What product works best to give metallic flake in paint to "POP"
My car is lava red which looks black 99.99% of the time unless it's in the sun then you can see the metallic red. I was wondering what product really makes the metallic POP when out in the sun. I'm just curious to see what product is best for showing off the flake. Thanks!!!!

It depends on what kind of product you are needing. Theres polishes, sealants and waxes that can all enhance the flake in a vehicles paint.

Duragloss 501, since it is an AIO on steroids that can last + six months.

On my dark blue pearl paint the angle of light/sun seems to have more of an affect than any wax or polish I've tried.

Look for sealants or waxes that describe the after effect of the finish as "bright and shiny" vs. "wet and shimmery."
Bright and shiny effects like you'll find from liquid Souveran are geared more toward brighter colors, and help enhance pearls.
Cleaning and polishing your paint as best you can before application of any LSP will also help.

clarity is key to being able to see the flakes through the clear coat. This AIO is AWSOME!

i really need to try the duragloss 501 or 105. I tried the Klasse for an AIO and really was less than impressed...great slickness, but not enough bite for me o the BMW i used it on.
