Wanted: A Wet Look For My Lemans Blue Vette......

[sal329]

Another vote for finishing with Menz 85rd

Lemans blue is metallic and often Fuzion and Pinnacle SSII really seems to amplify these paints best. Liquid Souveran is quite nice too and wont break bank.

Another vote here for po85rd. I once did a metallic grey with m105 and m205 and it looked good. Once i applied po85rd the metallics where insanely Popping. Then fuzion would be your best shot!

Another vote for jeweling with PO85rd. Then wax with Fuzion or Signature Series II - I love SSII, it gives the paint a nice warm glow that just makes me feel giddy all over. Plus it's less than a third of the price of a full size Fuzion. If you can swing the price, get the 8 oz. jar of SSII and the 3 oz. mini of Fuzion, then try them both out and see which one you prefer. If you want to put a sealant under it, both Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and Menzerna Power Lock are great sealants. I hear Blackfire Wet Diamond is great as well, and I have it but haven't used it yet, so I can't really comment on it.

I searched and read about finishing waxes/sealants here on the geek, which left me even more confused.............i want to make my vette POP!!!!!!!! Its been washed, clayed, meguiars 105 and 205 and i used a wizards sealant - but its not popping ... i want that wet look...........

what do you guys like? ... give me some opinions ...... from reading i feel that different colors react to the different waxes/sealants ......

thanks in advance...........

The best finish that I have seen evah is with the Pinnacle Souveran hard wax. Expensive - yes, but worth every penny. A pretty far second is Meguiar's #26. Your car will thank you if you use the Souveran, I just had my car out in a thunderstorm for two hours, then drove it home - 15 miles. here's a pic of the car when I got home - nothing sticks to it!




Best,

Jose

And yet ANOTHER vote for 85RD. It's my go-to final polishing step before glaze/seal.

man you guys are the best! lol ... most of you guys seem to like the PO85RD, so i will try this formula above ...

i did a tiny bit of wet sanding, then clayed, 105/205 and the wizards sealant - i thought i did some decent prep work, now its time to glow!

i like the advice on the wizards spray mist, i never knew it helped repel dust ... i will give that a shot ... ive been using the meguiars quick detail spray ...

thanks for all of your input, im on vacation next week and i will get this stuff ordered asap ...

i will post some pics ...
