    Lightbulb liquid souveran for light metallics.

    okay, so my car is metallic silver. i do have souveran paste but i use it on my carbon fiber parts being it is designed for darker solid colors if i am correct.

    1)
    i also have liquid souveran and from my understandings, it was formulated for lighter/metallic cars. am i right?

    2)
    i am also going to polycharge a batch with the ch2 poly, anyone experienced results with this mix yet?

    3)
    will the liquid souveran be durable enough and have enough protection on its ow? i have always been a paste wax guy so stepping out of my element is hard to do.

    my main concern is the protection/durability of liquid souveran and especially if it will look good on my metallic silver car. i definetly don't want it to mute the metallic flakes like souveran paste will do.

    thank you.

    Is your trunk cf? If not try the following if you don't mind, 1/2 trunk standard liquid souveran, 1/2 trunk polycharged liquid souveran. Take pictures after application, after about 1 or 2 weeks with a wash and rinse to show beading. I'm curious about this stuff too.

    trunk is carbon fiber too. i could do it on my roof?

    so, is liquid souveran formulated for light metallic cars? i just don't want it to mute the metallic flakes like souveran paste. upon an answer, i will use it tomorrow morning and will definetly do a tester on the roof. what i can tell you is that i polycharge my qd'ers qith h20 poly and i love it.

    Oh you can use the roof, that was my next question! I can't answer your question about muting the flakes, have to wait for Matt or Killrwheels or someone else. I'm still debating the polycharger purchase, need to research more. You're the first person here that's talked about it recently (don't know about the past).

    no muting ... Liquid Souveran is delicious on all colors and can easily be polycharged for more gloss, infact the newer version already comes with it in there.

    I think muting is a bad term for anything, some waxes/sealants might enhance certain colors do to their ingredients and polymers but doubt any actually look to reduce or harm a finishes look intentionally.

    I had good success with liquid souveran on silver. I prefer to use polymer sealants on lighter colors, though.

    What kind of look are you after? I've used Meguiar's NXT 2.0 on our silver Honda Accord with good success.

    The description doesnt mention POlychargerr, but I dont doubt you. If it has it, I will buy it next time its on BOGO, I am a huge Polycharger fan. I love it in UPGP, BFWD and Four Star Spray Wax also in their Leather Conditioner.
