SYMAWD Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I used Americana for the first time today. I love how easy it is to apply. A little bit goes a long way and spreads easily. It buffs off easily too, but I have used other waxes that buffed off a little easier. It gave the dark metallic gray a very deep, wet look on my Routan. I'll post pics in a day or two as well as some beading shots if it rains. The only thing I didn't like is that the wax spins in the container and I personally can't stand the smell.

JBlack151 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I laid on some Americana last week on the truck. With all these thunder showers we've had the beading is outstanding. Just an awesome wax all around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performance Auto Detailing Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 The only Adam's product that I don't like the smell of.. well besides the glass sealant. The smell of Americana makes me gag. Why can't it smell like the detail spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimz808 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I personally love the smell. Reminds me of a massage spa. First time I used it I was like, "this smells familiar". And of course it would smell like a massage spa because of the wax they use. Smell makes me feel reassured that it's a high quality wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious, I don't even see how it relates to what you are referring to and lets leave it there so this thread does not get derailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwag one Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Looking good man, I put some Americana on our cars about a week ago. I left them out hoping it would rain ksell87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Glad you like the Paste! I have never heard someone NOT liking the smell! Good we are all different! I find the smell brain soothing. AmyAtAdamsAustralia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryC Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Smell of the original Americana was way better than the current IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimitedDodge Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Not sure if they have changed the smell since I bought mine a couple years ago but I find the smell to be spa like as well. Looks killer on my Mineral Grey Metallic Dodge. Makes waxing super easy and very enjoyable too. I have been fighting the urge on getting the Patriot. Knowing how awesome the Americana is makes me want to experience the Patriot. Edited July 1, 2013 by LimitedDodge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYMAWD Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Used it again today, but on the Optima. I like the wax a lot, but the smell really makes me not want to use it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYMAWD Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Don't stick the pot to your nose. Lol. The scent is pretty strong. I leave the container away from the car while using it and only go back to get more on the applicator. With other waxes, I would just carry the container around with me.

Performance Auto Detailing Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I got my Americana within the last month I believe and it has a very strong smell in my opinion. The results I get keep me coming back for it but that smell just knocks me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it was the extreme heat and humidity, but I work outside 8+ hours a day in the same conditions and always feel fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForceofWill Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 It's definitely just you two lol. It smells like citronella and I like the smell. I don't know how you could get sick from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like something must be wrong with my Americana then cause I seriously think it smells horrid! Every single other Adam's product I have smells amazing! I'll get over it eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCurse Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Absolutely just you two. I've never encountered a smell besides maybe rotting flesh that would make me feel sick. That's a little extreme don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 You two might be alone on this one, but I think I'm alone on hating the smell of the new Detail Spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Performance Auto Detailing Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I will definitely say I can handle the smell of Americana more than I can the Deep Wheel Cleaner. I forgot about that one. But I can deal with bad smells with how amazing both those products work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
