As for longevity, I did a full decon, clay, polish and coat of 476 on June 7th. Beading is still incredible.
Thanks, is that Duragloss Aquawax?

I didnt wipe down with IPA , as 3M assured me there are no fillers in Ultrafina SE; but I agree with you it must be slightly oily, well it looks like it when you polish it with a DA.

Regarding mirror like reflections.
Do Black cars when polished perfectly reflect better than Silver cars polished equally well?
I ask as my silver car is not as reflective as a new 2018 black Bently I saw at the specialist Bently detailers.
Note that was in the workshop and mine is outside ...
maybe its my imagination but the level of shine seems to change inside and outside but then its my perception or excuse LOL

^^^ I agree. I clay, polish, and wax with Liquid Souveran and use Souveran Spray wax as a drying aid weekly. I get 5 months protection on my daily drivers that live outside.

Re: Ultra High Gloss recommendations please
I have a silver metallic paint. It's hard to get it to stand out beside a perfect polished black paint. The thing I have experienced is it's show a big difference from the protection that leaves the warm carnuaba glow vs the ceramic toppers and some sealants. Gyeon Wet Coat did almost make the finish to crisp and shiny for my taste. There the Sonax BSD (brilliant shine detailer) was a great crispy look from. Then I have used a couple of others QD not sold on AGO unfortuneally that left the more glowing finish. Think that you would like the Polish Angel High Gloss. That one really makes metallic flakes pops and gets a finish to stand out. The fun with toppers is you can slightly change the look once and a while.
Your fender looks great! Is that the paint changing color to light blue or is it reflections?

Not at all, just noting that I believe shine is as a result of the polishing. A jeweled finish is key.

Yes. Nothing beats pure black. I miss it vs my metallic finish now

I was about to post some lighter color including silver vehicles to show you that I had to leave the house.

Lighting certainly plays a role in its appearance. If I would slow down to take better photos and set up better lighting I'm sure I would be doing myself a favor

Thanks Tony
3 coats of Collinite seems to turn a sharp Silver into warmer silver ... must be the Carnuba ?
Think its just the lighting making the blue tinge.
Not as reflective as the above black car :/-
Today is a sunny day (with bonnet done yesterday wing 2 days ago, so now a bit dusty, grill not done yet) it looks like this
