    what would be good wax to put on this color. (name of paint is Long Beach Blue Pearl)

    and which wax would be good for car with metalic flake to make it "pop" i think i used pinnacle paste glanze on silver M3 and i think it dulled the flake but maybe its just me

    is there application guide for different color cars and such?

    all waxes you guys named i have, hmm. i guess i can try couple different onces on small section and see which one i like better

    My supernatural really brought my metallic out yesterday. They say though, that sealants tend to pop flakes more. I don't know if thats a rumor, but both Fuzion and SN have worked wonders on my black metallic.

    just got fuzion and never tried it, so thats one choise, black fire wet diamond is going on paint first so it should help.
    and have sample pot of supernatural too

    i have used a couple different waxes that popped my flake LoL. That just sounds wrong but anyways.

    Wolfgang Sealant works pretty good.

    Collinite 845
    CG 50/50

    all 3 of those have worked great as i have a Belize Blue Accord Coupe that has some killer metallic flake in it.

    If it's not your car I'd say save the sample pot of SN and use the Fuzion. The SN is a little harder to work with, but it gives a slightly better look than Fuzion, and for those reasons and the fact its a small sample I'd say save it for yourself. The Fuzion should work well for you :)

    I have to recommend Pinnacle Signature Series II, it looks fantastic on metallics and pearls. It is easy to work with, decent durability, and the finish it leaves is great.

    I would try blackfire wetdiamond topped with petes 53 if you have it. Looks amazing on my black metallic GTI.

    Wet Diamond is a fantastic sealant. It will probably stay in my arsenal for awhile. I love the looks, ease of use, and the customers are happy with its looks and durability and slickness. I normally leave it untopped for daily drivers, but for garage queens, Ill top it with SV Concorso or RBOE. Both seem to enhance the look in their own way. BFWD + RBOE on a metallic paint with orange peel is an extremely shimmerry result!


    Misha, about the paint colot...are you an NSX owner?
