I have been looking at a second car, and it may be the A4/RS4, it would be in metallic grey, yeah I love the color. Plan on 106FF and DWG after. What would you suggest to top it with to make the color POP/SPARKLE?

Are you looking for a nuba or a sealant?
Nuba-Souveran Sig II or Max Wax
Sealant- UPGP

Using a UDM:

106FF white LLC CSS
DWG
IPA wipedown
845 White LLC CSS or UPGP hand apply?

Need some assistance if I should go Carnuba or Sealant, and what would be best and why?

Your IPA wipedown should be after polishing not after DWG. This to get the oils out of the 106 for a clean surface for the sealant or wax to bond to. I would lay 2x UPGP 1x DWG and either 1x UPGP or a nuba.

Thanks boss, how does the 845 sound for a nuba? I have also read much about the UPGP. It is a spray, is it going to last? Just seems that a liquid would not last as long as a liquid or paste. Just an old schooler here, LMK.

No experience with 845, but if you like it, give it a try. You can always go over it with something else. Again no experience with durability on UPGP. It's only been about 3 weeks since the last coat of UPGP. Ultima claims 3-4 mos. durability. I'm planning to re-coat with UPGP once a month. Only takes 10 min. after wash and blow dry.

i read somewhere 845 was good on silver so maybe grey is good too for Collinite!

We shall have to see. Its cheap so I am getting it. Should look good combo'd with the DWG?
