I was wandering what your favorite combo's are to get grey metallic paint to stand out.

I was thinking either the Zaino route or UPC, UPP.

I am not necessarily looking for a sealent but thats about all I hear about for metallic paint.

Just wandering what your favs are for this.
 
I haven't tried UPP yet. I did AIO/SG/TS about a month ago and thought it looked good, then I put some EX on yesterday while I had a break at work. So far out of all the combinations, I've liked that the best. It's a really wet look.
 
That looks great ANDRIVER. How is the Glanz wax to apply remove? Longevity?

I cant get over how the metallic seems to pop out of that.
 
That combo certainly looks nice!

TQB,

You already know my suggestions! :D
 
Yeah I do BOSS. How do you think the Natty Wax compares to Trade Secret or P21S?

I really wanna try the Nattys but I still have some of TS and P21S left.
 
Trade Secret will darken more than Natty's.
P21S will be a little wetter/glossier than Natty's.
Natty's is clearer/more reflective/shinnier than TS or P21S.

All depends on the look you want!

Keep in mind, those are just my opinions on those products.

P.S.......... Natty's or P21S over Trade Secret looks very nice too!
 
I will post a few Seal Grey Porsches I detail.

The first one is finished out with Light Cut and a rotary, Vanilla Moose by hand and topped with P21S

Now for another Seal Grey 911 that was finished out with AIO and then topped with Pinnacles Liquid Souveran

First picture is almost the same angle of the first 911 picture above using the Light Cut, VM, P21S combo.

Here is a BMW 330 that was really in bad shape so I had to buff it out with my rotary and Menzerna Powergloss and an orange Lake Country pad, then buffed out again with Light Cut and a polishing pad. AIO with the Cyclo and topped with Trade Secret

GW is alot easier to apply and remove than Klasse SG. I would rate longevity at 3 months. I really like this stuff.
 
Next one. I personally prefer the look of the AIO and Liquid Souveran, as on the Seal Grey 911, but I would like to see how NXT of the Menzerna FMJ will look on top of the AIO.....Hmmmm, I sense a project coming up this week for my Porsche clients:headbang
 
Check out my review on Wolfgangs. That stuff really impressed me on metalic. The Expedition was so dingy that I didn't even know it was metalic to start with.
 
My favorite combo for grey metallics is Vanilla Moose with regular EX. Runner-ups are Vanilla Moose with S100, or SSR1 with EX or S100.

For lighter metallics, I prefer Pro Polish with EX-P (Natty's topper optional). Runner-ups are PwC with EX-P, or PwC with S100.
