    Depth/Gloss in LSP

    I have spent hours pouring over this Forum and have narrowed my LSP choices to 2; Dura Gloss or Four Star UPP. For those in the "know" I will be using this on a WHITE 2016 Jetta GLI, my goal is gloss/wet look more so that overall durability. Recommendations based on experience?
    Thanks.

    Re: Depth/Gloss in LSP

    I have tried neither (sounds promising i know ) settling myself on 845 on my single stage white paint..
    BUT to date i have heard more positives on Duragloss... and it was going to be my other choice IF the 845 didn't continue to impress on so many levels...

    I also went down the route of Souveran (liquid wax and subsequent spray wax) and whilst the gloss was very nice it definately darkened the paint making it look more yellow.... which the sealants tend not to do.. personally i prefer the more crisp white so that steered me on that one too..

    Re: Depth/Gloss in LSP

    Although both Dura Gloss (which one),
    or Four Star UPP are fine products...but
    I wish you hadn't finalized the narrowing
    of your search before you had taken into
    consideration:
    Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax, high melt polymer car wax, Finish care auto wax

    Note:
    Never mind Finish Kare 1000P's
    Hi-Temp Paste Wax nomenclature:
    It is a most excellent Sealant...

    Appreciate the comment, I used Colonite but just thought there may be a glossier option.

    Wow, that looks great. Odd it isn't on Auto Geek but on the other site? Aren't the 2 the same Company?

    Re: Depth/Gloss in LSP

    This was done at least 8 months after the the Blackfire products had long faded away.

    This stuff for a spray wax is amazing. Easily 2 months of durability for something that take minutes to apply and remove.

    BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Spray Wax, spray car wax, aerosol wax
