Best wax for a dark blue metallic paint?

[otruba_843]

I have a Monaco Blue metallic BMW which for those who don't know, almost looks black unless it is direct sunlight. I just ordered some BFWD sealant and would like to top it off with a wax next time I do a full correction. My metallic is almost non-existent unless it is in bright sunlight. It really makes the paint look better if I can see it. I know compound/polish helps a lot, but what wax will help? Looking to stay under $50 for a pot.

Responses will be subjective, simply because people have their own favorite wax. Two choices would be either the BF Midnight Sun or Pinnacle Sig Series II. I have used both and prefer the Sig II on my black Mercedes. Hope this helps.

Recently tried pinn sig 2 on my wife's red dodge journey with pretty impressive results

Boy have u opened up an opinionated door! I am huge fan of souveran. I use coly 845 as my durable wax and souveran as my apply every 3-5 weeks. Honestly I usually top my 845 with souveran. Another great couple of waxes on dark colors are natty blue and s100. I have two black vehix and these are my go to. Good luck.

A have a blue granite SUV and I use Fuzion wax during the summer and Collinite 845 in winter. Great results with both.

Im going to through in a curve ball and recommend trying the BL/V7 combo with a coat of say Pete's 53 in between BL/V7.

I've used Natty's paste wax red on my Cosmos E36 M3 and the blue fleck comes out great! I would give it a go.

Here's my monaco blue 335i - I'm new to machine polising but this was after weekend #1 with my Griot's DA. Compounded, polished, and then Blacklight with Pete's 53. I'm pretty happy with the results and it seems like a good combo for this color. Really liked the Blacklight! :props:

[bmwohio]

Looks like it came out great! Are you going to layer the Pete's or stick with one coat?

Thank you sir - I had a blast at least getting this far.

As for layering, I tried that with a panel and didn't notice much difference. I have a little roadtrip coming up starting tomorrow :cruisin:so I've got the "essentials" bag packed up and may play around with that when I get back next week....

Colly 476s really made the flakes on my Fusion pop and it lasts a very long time.
