Great read Meghan! Thanks for sharing!

Killer read, thanks for the heads up Meghan!

I actually saw that when they did it. They posted it over on facebook and gave it a read. Great read most definitely!

IMO...Good read. An entirely unbiased point of view?...but, nothing personal (I appreciate being updated on anything car care), thanks for sharing this article Megan.

Just for discussion sake:

I was under the impression that most modern auto paint's top finishes were of a clear nature, that is an alleged unpigmented clear-coat. If one adds pigmented wax,(1,2,6, or more layers) to the clear-coat paint the effect on this unpigmented clear would then surely be "unnatural", occluded, or otherwise obscured. As it has pointed out that wax just "sits" on top of the clear-coat, these effects, however 'subtle' to the "eye of the beholder" would, it seems, become more "unnatural" as the pigmented wax starts to fail/diminish/streak/wear away. IMO...Same analogy goes for most waxes.

That is why, unless otherwise requested, I now use LSPs that, IMO, imparts the most clear/shiniest/mirror-like results I can find (sealants, coatings).

Just my dollar two ninety-eight.

Great stuff Meghan...thanks for posting...

Very interesting read. Definitely something to think about.

I think the dark lines of buildup around the tape edges is a bit distracting, I may use some photoshop fu' tonight to make some clearer side by side comparisons without the dark lines.

You definitely raise some good points.

Honestly, I'm not sure that these results "help" Dodo in terms of selling more of their colored waxes. Applying a wax that does not let the true color of the paint clearly shine through probably isn't something that too many of us want.

Hence, why I use with supernatural hybrid which has no color at all. Great LSP!

P.S. You're alive!
