I have used them all. Most recently Adams products...(almost all of them) I did not like the Machine Super Wax all that much. The other products - Green Swirl, Orange Swirl, White Fine Polish are awesome!! I tried a new combo this weekend and it blew me away. I had a few swirls so I used the Orange, White, then Meguires Gold Class hand paste, then the ultimate shine Adams Glaze...MAN I WAS FLOORED!!! The black was so deep and glossy after the glaze...I may have to use the glaze between waxes. Came off super easy too. I will say I have not tried the Adams Americana or Buttery wax...maybe Adam's will see how much I have spent and send me some free wax to try out

Machine Superwax has to be applied in a specific way and allowed to cure. If not, your results will be less than stellar. It's a two day event with the cure time as is most sealants, and offers the longest amount of protection.

I have watched all the vids, but maybe I missed something. Give me your opinion on the best process for a black car.

btw...I bought the Junkman kit and some...you have been a great help to me and my car

Junk - Adams...Do you have a product you can use on Hot Rod Flat Black? My hood, roof and trunk lid are flat black and I was told not to use wax on it. I got a little glaze on the edge and it wiped right off no problems. I hate to leave it unprotected, but I don't want to change the look either. Sorry camera phone. Believe me its like glass, no swirls... Thanks to Adams and the Junkman

Adams, Zaino, Sonax.

It's not necessarily the product, it's how you use it also.

Adams and some Zaino...side note: cannot say enough about the brushes from Adams..seem high but have found them worth every cent...the hex applicators are great with the S Vrt and wax...

Thought I saw Junkman at Korger???

I use Adams products. They work great. Most importantly, they support this site and are always available to answer your questions.
