Can't Wait For My Americana!

It wouldn't be bad to put Americana on a Japanese or German ride, would it? Maybe the truck will just have to get it then

Looking forward to it!

Nick

Re: Can't Wait For My Americana!

like most Adams products, they are a bit over-priced, but hopefully this is good to justify the cost. let us now how it is...

Re: Can't Wait For My Americana!

How is a 70 dollar paste wax that includes an applicator and polishing towel overpriced? Give me a break.

Re: Can't Wait For My Americana!

The way I see it, my paste of choice right now is Pinnacle Souveran at $95 a pop, and doesn't include a cool applicator and nice towel. So the way I see it, I saved $25 plus the discount code, and if it's better (ease of use, overall results), more saved down the line.

Re: Can't Wait For My Americana!

Had to dodge in and out of weather in order to try it out, but finally did.

The cool news is that on the GS, the doors are huge with really no break line, so I tried to do the entire door without breaking it up. Good news, I was able to! Americana is certainly a lot less finicky than P21S Concours, and I say it glides on about the same as Souveran. It certainly is not as oily, and that is really aparant when taking it off.

The smell of Americana is absolutely intoxicating...awesome scent. My nose was in the container at every swipe.

It ended up sprinkling lightly that night, and the beading pattern was tighter than that of Souveran. Not quite sure if that means a whole lot, but I figured the question would be asked sometime soon.

The applicator worked very well. It actually stores in the container (didn't get a picture of it). The white towel that came with it was awesome! The two sides make well to remove with one side, then a final spray down on the other.

I can certainly see this as being a substitute for Souveran. Lower price, stellar results, ease of use.
