Hi folks, my Jeep has a custom blue-pearl on white paint job. What can I do to enhance the depth and brightness of the pearl? From the right angle the panels do have an awesome blue color to them.



I just got a flex and wetsanded (did not fully take down all orange peel to maintain clearcoat thickness)and polished most of the vertical surfaces, I noticed I had not fully polished out some of the sanding marks (faint lines noticed with bright light on panel). I used M105 with an orange lake country pad, M205 on a white pad, Mothers FX SynWax on a black, and Mothers TopCoat. will try to get pics soon. I also tried putting a coat of S100 paste wax on top and then put more TopCoat on that for the hood.



I'd like to add a glaze to my detail such as Meguiars no 7 or Menzerna finishing touch glaze.

I also have pearl paint, and Klasse AIO does the best shop I've seen at bringing the "pop" out of the pearl finish. I usually use Megs 83, megs 80, KAIO, then Klasse SG or duragloss or collinite 915, amazing look, pops in the sun, gets glowing at night.
