    Waxes for dark blue? Sun compliant?

    So far all I came across is the Natty Blue from PB. Looks good, but just wondering if there was anything else out there that is good on darker colors, doesnt cost an arm and a less and comes off well in the sun? I have Collinite 845 that comes off well in the sun, just wondering about anything else, or anything else that can layer with the 845...

    If you think 845 comes off easy in the sun, then you could probably get most waxes to work ok for you then. PB Natty Blue was wat first came to mind for me also tho

    Well 915 comes to mind but you probably knew that already. Dodo Juice Purple Haze Pro and Blue Velvet Pro will work in the sun; 30ml panel pots will last quite awhile and they have sealant characteristics (and some cure time requirements of about 2-4 hours if I recall). They also have non-pro versions which are based primarily with Carnauba. And lets not forget another staple of mine... Mothers Brazilian Carnauba (which I tend to top with OCW).

    RE: "Waxes for dark blue? Sun compliant"?

    -Upon reviewing a previous thread of yours: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...olish-wax.html
    I will still have to consider the above subject matter to be an oxymoron.

    -If you will even remotely consider that the color: "Dark Blue"...
    is getting pretty close to being almost as dark as a color of: "Black"...
    Then I suggest reading this following Mike Phillips Article:
    http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...-full-sun.html


    -I must also suggest that these following Mike Phillips articles will shed more light on:
    "Detailing and Sun Compliance".

    http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...-sunlight.html

    http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...-sealants.html


    My questions/bottom-line are:
    1. How can car-care products, including LSP's, perform their best when they are being applied to a surface
    that is involved in re-radiation resulting from the emission of previously absorbed radiation from the Sun?

    2. "Theoretical Electricity" aside:
    Could power be generated from the temperature difference between a black and white car?

    3. Best of Luck!!
