We have been asked to provide a wash wax to a newly built car by the local speed shop. I went and inspected vehicles today and panels are in good shape. We will get the cars tomorrow for a polish and then prep for exterior shots. Photos and videos will be taken in an urban environment with street lighting and they will provide some light as well. Vehicle 1 is a bright red vehicle 2 is black sapphire metallic. What do you guys recommend for topping it with polish? We're thinking menzerna 2500 or m205. Poor boys black hole and then apply colonites paste wax 915. Vehicles will be driven to different locations so I'm bringing onr in a spray and a detail spray and 915 .

Any other suggestions?
 
I don't think it will matter what you use TBH. I would however avoid using multiple products as you increase the risk of streaking/smearing, which may very well show under the street lights.

Just my $.02

I must concur with Vega on this suggestion for a top-of-the-line, great reflection, concourse-quality shine, last-step product. I have used Collinite 915 on daily drivers that provide exceptional shine and protection for such vehicles, BUT for the 10/10th's shine of Pinnacle's Souveran Wax over other LSPs (IE, other LSPs may have only 9/10th's of the shine of Souveran), it's hard to beat if that is the ultimate "look" you are trying to achieve.

Granted, Souveran is expensive when compared to Collinite 915, which is why I choose to use 915; I find it is very cost-effective for the "look" it gives. But as my deceased father used to say, "If you want to run with the big dogs, you've got to pay like the big dogs."
 
Blackfire Wet Diamond. Would be great on these darker colors. Can top with BF Midnight Sun Paste Wax for a little extra depth, but BFWD does that all by itself rather nicely.

Night shots? Optimum Gloss-Coat, looks insane under artificial lighting.

Not to sound sarcastic, but I am glad to see a post from someone whom I consider an Autopian All-star. (Just look at the quantity (and quality) of his post!)
The Accord looks like the same car from a previous post on OPT Gloss-Coat.
 
In my experience with black paint, BFWD gives a great pop, the tradeoff is it's def a dust magnet. 02.
 
If you're looking for bright sparkle for a photo shoot...you're not talking a concourse detail...
A photo can't tell concourse depth, warmth, and that look of a deep pool of calm water.
...if you want quick, fast and lots of night time sparkle....then my 1st choice would be...

Poorboy's World Liquid Natty's Blue Wax

It's inexpensive. It sparkles, it's easy and fast. Get in, make it sparkle, and get out of they way.
Apply at site. It doesn't attract dust (like Souveran), & it's great for both daytime & night photos.

Nobody is going to be happy with you if your at the photo shoot site & start doing the Mr. Miyagi.
PB Liquid Blue is fast on, fast off and it sparkles and shines excellent for the lights and camera.
 
Thanks for the info guys. We ended up postponing until next Friday due to weather. We did get the cars and have been doing a full correction on them in prep for a coating next week.
