First off , Hi to everybody.

I am a hard core car freak that wants to polish his own cars:buffing: , i own a classic and a late model sports car ( both in solid red color )



I just bought the flex 3401 / menzerna polishing kit from autogeek ( menz po83,po106 and po115c finishing glaze ).

Here's my questions for a red car ( solid color ).

I am looking for a sealant that provides a wet look and depth as i am not too fond of zaino like reflectivity.
What would you suggest ?

Should i skip the last stage of this kit ( provided finishing glaze ) and do a final polish with menzerna po85rd to promote adhesion of your suggested sealer ?

I already have a can of Souveran, is it a good idea to apply it over the suggested sealer you recommend in my case ? ( pros and cons, dust issues )

Thank to all

The best way to provide the best shine wetness is to take the time and properly polish your vehicle. If you do this you will not need any glaze and any sealant or glaze you apply you will not see any difference. Your lsp is just there to protect your hard work.

Menzerna Finishing Glaze 3.0 is actually a light finishing polish and part of a two step process so indeed use it. As for sealants you might like Menzerna Powerlock, Four Star UPP, and Wolfgang Concours and all look really nice and glossy.

You can top as wanted or desired, but really comes down to personal choice when adding carnauba over a sealant. Souveran is a great wax in its own right, but durability is not the highest. It is however so darn easy to apply and remove that a fresh coat is quick and rewarding.
