i want more glow and less reflection

this might be a silly question. it might just need a paintjob of a completely different red lol. but my car reflects more than it glows! its annoying. i want glow. is there any wax or any polish or anything of the sort that could make the car glow more? this pic was taken from a car meet and i did the full detailing treatment the day before. so the finish is absolutely perfect right now... as you can see with the reflection.

flat colors (black/red/yellow) are naturally reflective, and thus premium candidates for carnaubas like Souveran paste. Stay away from most sealants as they are typically more reflective. If you need to go the sealant route, try Wolfgang as warmer looking and glowing !!

Oh...okay well you can't compare a Honda to a Ferrari buddy...the paint quality just isn't the same my friend...lol...but I know what you mean bout getting the glow. I've only used the Wolfgang sealant once and I prefer to use the XMT Glaze because in my opinion I get more of a wet look to the paint. Well that's just what I've noticed and I used the Glaze on a forest green color.

lol yeah i know. i wish i had a ferrari . but yeah i just google searched red car and that popped up and it showed the glow haha. if i typed in "honda red" lol i would probably end up seeing severely oxidized paint and swirls all over. but yeah i think im going to give those products a shot. or im just going to get a can of that ferrari paint and repaint my car haha i wish.
