    Sealant to make flake pop?

    I have Souvran Signature I. This used to do wonders for the flake on a black Tacoma I had. New car has a pretty heavy flake to it. It seems like the industry has had a definite shift towards sealant/polymer technology. However, most of these just give a candy coated look.

    Is there a sealant/polymer that gives a more warm glow that makes the flake pop? I'd use the Souvran, but I'd like to try some of the new products on the market over top.

    If the paint is well prep'd/polished,I don't know of a sealant that will not make the flakes pop?
    It's all in the prep
