Re: I got a smokin' deal on Black Label Synergy, is it really worth the money?

I hav a bunch of Adam's products that I've used so far....I clay barred the entire car. The I used the Adam's Paint Correction Compund followed by their Paint Finishing Polish. I as looking for something to preserve the hard work, so for the time being, I put 2 coats of Adam's Paint Sealant on the car.
I ordered the Pinnacle Black Label Synergy because it was a great deal. I read it works really good on lighter colored cars, which helped me choose.
So now....
1.) is Pinnacle Black Label Synergy worth the money?
2.) do I have to strip the Adam's Paint Sealant to get the best results or can I just go right over it?
3.) should I have just gone with a ceramic coating like CQuartz or OPT Gloss?
Yes yes no, use the surface cleansing polish first or u will regret it

My paint was pristine before Synergy:
And it was a swirled out mess after. Their is absolutely no doubt this was from the product. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. I took some synergy out of the can and rubbed it between my fingers until it began to heat up and I could clearly feel a grittiness to it.
Once bitten, twice shy as the saying goes. Anyone who wants me to try this particular pot of synergy out on their black car can come on by
I had to polish the entire hood out to fix the damage, I was glad I only tested it on the hood.
Did you use the surface cleansing polish first? If not those swirls could be oil from the coating not bonding. That's happened to me it looks swirled but it's not. I highly doubt there was grit in the wax in just your 1 can

If you don't remove polishing oils before applying synergy the coating will not bond period. It will leave an oily film that won't come off unless a strong APC is used. It will appear swirled.
Synergy is a hybrid product. All polishing oils must be removed for it to bond properly. This is a fact it's in the directions. I believe this is where people are having problems.

I can test sometime today but that grittiness is I believe a high concentration of Carnauba which is why this is a hard wax and not a soft wax. The way you apply it is to spin the foam applicator against the wax while it's in the container which will act to melt the wax and make it soft an not grainy, then apply it over the surface.
I'm not saying you did this, just saying for others reading this into the future, what you don't do is scoop some out of the can and then try to apply it.
I don't have an article, pictures or video showing how to properly use a paste wax but years ago I did write an article on how to properly use M16 - which is like Synergy Paste Wax --> a hard wax.
Hang tight...
