What wax do you use?

I have most products they sell. FMP and SHR worked pretty but I expected superwax to be a wax. Once I get the Americana I will try everything again. I'm also not sold on their wash pad. I noticed more swirls from that (using 2 bucket method and all) compared to previous products. That aside their green wheel cleaner, all purpose cleaner, wash soap, undercarriage spray, great white drying towel, mf detail towels, detail spray and boars hair brush have all been excellent products. I just didn't care for the superwax and wash pad. I need to put in more work though, after coming from Zaino it's tough to really impress me. Zaino had great results and it was very easy to use. Superwax started to flake or turn into white areas randomly all over both my vehicles after a few weeks. Zaino never once gave me a problem. Both are great companies though.

 

Americana is good stuff. I have found 50/50 from Chemical Guys to be a great wax and a bit cheaper. As for the MSW, that is starnge. I have never seen that before. Did you have anything on the surface before you used? I know it say 'Superwax', but it really is a sealant and sometimes sealants don't bond to certain products. So if you used something before the MSW that could be the issue.
As for the wash pad, I have yet to see that. I use 2 grit gaurds in my 2 buckets. That wash pad holds tons of soap, but I can definately see where stuff could get stuck in the pad and cause swirls. You should email Adam with your concerns. He will take care of you and then some.

 

The GTO was washed, clayed, washed, polished with both SHR, and FMP using brand new pads, then followed with MSW. My Tacoma had it all except a clay bar so it may have had some Zaino when I started. Many things could have been a factor, I was on the MS coast and it was summer time so it was very hot and very humid. All the products worked well I think, MSW seemed to be what gave me issues. If that's the only product I end up not enjoying then so be it, I will stick with his other products for the time being. Well, except maybe the wash pads, I plan to get some new ones to test a theory with.

 

Are people using the liquid or paste versions of products like the NXT 2.0?

 

Either one will work well on your Tacoma. You will not need a lot of the product per coat. Do two coats if possible allowing about 2 hours after you wipe off the first coat to apply the second coat.

 

Zymol has worked best for me. Super clear shine when you are finished and it lasts quiet a while.

 

+1 for the Liquid Glass, Ive used it for 26 years. My wife's 88 accord which was 13 years old when we sold it looked like it was new when we sold it.

 

I am a big fan of Turtle Wax Ice. I like how it goes on clear and it has kept my truck looking good; it still looks new and is well over 2 years old. I recommend it to anyone.

 

I use all Adam`s products!! Outstanding stuff!! Once you try it you will never use any other products again!!!! http://www.adamspolishes.com/default.aspx

 

Adam's is the way, pre-pare for sal-va-tion.

 

I used all of the stuff you could buy at the auto parts stores / walmart ect, then about 5 yrs ago I tried adam`s products and , have not bought anything else since!! I bought some the the americona paste wax which is $70 for 10 oz, OUTSTANDING WAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clay bar works wonders, detailing spray is outstanding! I LOVR the metal polish/cleaner!! I run polished wheels here in Indiana and that cleaner/polisher works miricles!!! everyone that I have let use Adam`s products at shows just loves it and wants to buy it!! I`m a customer for life!!

 

You should google Caption Richard's bomb. I used to use that on Harley's at work and it is amazing. Its better than turtle wax ice. I've used it on my 08 since I bought it. Water always beads up.....its good stuff.

 

I did not know that about carnauba wax. I'm glad I saw your post.

 

Yup, my favs are the Green Wheel Cleaner, Undercarriage spray, and the metal cleaner. The stuff is unreal, I use it in the Cusinart stuff in the house (brushed nickel kinda lookin), makes it look brand new. Faucets in the kitchen and bathroom, you name it. I like the Brilliant Spray glaze before I hit the town with the wife. Oh yea!

I don't care for the glass cleaner. I mean it works, but so does the cheap stuff.
