Any advice guys on the deepest, wettest look for a Flame Red Dodge Ram SRT-10? I have debated everything from dodo juice, PB, etc...

Im thinking I will go with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant, and want a coat of Wax over it.... advice?....
 
Souveran sure is a beauty but lacks durability if that's an issue?

This may come as a shocker to all but the deepest wettest looking wax I've found for solids like blacks, reds and blues is Meguiars Gold Class Carnauba Plus.

I have dozens of different waxes and while almost everybody here will say souveran because it's "made" for those colors and while it does have a nice warm glow, when I tested Megs GC+ side by side I was blown away by how much deeper and wetter the Megs wax was. The color was darker and much richer with the GC+ which I assume is due to the fact that it is also rich in polishing oils.

Ever since then I put away the souveran for several reason, though I will still use it occasionally.

1) Readily available
2) Cheap
3) Darkens paint giving it a richer color
4) Easily lasts 2 months vs Souveran which will barely go over 3 weeks.

While I do agree with this post, and believe it is due to the oils, I usually go with fuzion every 3 months topped with souveran every month on my srt :)

I tend to really respect Alan's opinions. :dblthumb2:
 
I just put the Wolfgang deep sealant on a red Viper GTS and it looked amazing. I don't have any experience with show carnaubas though to offer a comparison.
 
currently i have on a coat of DP poli coat sealant topped off with collinite 845. it will make your eyes burn!
caution: this combo is going to last. until you strip it!
 
I just put a coat of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant on my red Dodge Ram this past weekend. I was very impressed with how wet it made it look.
 
BlackFire Wet Diamond topped with Wet Glaze 2.0.

I can attest to this. While I cant compare waxes as I currently have just Meguiars products I did do a test to compare which products gave me the absolute deepest wettest shine. I have both of my black BMW's that sit side by side in the garage to compare to. Both are 99% corrected to give the perfect canvas. On the Wagon was M205, NXT 2.0 with GCCP as the topper. The sedan recieved the Ultimate polish, Ultimate Wax and GCCP. The difference between the two were striking. The wagon looked like a dark dark gray compared to the deep wet shine of the sedan. Of course they were both black but the color pitch when looking at the two was really noticeable. I now use the process for the sedan on both cars now.

On your next wash, wipe down with Duragloss Aqua Wax while drying and give some feedback. :xyxthumbs:
 
There are many waxes out there that will leave the finish looking unbelievably wet but preparing the surface by polishing before laying down a nice coat of wax is the key to success here.

Many have given their opinion on what waxes have worked for them. Pinnacle, Wolfgang, BlackFire, Dodo Juice Orange Crush Soft Wax are all paste waxes and will give you the dazzling glow you're looking for but "prep first"..

Collinite 845 is a semi liquid wax that will literally knock your socks off without breaking the bank.
 
I have always been partial to Meguiar's paste M26 for red-hued/earth-toned colors. It has a great darkening effect - this also serves to emphasize the difference between the paint color and metallic flakes.

:iagree:
I also find that Poorboys Black Hole Glaze before the LSP adds to the depth of the black.

is that the GC+ paste or liquid?
 
Souveran Paste or Wolfgang Fuzion .... Dodo Hard Candy is nice too.
