Why do I keep buying all these different LSPs???

I have so many LSP allover the house, I don't know wear they are. Yesterday my wife went to here shoe holder and there were no shoes in it, I forgot that I emptyed her shoes and each shoe holder had a different wax in it. This is not funny but I have the couch for the next few days.So sad

How do you not like blackfire then? It darkens the paint but still has the sealant reflective look with good durability. Try some EZ Creme Glaze on speed 6 with the PC and white or black pad after your polishing, then apply Blackfire. If you dont absolutely love the surface and slickness, then I'm retiring :)

I do like it so far BUT....its too early to make the call yet. Looks and slickness are great. Durability and protection from the elements are going to take a while. I've been burned more than a few times by LSPs. I can't make a call until at least six months I think.

HAHA I hear ya buddy! But let's be honest. If something last for 6 months or 4 months who cares? We apply frequently enough to last all year round!! LOL

Well Im not sure if some of the AIO's or spray waxes I listed would be properly classified as an LSP. But I just put them there to show my superiority :p



But I agree with the sentiment that any decent LSP will make properly polished paint look great.

Got ya, thanks for the reply.
 
For me when I bought my car new the paint was in good condition needing very little if any polish mostly LSP. By keeping the paint in good shape I can experiment with different looks depending on my mood, for example in the spring I like to make it look nice and bright by using KSG, there are times I want it to be a little darker and deeper, the look I get from using DG105. In the summer time I don't like to use waxes as they seem to attract more dust (the work parking lot is next to a gravel lot). hence all the different sealants. For the fall/winter it's carnauba time (#885, #845, S100 etc.). Then off course there's the wife's car which needs a whole different set of products because of the different color and condition. As of lately since my car is a few years old I had to add to the collection of polishes to keep it looking new. I could probably come up with a few more excuses if I thought about it, it's a hobby (for now).
 
Can I tell spot most LSP differences on other people's cars? No, with some rare exceptions ("Nice car, is that Zaino? Ah, thought so.."). But on *our* cars my wife and I both notice anything that's different from what we're used to. Sometimes those differences are good, othertimes they're not.



Heh heh, she can almost always tell if I change the LSP on her silver Audi (and yeah, she has her preferences), I've given up on trying to slip changes past her.

Have more than like 2 waxes and 2 sealants is pointless IMO...

Well, I wouldn't go that far, or maybe it depends on how many cars you're maintaining. I have very specific reasons for using different LSPs; different vehicles call for different approaches and what works just right on one wouldn't be right on another (even the A8 and S8 with their identical paint; they're used for different things in different conditions). At present, none of my vehicles have the same LSP on them.

In my case, it darkened the paint in question (Audi silver) too much for my taste. I'd noticed it, but didn't realize how dramatic the effect was until I parked the two Audis side-by-side and then it was simply amazing. UPP made for a better choice on *that* paint *IMO*.



But I do like BF for underhood/undercarriage parts that are painted flat/satin/matte black, especially when used with the precleaner, it's simply *super* for that application, best stuff I've ever tried. One more reason for having that additional LSP on the shelf.

Used to love that stuff, then it was reform'd. I moved on to FS UPP and never looked back. Been using that for about 5 years now.





I guess you just havent found one that you cant walk away from.......I use two regularly, but one more then the other.......
 
It is neat to play around with different glazes when combined with the LSP. A Glaze will give a entirely different look. Even "gloss enhancing polishes" make a LSP look different.

Eh, that just figures- a) I'm behind the curve regarding product developments and b) once something strikes my fancy it gets changed :o

Same here. It was one of the first sealants that I really liked. It made the paint on my old Acura Integra GS-R and Honda Prelude Type-SH pop. I haven't used it since the '03 formulation and am looking forward to trying the latest Polycharger rendition...which just arrived in the mail :)
