As I've mentioned in another thread, I've been fairly loyal to NXT. I recently purchased a new 2006 MX-5 GT: Galaxy Gray Mica (metallic) clearcoat



After claying, what base and top coat products would you recommend for this color and type of paint. :help: I'm looking for a deep, wet look with the metallic flakes popping. Decent durability and UV protection preferred even though I tend to detail regularly. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
 
Ive recently tried the NXT + #26 very nice look. Also on my moms Carbon Metallic Denali I put duragloss and aqua wax I also like alot, not to mention it got me so more business from the people my mom works with so thats says enough for me! Those are the OTC products that I have used so far this season.

As my signature shows, I have an '05 Mazda3 (Carbon Gray Mica). I'm assuming that they are close in color.



My suggestion would be DP Max Wax! This is the best wax I've ever used (never used Souveran though). It goes on & off like butter and will make the flake pop. Other suggestions would be NXT + 26. I like both of these regardless, but together would be even better.



If I had to choose just one though, it'd be Max Wax. The Squeak Test - How to test for the presence of wax - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online
 
My wife's Mazda5 is gray mica. A bit darker than galaxy gray.



My favorite look for it has been Prime/AJT. I've also used Natty's blue, Souveran, UPP, 2180, and CMW. To my eyes Prime/AJT gives the best combo of look/durability on that car.
 
The decoder ring section isn't up to date on some things so here you go....



Prime/AJT = Jeffwerkstatt's Prime strong and Acrylic Jett

Natty's blue = PoorBoys Natty Blue

Souveran = Pinnacle Souveran Paste or Liquid Wax

UPP = FourStar Ultimate Paint Protection

2180 = Finish Kare 2180

CMW = Clearkote Moose wax

RMG = Clearkote Red Moose machine glaze
