I voted sealant/carnauba combo, but I don't do it all the time...I always top WG, EX-P, SG, VM, AIO and NXT. I never top UPP or DP PSS - I really like their looks and it would be shame to lose their slickness.

I was in complete agreement with you until this :

Thats UPP covered with Souveran. I was to lazy to strip it after last UPP coating. What I found was UPP is extremely close in look to one of the best known sealant competitors, yet easier to use (no mixing) and slicker to boot. While durability is lower, it truly is not an issue because it is so darn easy to add a quick layer. I have the super reflective UPP nature, and the wetness and depth only a true carnuba could offer.

I am currently trying Nattys Blue ... and at its price point, I can see no other choice for a topper.

While Natty's is a great bargain, I hate removing it! I feel like I need a chain saw compared to Sig Series2, P21s, ect.

I must hold that comment in abience until I get a chance to compare for my self. I know that the UPP shine is there because I have seen it on a good detailers car. I did not touch it because the paint was in such good condition out of respect for the owner of the vehicle it would have been imprudent.

I have UPP on order. I want to experience a product that is slicker than that reputable product that one has to mix.
 
I'm also a fan of synthetic wax topped with carnauba. UPP is an excellent choice, as is EX-P, and a bunch of others. I really don't find a big difference between most synthetic waxes, and I have tried most of them. :D Yes, UPP does have a bit more of the carnauba look, and in my opinion, is an excellent base on dark colors.

To be honest, Mothers' new Reflections Car Wax is as good as, and in some cases better (looks wise) than many of them. Especially on dark colors. On it's own, it looks fantastic. Topped with Souveran... WOW!

Natty's is also a fine choice. I have no trouble removing it... light, thin coats, let it haze, and it buffs off quite easily. Of course, it is a diffferent removal process than a WOWO product like Souveran, or P21S.

I'm with you. The Reflections line is very impressive.

Well, if you like a product that is easy to use, the new Reflections Car Wax applies and removes incredibly easy. Same goes for FX Synwax.

Suprisingly, the price for the Reflections Car Wax here at AutoGeek is around $3 less than any of the local stores around me. So, pick some up on your next order. :D

Another product that doesn't get disscussed much, but is also a fine product, is Souveran Liquid Wax. No, it's not Souveran paste, but nice nonetheless... and very easy to use.

I concur whole heartedly!! Although it is not my favorite product it is my favorite product to apply. Liguid Souveren is by far the easiest product that I have ever used to apply and remove. The consistency of the product easily facilitates a thin application. The resulting shine is very pleasing

is their a difference between liquid souveran and paste souveran?

Very big difference. Liquid Souveran is much more durable due to the use of polymers that enhance durability. It can also be allowed to dry, and thus you could coat the entire car prior to removing. Its very glossy looking but missing a little depth. Truly a nice choice for a liquid wax, and very easy to use with nice results.

Souveran is more of a pure carnuba concoction with bleached ivory carnuba being the main ingredient. It is suppose to be WOWO with the wax still being removed while slightly damp. While it isnt very cheap, its quality stands out and you will get 30+ applications per jar when used as directed.
 
I agree with Dave, Souveran is one product the customer will always like.
 
I have several LSPs and combos that I consider my favorites.
Souveran paste over WG sealant on black is great.
I picked up a bottle of liquid souveran this year and I really like it. I am not sure why it doesn't get more positive comments. It is easy to use and looks great on our metallic blue Si.
Liquids get extra points with me since I tend to apply just about everything via machine.
 
What color is your ride?? light blue metallic????
