Top picture is blackfire midnight sun, bottom picture is CG Pete's 53.

If I were to rank my top favorite waxes in order it would be-

Blackfire midnight sun: because it provides a solid 8-10 weeks of protection even with my car being a DD. Great beading and sheeting. In my opinion, this wax is slightly easier to put on and take off than Americana.

Adams Americana: best durability I've gotten was 8 weeks and normally it was closer to 6. Best sheeting of the 3, but not the tightest beads that goes to BFMS.

CG Pete's 53: best value BY FAR. Nearly half the price of the other two. Slightly harder to take off than BFMS or Americana, but I have gotten 10 weeks of protection and it's still beading, the beads are getting bigger and less tight though. So it will probably on last another week.


When your paint is perfect, wax won't make any difference in how your car looks. MAYBE it adds slightly more depth because you are literally adding depth to your paint. The filling qualities of all of these waxing seems to be equal, so you should base your wax choice, now that your paint is perfect, on durability, beading, and sheeting for your pooling rinse.

Nice to know. Americana is my entry into premium waxes and boy they are worth it. I got Americana for a great price too while as the fest so I have zero complainants.
