Americana wax

smokejr · 07-23-2011, 04:43 PM

I got some Adam's products and am in the process of detailing my black Z, I finished up using the Brilliant glaze and Americana wax, question is it ok to or will add more shine if I add more "coats" of Americana wax?
I here ppl say they have multiple coats of wax so was wondering if I should put on a few layers before I let the birds do some dive-bombing.

It is a carnuba wax so you can layer it to ensure uniform coverage.

You can layer it, but I wouldn't recommend anything beyond 2 or 3 coats max... beyond that there isn't any benefit to be had and in some cases you can actually start to cause clouding on the finish which would require you to strip it and start over.
