Which Adam's Polish? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm on the Adam's site, ready to pull the trigger and get the Buttery Wax that I heard so much about. I then run across Adam's Americana Paste Wax. I go to the chat section and ask the agent, and they recommended the Americana. That is 65 bucks! I don't mind paying for it, if it is really good. I've been using NXT, and Z-2 Zaino. Any thoughts between the two Adam's products?

I assume you are not using a PC to wax. The Americana is a great wax, I use it on top of the Adams Machine Super Wax when I want to put a coat on by hand quickly. It has a great shine a definitely repells water like nothing else that I have ever used. I bought it in my initial kit because it was included and the kit price was pretty good. If I had to pay 70.00 I would maybe think twice. I guess it depends on a lot of factors.

I have ALL of Adams products. Stick to the buttery wax. It's super easy to apply, it gives you car awesome protection, and it is AFFORDABLE! Don't listen to all the mumbo jumbo on shine. If you want your car to shine, buy a PC7424xp and correct the paint. Wax PROTECTS, it does NOT make your car shine.

I have both. The americana will last longer than regular carnuaba's according to adam because its mixed with synthetic polymers. I love the Americana, its easy on, easy off (as long as you dont let it haze). The americana is supposed to last longer than the buttery wax. I usually use my PC for a coat of buttery wax, then hand apply a coat of americana over it. Not to mention the Americana jar will literally last you for years and years, I've done 10-15 coats of Americana on various vehicles and it doesnt even look like I've used any.

Products that have to be removed in a certain amount of time are a pain in the ass.
