In a few of the pictures towards the bottom, it looked like water had dried and left marks. Then I realized that was the reflection of your shirt pattern. That's an impressive luster!

So far so good, and the Adam's will offer better protection over the nxt2.0. Nxt had more of a fake mirror shine being synthetic, where the adams is carnuba so has a more solid glow and pop to it. I used the adams machine polish wax, and then two coats of their Americana on top. I bought the machine polish as well , but having just using my other polishes few weeks back I just used the waxes for now.

I usually bring it do a touchless heated wash by me on 59 and stearns.
I havent driven it in two months. I got in a bad wreck day after x mas as a passenger, and the car was clean and sat since. I do details on the side feel free to swing by sometime. I do FULL details for friends, and buddies. To try and spread my results word of mouth.
pm me for details

If you're looking for durability, there are much better options. The car turned out really well. As for "fake mirror shine" attributed to synthetic LSPs, C'mon. AFAIK, the Adams wax you used is polymer-based.

I do details on the side feel free to swing by sometime. I do FULL details for friends, and buddies for $150. To try and spread my results word of mouth.

I really hate to sound unkind, and please don't take this personally. Before one can charge folks and take on the responsibility of working on their paint without insurance, one typically needs more experience with every facet of the process. Good luck.

Edit: reading between the lines, it seems like you're getting your info from DB. Is that right?
