Best waxes for colors
I read through the Pinnacle wax products and they indicate, "all colors", "best on light colors", "best on red, black, dark colors". Is there a chart that indicates this information for the various waxes which AG carries? Or, how much of a difference does it really make?

That would actually be a neat idea. A chart would be very cool! In general it really doesn't make much difference. Of course there are exceptions.

Re: Best waxes for colors
Sounds like a good idea initially, but IMO, it's way too subjective and I'll guarantee there will be many heated debates until the chart/thread will ultimately get closed down.
Just for fun, I'll start with a few:
Pinnacle Souveran: Great for black and red.
Meguiar's M26: Great for black and red.
S100: Great for metallics.
3M Show Car Paste Wax: Great for black and red.
Wolfgang Paint Sealant: Great for dark metallics (just my experience).

I can tell you that P21S 100%, Nattys Red, Fuzion, Pinnacle SSII, Dodo Hard Candy and more look delicious on colors and metallics.

Re: Best waxes for colors
I asked the question because my daughter's 1990, red civic, Optimum spray wax just doesn't work. the prep is: wash, clay, Megs 105, 205, Menzerna final polish, Klasse AIO, Wolfgang Sealant and, originally, Pinnacle Souveran. I washed the car down w/ ONR (which is great stuff), used Optimum Spray wax & it just didn't look right. I rewashed, re-waxed w/Pinnacle Souveran and totally different look.

If you are looking for something that you can apply often that will make the car look good but wont break your bank i would look into nattys red or maxwax. I absolutely love both of those and both look great. they are also a breeze to apply and remove too. You can apply those often and it still wont cost you very much to do it and the care will still look stunning

I have a 1996 red Prelude VTEC. If you're looking for a stunning look for the red (After polishing, of course) on a budget, try either M26, Natty's Blue or S100. I've had all of them on my Prelude at one point or another and they all looked great. M26 was the hardest to apply and remove, whereas Natty's Blue and S100 were both very easy to apply and remove.

P21s 100% defiantly looks spectacular on metallics, the best I've seen on metallics in ***my opinion***
Liquid Souveran looks very wet and glossy on whites too.
Paste form Souveran for solid (non metallic) colours like reds, blacks and yellows.

Re: Best waxes for colors
I have a 2010 Syber Green Camaro, 3 weeks old to me anyway. First question is when do I give it it's 1st wax? And 2nd since it is an odd color, kind of metallic, what wax would be suggested. Thanks
