Question Pink Wax over Natty's Blue???

Well I just got done with a pretty big detail on my car, I put 5 layers of Natty's Blue on it and it looks great, I love the look of the Natty's Blue But I was wondering if it would look any wetter, deeper, glossier, shinier with FK1 Pink Wax......????

Not that Natty's Blue is bad but in my opinion you can always have a deeper shine.....Will the Pink Wax give me this...or is it not worth my time....?? I guess I am feeling the need to do more!!

I am also wanting to try the #425 QD...what ya think??

Thanks
Brent

Wont make much difference. I like the look of NB better but PW is easier on and off.

FK 425 is above average. I dont buy the anti-static claims but I do think for the money its a good product. Only QDs I like better is Qwikshine and Z6.

KGB, have you tried the 425 on a TV screen??? This product doesn't need you to 'buy' the AS property. It works however, and works in fact, excellent.

Back to the original question; the PW-NB relation is interesting because if the emphasis on wetness and gloss, the PW/NB is the route to go. PW on NB will give a sharper, more reflective look, adding more depth and accenting shine.

No I havent tried on a TV screen and I do not need you to tell me that it works when I have tried it on my car and it clearly doesnt.

No I do not. I have a full gallon and it works well as a QD, I am just stating that the AS that it advertises have not proved to work for me.
Good night.

antistatic doesnt mean it repels dust from settling on the surface, its not a damn force field.

Exactly! It can be confusing, but people are expecting different results.

I think Pink Wax and Natty's Blue give such different looks that I'd use one or the other personally. If you top one with the other, the original layer is going to be pretty much invisible, IMO. I'd go with RMG/PW or NB and maintain it with your carnauba QD of choice.

Regarding 425, I personally don't find it to be anything spectacular. It's a nice QD, yeah, but there are others I like just as well if not better (Griot's Speed Shine, Clearkote Quikshine, Adam's Detail Spray, Sonus AS, UGE, to name a few...)

I also noticed no less dust accumulation, no less of a tendency to become dusty, any of that jazz from the 425. I haven't tried it on my TV screen because I bought it to use on my car's paint.
