Carnaubas for Metallics

I've been using P21S100% on my dark gray Lexus. I love the clarity of this wax and how it makes the flakes pop like crazy. I've been wanting to try Pinnacle Souveran Paste and CG 50/50, but I am concerned with either one muting/blending the flakes on the paint. What has your experience been with those two waxes? Will either mute the flakes? I've tried Clearkote Carnauba Moose Wax and it definitely muted the flakes.

 

I personally find that Pete's '53 makes the metallic shine like no one's business. Almost too much.

 

More great advice from the ruud boy! I agree with P1et.

 

I agree with P1et...Petes just makes metallic jump like no wax I have used...paint just Glimmers...do a good polishing...and do Petes..and your Flake will do the flake pop jig...

I did my GF's Honda with it before she traded it in for a new CRV and it was a metallic green paint...and even the salesman said it looks like a Christmas tree with the lights on...

very nice product

I have used Souveran on Metallic and found it did not mute the flake as some have said, looks nice, also Petes does make the flake pop.

 

What about 50/50?

 

I've used FK's 1000P and it looks great on metallics.

 

My new Wet Obsession paste wax looks awesome on metallics. I just had one of my distributors put it on his dark shadow gray metallic Lighting and it looked wicked!

Right now I also have a preorder special going where you get $10 off.

i like p21s on metallics and found that souv did mute the floakes. I noticed this on a black honda with boue pearl

 

Yeah, I think Souveran is now out of the question for me given its muting effect. Now I need to choose between 50/50 and Pete's 53.

 

Pete's 53 or Pinnacle Signature Series 2 would be my recommendations...

Peter

 

Good one. What do you guys think? Pete's 53 or Pinnacle Signature Series 2? What about 50/50?

 

sig series 2 is awesome for mattalic flake!!!!

 

50/50 will pop flake nice also..but Pete's has a warmer look to it...Petes has a wetter look...but don't get me wrong..50/50 is nice also...lasts a little longer than Petes also...

What about Pinnacle Crystal Mist QD? Is it any good? Does it really improve or revive the look of Sig Series 2?

 

DP Max Wax!

 

Pete's 53 did nicely for me on metallics.

 

crystal mist is great it really recharges the wax!!! i just bought a gallon!!!

 

I also vote for SSII. super easy on/off, smell good and gives an awesome on silver and metallic. Durability is it's weakness like any pinnacle waxes...

 

Go for Obsessive Detail's Wet Obsession Paste Wax.

It has a few tweaks and improvements over the CG 50/50 .
it is a notch higher if that is what you are looking for.
