Yes collinite is definitely in my future. Probably the next time I make an order with a supplier of such.

I have a Shadow Grey Metallic Jaguar and a Platinum Silver Porsche.
Both are metallic. I use Meguiars NXT Generation 2.0 Paste Wax for $22.00 for an 11 oz. can.
I suggest that you give this new technology Polymer wax a try. The results are very impressive and it's a low cost expense for a premium product.

New technology?
The first batch of NXT GENERATION 2.0 was in December, 2007.
Though when considering the long history of Meguiar's...
That really is just a drop in the bucket!

-What is Gloss?
Gloss is where light is allowed to pass through a substance/material, so the light illuminates and reflects the substrate.
(Such is the relationship between a "perfected", polished CC, and the BC. The reflected color dazzles the eyes!!)
What is Shine?
-Shine is where the light is reflected before it reaches the substrate. (The reflected light dazzles the eyes!!)
Many more variables can be further discussed/debated at later time.
For now:
I won't go as far to say that any given LSP does...or doesn't: add (or subtract) gloss, or shine.
That explanasion about the reflection... I love it!

+1 for Pinnacle's Signature II. Makes my silver flake reflect so much that in the sun the car appears almost white from a distance. The flecks give the finish an impression of depth when viewing up close.
The Maroon metallic paint on my other car reflects light that, from a distance, it almost appears black due to the contrast. Up close the same feeling of a deeper finish is transmitted by the flake and rich color background.
Very pleased with the results.....

But we all know that the "shine" emanates from the paint and the wax is only protection. The wax might be filling in micro scratches to reduce scattered light reflections/refractions. Seems I've heard that before.

One of the most underrated paste waxes; I tried some for the first time last week and it was freakin' great. I also use Colli #845--I might try them layered.

Soeey, I never used the paste version. I have the liquid version and never had a complaint or concern on longevity. It is a carnuba so it wont last months on end and you have to set expectations as such. I thought we were talking more about shine than durability thats why I suggested the souvern
