I’d like to see if I can get a bit
more depth, get the pearl to pop
a little more any suggestions?
I’ve used chemical guys jet seal and
50/50, pinnacle sovereign liquid wax.
•I can see why you are wanting more
depth/pop...If you are in fact saying that:
1.) you originally applied a Sealant; then:
2.) you applied a Wax on top of the Sealant;
3.) then: you applied a “Hybrid Sealant” on
top of the Wax.
Yep, IMO: you gummed-up the works.
Allow me to clarify:
____________________________________
•Since you mentioned you are good with
your paint correction/polishing—after all
that’s where the biggest majority (~90/95%)
of the shine/pop/depth/etc. comes from—I’ll
focus on the roles, if any, your selection and
the application order of the last step products
you list play in the furtherance of making the
paint have more depth/pop (the last remaining
~5-10%).
•Based solely on my experiences:
-Sealants, being crystal clear when fully
cured, have a better track record of making
Metallic paints pop than do Waxes—which
have the tendency to “gray out”—that will,
ultimately, mute the flakes in Metallic paints.
-Additionally, as to #3.) above:
It’s not settled-Science, but it’s a “Best
Practice” to not apply a Sealant on top
of a Wax (the Pinnacle product over 50/50).
•Back to the core issue, I’ll suggest
the following:
-Wait awhile and enjoy the current level of
the fruits of your labor (and money spent)
-Later...In about a month, or so:
1.) Re-polish: to remove all existing LSPs
2.) Then perform a ‘refining’ polishing step:
trying to squeeze out the max gloss/shine/pop
3.)[Although I’ll second Detail Kitty’s Wolfgang
DGPS recommendation]...Apply the Sealant of
your choice. Wait and allow this application to
cure for at least 12 hours. Then, If so desired:
4.) Apply one more layer of the same Sealant
you just applied ~12 hours prior.
5.) Enjoy the ride
Yep...that’s it: No need to gum-up the works.
