Hi,i would like to know,what would be your first choice lsp,that has the most dramatic effect,on darkening red/burgendy metallic paint.I am aiming more for depth,than anything else,as i dont want the bright, reflective look.I would be gratefull for your input.many thanks william. :up
 
Check out PoorBoy's Natty's Blue, Pinnacle Souveran, P21S, S100 and consider some of the Zymol range ad well as FK1's Pink Wax. I have used all of them but I have limited experience with the Souveran and have only tried Zymol's Japon. Overall, if all factors were to be considered including price, I would choose Natty's Blue. I found it darkens and warms very, very well.

If price were not a factor, I would choose Pinnacle Souveran. It's very beautiful on dark cars. Nice and deep, very wet with great depth.

Again, not considering price, check out a recent Zymol thread. Several rave about some Zymol products but some of the prices are in the stratosphere.

I also must mention Collinite's 845 and 476s. 845 leaves a beautiful look and 476s is close behind but the durability of those two waxes, especially 476s is just amazing.

I also must mention Meguiar's #16 which has been discontinued but is still to be found if you look carefully. Several on this forum rave about it but I have not had the privilege of trying it.

This is entirely subjective of course and aside from trying everything, I guess you gotta base your choice on people's responses.

Lastly, realize that your prep is the most important factor and if that is not up to par, you will likely be disappointed in the look of your chosen LSP no matter what it is.

Have fun!

If you're in the market for an OTC product, Meg's #26 darkens the finish appearance considerably, lasts about 4-6 weeks with no help.

I would have to say Clearkote CMW. It has been the most dramatic on my dark blue metallic, hands down.
 
I would like to throw into the mix Detailer's Pride Max Wax. I used it recently on a blue metalic Audi A6 and it REALLY darkened the paint. The only other wax I've used which altered the color that much is Zymol Concours. The DP is MUCH cheaper though.
 
Another vote for Meguiar's # 26, really nice, final, overall look ... I haven't tried Clearkote Moose Wax, but it's a fan favorite.
 
You answer is 9 different products.

There may not really be a "best" answer, you'd have to try each and see which one you like best. I'd recommend pick one, and try it and see how you like it. Some other product may always seem "better", but the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.



Personally, I'd go with natty's blue paste wax.

Actually, it's the clearkote carnauba moose wax, not the clearkote moose wax (which is purple in color, rather than white).

Yeah, I was having an indecisive day. :sadpace: Sorry about that.

If I had to go with just one of what I mentioned, I would choose Natty's Blue for darkening ability.
 
and another vote for megs #26. tried it on the QX4's brilliant silver (which looks pretty light) and it darkened it to something like diamond graphite which is something like gray...
 
Try Meg's Deep Crystal 2 polish (or DC1 paint cleaner if your paint's a mess) before applying your wax . . . either/both will considerably darken paint.
