Soaking wet

the pics depict a nice beaded surface but the picture itself looks to be computer generated . could i be wrong?

 

[Beemerboy]

The best for wet looking car that I have come up with is P-w-C, WG sealant...and spit shined with Nattys

for me that would be cool because those products you listed are in my aresenal of wax/sealants.

 

[DetailQueen]

Yeah I would say Wolfgang and a good carnauba like signature series or souveran

95% of the wet look you achieve comes from prep work. You can wax oxidized paint, you can wax over swirls, but it's not going to look stunning until it's polished to perfection (or as close to perfection as possible ). Just my .02.

^^^ +1

For a wet look you need a well preped surface. Then on top of that you need a greasy oily product like a glaze or carnauba. Some sealants are getting that look without the oil. Wolfgang is one of them.

No carnauba here:

I got this look using Meg's Deep Crystal #1 Paint Cleaner, followed by NXT paste and topped with #16 over Collinite IW (I know, overkill much )

Hey Don to do whatever it takes to make a car lok like that isn't overkill. It's worth it. Very nice indeed. Rick

 

[joe.p]

i know the prep work is important i was looking to see what products were used to achieve it.

jngrbrd,
i love the that pic more and more everytime i see it. GREAT WORK!

Don,
that yellow is awsome, i've seen your gallery and what you did with the leather seats on the buick and and i used the same process on my leather seats as you did and i coudn't be happier.the blue is much bolder and brighter and the leather has a soft feel to it.

AIO + Souveran is a great wet look.

AIO will not remove swirls, it only cleans the paint.
