Amogst all the waxes and sealants I've tried, Megs #26's looks and beading impressed me the most for by black car. But I need durability here in Chicago.



What waxes have you guys found to be the most durable darkening/depth enhancing waxes?
 
Autoglym HD and Blackfire Wet Diamond are going to be your best bets, but neither is exceptional in durability. Collinite 915 might be your best solution, it doesn't darken really, but it is not bright. But, in winter your car looks like crap anyway, so might as well go with the most protection and switch to what you like for summer.
 
I've noticed the Collinites do darken paint. The 915 and 476 more noticably.



When I compared bare control panels to test panels, BFWD and WDGPS3.0 darken the paint quite a bit as well.
 
For me, Meg's M26 is the darkening king but longevity is only a couple months. I notice Ultimate Wax liquid also darkens a somewhat and seems to last a lot longer.
 
I'm not sure on which wax if you're looking for durability plus darkening, but Prima Amigo is a glaze that darkens nicely you could put under whichever wax you choose.
 
OCW, Dodo Juice Banana Armour, PB Natty's Blue, and WGDPS 3.0 are the one's i can think of that are in my arsenal that i think of. I can agree the Prima Amigo does darken a little too.
 
My vote (If I may) goes to HD NITRO SEAL



Can I assume that the paint is polished to perfection already? If not, I'd say final polish it with HD POLISH and use HD NITRO SEAL. If it is perfect just NS. The durability & the look can not be beaten.
 
Not into glazes anymore. The paint is near perfect except for some RIDs in certain small areas. Natty's blue darkens but has terrible durability for me.



The goal is to find a darkening wax with some solid durability. Nitroseal seems like an option, although I'm giving Poxy right now a second try because I think my finish was not completely cleaned from polish residue and oils. Poxy is on the car but the gloss has been muted and cloudy as compared to right after I p085rd'd it.

Can you give HD Speed a chance??? Then apply Poxy......

Hmm HD Speed, it's an AIO right? I already have both KAIO and ZAIO, can I use one of those instead to remove any remaining polish oils and the current layer of Poxy off the paint?
