    Advice on sealant and/or wax selection

    Hi all!! And thanks in advance for taking the time to read this question and give any advice. I posted up in the intro section and asked this in a much longer question, I'll post it much shorter in a topic specific section here.

    I've had an 87 Trans Am, bright red, for half my life - huge Pontiac and Firebird guy - repainted it years ago. My liking is for a glossy, pop that looks like bright red water was just poured over it, bright wet look. I've spent a month reading, searching, etc deciding which route and because my brain is the way it is, lol, I bounce around like a ping pong ball making my choice(s). I've always been a huge Meguiars fan, but lately have been deciding to come out of the Meguiars shell to maybe try more things.

    It currently has compound, swirl remover and polish #7 show car glaze, and countless layers of Ultimate Liquid Wax. Lools fantastic! But obviously better is the goal for all of us. So after a proper paint step on virgin paint looking at,

    - Ultimate Liquid Wax (possibly top with high tech yellow wax, never done this before but learnt trying it from this site)

    - Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant (possibly top with Fuzion)

    - BlackFire Hybrid Montan (possibly top with Midnight)

    - Pinnacle Black Label, Souveran, Synergy options

    With that soaking wet goal, which is the better route? Stay just coats of sealant or top with wax? Would they all look very similar to the average eye unless all parked side by side to see the difference(s)??

    I have made probably a 100 choices of the above in my head, I think asking people who have experience with them, so are experts then on them, is less tiring for me. Lol.

    Thanks again for taking the time folks!!!

    Oh wow thank you for that offer sir, I really appreciate that! I am in Canada, so shipping would be stiffer than US address. I would pay though.

    Every time I try to send a pm it won't work either... is it because a member has to have a certain number of posts to allow more movement on the site???
