Results of Adam's Butter Wax

I received my bottle of Adams Butter Wax today and promptly washed the PCar and waxed it.

The initial impression is that the application was easy as well as the removal. You do need the moisture on the rag to remove it properly (as the instructions state). The shine is great and the effort is much less than the Zaino I used before.

The real key will be to see how it holds up to a wash. That is the one thing that bothered me about Zaino. The shine was great till the first washing and then any swirls showed right up again.

Here are a few pictures of my results.

PS: I did take a few of the obligatory reflection shots but i could not get a crisp clear one as the focus mechanisim was having trouble locking on the shiny surface.

Does your neighbor always creep up on you like that? Looks like I need some of that butter wax. Hopefully the wax repels the dust for at least an hour!
