hey all, first post here so be gentle

here is my situation, i have two vehicles i take care of, 2010 equinox (wifes) and mine is a 2008 gmc sierra z71 4X4. both vehicles are silver in color with metallic flakes. im gonna use klasse aio, then here is where i need some help. what to top with?? i dont have any polishers so this is gonna be by hand. im torn between collonite 845, pinnalce sig series 2 and liquid souveran. i know this is a popular topic and ive read many posts on it but i was wondering which would look better on that type of paint? i may wind up with both if the wife will approve and use one of the pinnacles in the summer and the 845 in the winter since it seems to last longer. im currently in the process of clay barring the sierra right now. that baby is dirty!! thanks in advance.

Welcome to AG!!

How great the paint looks is going to be controlled buy how well it is polished.
In all honesty the lsp is not going to make enough difference to worry much about as far as looks go. And if you do see some minute amount of difference it will be viewed as better or worse in contrast... depending on the viewer. Sorry I didn't answer your question. Others will chime in but I did want to say Welcome to AG! Im the MAN
 
thank u sir! and you do have a very valid point sir. beauty is in the eye of the beholder
 
Personally, I think of wax the same way as I think of big screen televisions. If you go into Best Buy and look at each television individually, you'll probably be blown away. It's only when you step back and compare them all at once, in the same location, under the same conditions, that you can start to pick out their differences.

I think you'll be extremely happy with any one of the quality waxes that are offered today. The only way you'll really notice a difference in their looks is if you apply each wax to your car in sections, and can really see any difference, which will more than likely be minimal.

This is just my thought process, and it helps me stay sane. I don't feel the need to have 37 different waxes on my shelf since I know the one or two that I have look great!

Welcome to Autogeek Online!

What part of Alabama are in you in?


As for your choice of wax, as already mentioned the most important factor that will efect the end results is the prep work steps,

Washing
Claying
Paint Correction
Polishing

Then pick the wax that intrigues you the most and seal up all your hard work.


How many car waxes do you need?

Waxes and paint sealants are to men like shoes are to women, you can never have too many​

y2ksvt i think ur right on the money. mike i live about fourty miles north of birmingham, and prolly the best analogy ive heard in a while! thanks for all the responese!!
 
If I didn't have a 4mo. old son and if we weren't doubling our mortgage payment with the bigger house we're in the middle of buying, I might justify having every wax known to man in my garage. This is just a hobby to me. I don't need AutoGeek to break my wallet; my family already does a great job of it! :laughing:

yes sir i know the feeling, got a 2 yr old son myself. got two car payments and a mortgage. money can be tight around here lol but i can pick up a shift or woextra if need be but i want it to be justified lol. 12 hrs shifts in a cruiser can be pretty rough and i work enough as it is!!!
 
Also what good on polished alluminum wheels and for tires?
 
You'll get all sorts of answers for each. I don't have much experience with wheel cleaners and polishes, but I'm currently using DP tire gel and I love it. A little bit goes a long way and it dries to the touch after about an hour. It doesn't sling off and has a really nice look. Not super shiny, but still noticeable. And it lasts quite a while in my experience.
