    Best solution for depth

    I'm onto a new car, to me anyway, and am pumped to get it into shape. I've done ceramic before and while it benefitted me, it was a pile of work and probably saved me a fair bit due to less washing over the two years. But, it just didn't have any depth at all, made a great mirror, but didn't give me that wow factor.

    I'm thinking about going with something like Adam's graphene spray following washes and then topcoating with an artdeshine graphene infused wax. Thought is that when I can keep up with the wax it will be great, and if not the Adam's will at least help reduce the washing and rate of getting dirty.

    I'm curious what those who are looking for the deep glossy black appearance are doing on top of ceramic coatings or instead?

    Depth is pretty important to me but I’m an old fashioned wax/sealant guy. My main product is Wolfgang Fuzion I just accept needing to reapply routinely.

    Most ceramic coatings will give you that shiny plastic look. To get that deep wet ink in a pond look use a wax like Souveran.

    Souveran is my single most favorite LSP. It is joy to apply and the looks are spectacular every time. Its just is very short lived. That’s why they use it on show cars before competitions.

    Indeed the Souveran look is what I'm after. I'd happily trade a bit of that level of depth for durability. Has anybody developed a carnuba product with enhanced durability?

    Best solution for depth

    Was always interested in this when I had a black car. Montan, carnauba and sealant hybrid

    BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax

    BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax

    Dodo juice has a hybrid called black widow that rates really well. I tried the light paint version (ShineCraft) on white and looked great with 4-6 month protection
