what wax for atomic orange(metallic) corvette z06?

[MORUAR]

Pinnacle Souverän Paste Wax (http://www.autogeek.net/pinsouvwax.html), Pinnacle Signature Series II or Pinnacle Liquid Souverän Wax?

I also have great results with the Poor Boy line of wax's

Are you looking for looks, durability, little of both. Pure shine, or you want that nuba glow?

If you are just looking for looks and a nuba glow cant go wrong with Souveran Paste.

Beautiful colour!

I'd go with P21s 100% Carnauba since it is a metallic Orange. It looks real good on metallics!

I do not care the durability, I'm just looking looking the best shine as posible and nuba glow to if it si possible.
My question is what wax works good on my tipe of paint (metallic atomic orange)?
previous a coat of walfgang paint salant 3.0...

When it comes to creating a deep, wet shine after you remove any and all defects then you want a wax that creates a clear, high gloss finish, easy application and wipe-off are both nice features too,

The Pinnacle Souveran waxes both paste and liquid create very clear, high gloss results and spread on easy and wipe off easy. I've been very impressed with both versions of this wax.

M26 in the Meguiar's Line also works very well and gives paint a very clear, deep shine.

Pick up one of each and have some fun, like shoes are to women, waxes are to men. They have their collection, it's okay for you to have your collection.

I am going with Four Star UPP or DP MaxWax. Both of these will just ignite the flake in that paint.

P21S 100% or Dodo Juice Orange Crush.

:iagree::iagree::iagree:and:iagree:did I say that :iagree:?
My wife has so many pairs of shoes, boots, and sneakers (excuse me athletic shoes) she has a separate walk in closet for them. She even has un-worn duplicates of her favorites.
Seriously my brother from Argentina Fuzion,Souveran and any of the other waxes Mike mentioned deserve a place in any car guys arsenal of waxes.
If you would really like to have some fun and get the best bang for your buck (Argentinian dollar), try the Dodo Juice line of waxes.
Dodo Juice Carnauba Car Waxes, dodojuice wax, carnauba wax, dodo wax, dodo car care, rainforest rub, supernatural wax, purple haze wax (http://www.autogeek.net/dodo-juice-car-wax.html)
You can get them is 30ml sample sizes and you can try all eight of the hard and soft varieties not to mention the ultimate Dodo Supernatural. They are great for layering and with all eight you can really have fun experimenting to create the look that is just right for you. In particular I would look into the Dodo Banana Armor hard wax. They say that it looks great on orange colored cars.

In fact AG offers them individually and in packages. You can get the eight pack for only $89.95 or individual samples at only $13.95. Good luck and lets see some :Picture:of your shining sucsess.

I just tried Do Do Juice Banana Armour on my Neon, which is that Orange Blast paint and I like it so far.....Although not as pretty as your Vette!

My usual go to's are M26 (dries clear too!), NXT 2.0 and M16.

Nice Corvette!

I'll throw in my vote for Megs #26. always gives me a great gloss and shine.
In fact, on my '65 Corvette show car I usually have M21 topped with #26.

Sorry for not having better quality pics but as you can see in the paint reflection it was a very overcast day - not the best for trying to show how good the #26 is:

SS II if you want the metallic to stand out and DP MaxWax if you have flakes and want them to pop. DP POPS

Yes....I love that color on the vette and I have to agree with Mike by saying that the the Meguiars 26 is very good a give a deep lasting shine and you cant beat the price compared to the Pinnacle Souveran:cool:

Souveran will show depth and glow, to me personally the orange atomic coloring looks greatest with Fuzion or Sig Series II. Its something with the polymers and metallics but then again its just my opinion.

OK so I just learn something. the secret ingredient with wax that make pop flakes is polymer? So, Naaty Red should have polymer just like DP maxwax do?

I thought polymer was a ingredient that make wax last a bit more time..
