Smells good looks good feels good. Sometimes can be a little tough to buff out but its better than too easy, if anything it makes me feel like it will stay put better

Well worth the money. And it lasts forever and the protection is awesome.

Thanks for your business Larz29... obviously my opinion is going to be biased so I'll let others chime in with their thoughts on Americana. Best advice I can give you on its use:
LESS IS MORE. Apply very thin coats, 2 thin coats is going to perform much better than one really heavy one. Probably the #1 mistake anyone makes when working with quality waxes is using too much. Heres a couple of shots of Americana applications as eye candy. Obviously the bulk of the 'shine' comes from a properly corrected and polished car, but a good wax takes that to another level.

Don't believe Dylan@Adams he really uses some kind of alien witchcraft stuff to make those cars look like that

You're going to love the Americana. One of the finest paste waxes I've ever used.

Just remember to get that shine you need to polish the car. Wax doesnt make a car shine it just protects it.

I hear this all the time and understand the difference between polishing and waxing, but if what you say is true then why does your car shine better when you wax it? Even with a non-abrasive/non-cleaner wax like Americana, (or whatever wax you prefer) simply waxing anything with it WILL make it shine better even if that's the only step you do. If you don't believe me go try it on your neighbor's hood. In addition to protection, wax DOES make stuff shine.
