I sense a little sarcasm there! This post has only been on here a day.

I am still fairly new at knowing what waxes work with what colors. From searching around and looking at different sites, I would have said pinnacle signature series or even Dodo Juice. Guess its your call!

Out of the three choices Nattys red, but next time consider Fuzion or SSII from Pinnacle.

I havent used any of those so I cant speak to them. I have a metallic blue car and IME polymer pops it the most. I think the Sonax may be a hybrid. I have Fuzion on mine now and it looks excellant. Sometimes I use a sealant like BFWD or UPGP which leave a nice hard candy gloss.

souveran paste or pinnacle signature series 2 would be my 2 choices.. they would make that paint look sick!

IME = in my experience
BFWD = black fire wet diamond

He was saying in his experience polymers or polymer based waxes/sealants are best for metallic paints. Correct me if I'm wrong Old Tiger.

Thats what my choice would've been, I might do SSII to use in the future, for metallic paint..

Exactly Richard. Hybrid Nubas or sealants pop the flake best IME!
