Which products give a "darker" appearance?

I've read many post that describe Pinnacle's Sourveran (sp?) as producing a darker look to finishes. Are there any other products that do this?



Being a regular user of S100 it seems to me #26 gave my red finish a darker appearance, but it's been awhile since I've used #26.

~One man’s opinion~



“Gloss & Finish: Again, “OUTSTANDING�. It’s the first polymer that does what I want; it makes the finish darker so you can see the depth of shine. I can’t wait to test it on red.� David Bynon testing results for Megiiar’s NXT Tech Wax

Any product with a lot of oils in it will alter the look of paint. Most high quality carnaubas do this.



When I saw NXT in action it did seem to slightly darken the paint. It was most noticeable on black (naturally).
 
NHBFAN- Yep, your observations about #26 are correct, it's known for "darkening" the appearance slightly.



BFII does the same. When I had it on the S8 and parked beside Accumulatorette's A8 (identical color), the S8 looked SO dark it was like it was painted a different color.



I have NOT noticed this with Souveran. It's a different look from P21S (the P21S is "brighter" and more reflective), but it never seemed to darked any of the silver cars I used it on.
 
Klasse does it to my Deep Evergreen Max. The product that did this most noticeably to my car, though, was Ardex Seal-B covered with Flint wax...but the Klasse's darkening effect lasts much longer even though the Ardex lasts a very ver long time for wax...the darkening goes away before the wax does I think.
 
#26 is the darkest I've used. Souveran Paste is close, and "wetter". P21S and S100 aren't really close. According to Meguiar's, Gold Class is their darkest wax.



MPPP is pretty dark for a hybrid.

The 1st time I used crystal mist over a coat of souveran, I noticed the paint was much darker. I was very impressed...
