Well yesterday was the big day. The UPS man finally delivered my Americana wax late in the afternoon after much anticipation. I opened that box like a little kid on Christmas morning. The first thing I checked out was the new white micro fiber towel. My first impression of the towel was that it was mint; long nap on one side and a tight nap on the other. Then it was on to the "main event"! I opened up the jar of wax, checked out the applicator, and then took a wiff. I wasn't too impressed by the smell and voiced some concern to my co-worker, fellow detail enthusiast, and overall post whore C6Bill. Bill was kind enough to share some early prototype paste wax with me and that smelled different.
I posted up something questioning the aroma too and not but 10 minutes later Steve from Adam's was on my cell. He wanted to make sure that there wasn't a "problem", from my point of view, with the wax. How many companies do you know that care that much about their products? These guys are almost as great as their products! I told him I'd check it out today and get back to him....so that's what I am doing here. Adam's 110% guarantee is safe yet again.
My original plan was to do a 3 stage polish on my car, throw down some MSW, wait a day, and then apply a layer of the Americana. I don't have time to do that today, and I couldn't wait to try the new wax, so I washed my wife's Subaru and laid down a thin layer of the Americana. At this time I have a 60 foot oak tree in the back yard exploding with pollen so the car needed a good washing.
Here's the lineup:
No, that's not cracked pepper on the roof, it's Oak pollen!
Here's what I wound up with after a good washing and a thin layer of Americana!
I was a bit skeptical about spending $70 on a tub of wax but I ordered it any way. The product is very impressive and I feel I got a good value for my hard earned $. The Subaru now has much more pop and a warmth that I don't think you can get with anything other than a good carnuba based paste wax. I'm not a big fan of the aroma of the wax but that is just a matter of personal opinion. It's not offensive or anything...I guess it's just not something I dig.
If you are on the fence about purchasing this wax I'd say hop right on it. The product works as advertised. The tub is much larger than I had expected and getting 40+ layers of wax out of this one tub seems certainly feasible to me. The new applicator is nice and convenient. I liked the fact that it has a handle like design. The new white micro fiber is very nice. It's pretty cool having a towel that has a different nap on either side. Very effective.
That's all from me. My kids are just about ready to head out to practice for their dance recital tomorrow. Time to kick the feet up, light a stogie, and have a beer or two. I am sure that it's noon time someplace. Enjoy the weekend folks and thanks for reading my post.
