Just a few quick thoughs on some Adam's stuff that I tried today.

This is just a few quick thoughts on some Adam's stuff that I tried for the first time today.

Waterless Wash- This stuff looks awesome. Blue is my favorite color so I might be a little biased. The smell is very pleasing. Nothing that is overkill, but very pleasant. Kool-Aid comes to my mind when I smell it. I am going to write a comparison with some other waterless washes soon so I don't want to release too much info. I will just say, that I will more than likely be getting a gallon of this in the near future.

Waterless Wash Towels-Very nice. I've never seen a towel like this before. Very soft and a lot easier to use than a full size WW towel.

Americana Carnuba Paste Wax- This wax was subpar to my likings. It was super hard to use and a pain to remove.......








GOTCHA. Just Kidding. Americana is a very nice paste wax. I have bought a ton of waxes over the past 3 years. Ranging from $20 all the way up to $255. Americana would be in my top 5 along with Dodo Juice waxes, Swissvax Endurance, Blackfire Midnight Sun, and Pinnacle Signature Series II. They are in no specific order because each one has a specific job or position to fill for me. This wax is very nice. It is easy on and very easy off. The pot will last forever. It spreads further than most waxes that I have used. The looks are fantastic. Whenever it decides to stop raining I will post pictures. When I run out of this pot, I will definitely buy another one.

Next to try on my list is the APC, VRT, and a few other goodies.

You won't be disappointed especially the VRT.

I have no doubt. I tried the original VRT and loved the looks, just didn't like the fact that it didn't last and that it slung all the way down my car. Of course that's why it was updated.

BTW. I hope that nobody does what I do. I tried to swipe the applicator over the wax paper on top of the Americana. I've never seen a wax that comes with paper over it.

LOL... we've heard this a lot... we're going to add a printed insert here soon that makes it much more obvious. Had a guy recently who wanted to return the product b/c "it doesn't work! Looks like nothing goes on the paint and my car doesn't look at all different after I applied it." Turns out he had "waxed" his whole car with a dry applicator not realizing he was rubbing the wax paper.

Its only in there to keep the applicator protected and dry during shipment.
