Hi folks,

I've used a bit of my Pinnacle Souveran on what's known as admiral blue metallic on another one of my cars but I'm looking for something that makes metallic REALLY POP out.

Electron Blue is a much more flaky metallic than admiral blue though so I'm not sure Souveran will help it pop. I've heard Wolfgang Fuzion for metallic perhaps???

Here's a pic of "Electron Blue Metallic" if anyone has good experience with a wax for this particular color I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!

Have you tried Blackfire Wet Diamond? I've really enjoyed using it on cars with metallic flake. Really makes the metallic paint stand out. Give it a shot maybe. :D

I guess I might as well be the first to say it, the actual polish makes the paint "pop", the wax just protects it. Assuming your car's paint doesn't need any polish right now, well, I'd go for Black Fire wet diamond, easy to use, looks soaking wet when done!!!

I would go for Ibiz, contains fossilized carnauba and makes paint look great, Also the main wax of the american antique car musuem

Looks like ill have to give the wet diamond a shot. I did some research on it and it looks promising!

I know that prep is #1 for the look but I want something that really adds a wet shiny look as if there's tons of metallic flake and I want them to dazzle up close.

Going to order some very soon.

Pinnacle SSII, Wolfgang Fuzion, Blackfire Midnight Sun, or Dodo Supernatural. Consider polishing paint first to help bring out additional gloss and reflection.

I'm going to go with Ultima Paint Guard Plus, Optimum Opti-seal or CarPro CQuartz with Reload topping for that color.

Like others have said though the polish is the step that will make the most pop.
