM

Yes. Dawn will remove the wax from the finish... not sure what they meant by 'oils'... paint isn't like your skin where its losing moisture or something. Dawn is perfectly safe, just don't want to use it for regular washing as it does strip the wax, thus undoing your hard work. You'll only use it when you want to strip the finish down to start from the beginning. The rest of the time you'll stick to a pH neutral car soap.
