White Pearl - wax/sealant combo?

I figured I would put some info. in on this topic. Subaru has had a few problems with there white pearl to where it begins to develop small orange spots, that almost look like rust. My mother has the same color legacy. They were developing on the front here and there. I looked into a few subaru forums and people had the same complaint. Basically what I found from my reading was that if people did not clean the bugs off consistently on the front, the acid from the bug bodies was reacting with the metal flake in the paint. So I have been very good about having her keep the front clean consistently. I just wanted to give you a heads up to save you some headache in the future. Sorry if this is too off topic everyone.
 
I'm not a fan with topping with 2 different brand products. It's like mixing and matching. You can do 2 coats of the same product. JMO.

I guess that's another option I should consider! I assumed that since the Natty's is made for light paint it might bring out the color more, and then have the Collinite for durability. Maybe I'm making too many assumptions? LOL

I had no idea about this, thanks for the info! Luckily I have a clear bra covering most of the front of the car, but I'll be sure to keep an eye out for bugs on the paint...thanks again for the heads-up!

Many people top sealants with carnauba! I just don't like mixing products, unless they're intended to be mixed. It's a matter of personal preference. Just not something I would do. :) If I had to put 2 coats of something, I'd use the same product.

I just used the menzerna poly lock sealant last night for the first time and I was very impressed with the wet look and slickness. In my opinion it looks much better then wg dgps 3.0. It's easy to use compared to wg and much easier use then js109.
