Pink Wax or Natty's Blue for a white car

Been doing a lot of research on the site over the last few days, and I *think* I've narrowed my choice down to these two as my LSP. Both have gotten a lot of good press, but I'm still unsure which will give me the result that I'm looking for:



The white is non-metallic, non-pearl with just a hint of a blue as an underlying color. I really want to emphasize the "coolness" of the blue, while still maintaining a somewhat wet look. I know this is difficult with white in general, but I've read a number of threads where people have achived some amazing results, so it is possible. However, quite often the wax/sealant they use is to achive more "warmpth", which is not really what I'm looking for.



So, in this instance, would FK1's Pink Wax or Natty's Blue be the better choice? Or am I missing something else altogether? Would a synthetic sealant be more appropriate here, and if so what would you recommend?



For what it's worth, since this is a brand-new car, I was going to start things off with the FK1 Paint Decontamination system, followed by OP, 2180 x 2(3), and then my LSP. Of course, I'd also be doing the necessary interior/trim/wheels/glass, etc. to really set up a nice contrast with the white paint. Please let me know if this is okay, or if there are some other things I should look at to achieve the results I'm trying to get.



Thanks in advance!
 
Really, only you can tell what looks good to you. After you put on 2180, step back and see what the vehicle looks like. Wait about 2 weeks and top with either Pink Wax or Natty's Blue. Step back and see what the vehicle looks like. Wait about 2 weeks again top with the other wax, step back and see what the vehicle looks like. By now you should have an idea what looks best to you.
 
Thanks for the advice!



I was thinking of starting with the Natty's Blue, simply because I thought it might go a little better with the slight blue undertones of the car, but I'm sure I'll end up trying both at some point or another.



If anyone else has any other thoughts though, I'd love to hear them. The wife's already starting to roll her eyes at me when I talk about all the cleaning products I have to get, so the less I have to get up front, the better! ;) :D
 
I'm in a similar situation trying to decide on a carnauba topping for my silver car. My decision is tough as I already do like the way the combination of AIO/UPP looks on my car. I just am interested in experimenting with topping with carnauba to see if it is of significant value (depth, gloss, slickness, ease of washing, etc.).



I have tried Pink Wax and did like the way it turned out. All of these combinations to try and I think I won't be able to test out the durability on any of these combinations as I will probably reapply a different combination way before the previous combinations need to be reapplied.



In the end, I suspect that I won't really be able to tell much difference in appearance as I have a silver car. I suspect that you may end up in the same place. I will be helping my friend detail is pearl white TL this weekend and have another combination to try on his car to see how it looks. Probably will be using 1Z Metallic PolishWax and 1Z Glanz Wax on his car. My sample of Pink Wax is probably enough to do his full car, but would like to see how the 1Z combo looks first. Might try to convince him to let me try Pink Wax on his hood.
 
Natty's Blue looks terrific on white paint with proper prep. I don't remember if I've used Pink Wax on a white vehicle though
