Opinions on LSP for Red Tiburon

volvoguy · 08-22-04, 12:04

Im about ready to do a Rally Red Tiburon of my G/f's mother. Its brand new and I plan on using AIO first. Now the car sits outside all the time, never garaged, and I want the LSP to last for at least 3 or 4 months. The problem is that since it is outside I have no shade to work with and this could make using SG quite a pain in the A$$. Im wondering what anyone would think would look great and have a good level of protection. Besides SG I have EX-P, EX- both of which I know can be used in the sun, NXT, WG, and Autoglym. Im just not sure what I should use as an LSP and any comments would be greatly appreciated

Do you ahve any #16 or other waxes, or just sealants?? If you have a wax, i would say NXT + #16 (or other wax), it looks absolutly amazing on red! If not, then i would say to go with the wolfgang, I too has a really deep shine on red.

Here is Wolfgang prewax polish, NXT, #16 on a red eclipse (notice the letters reflected in the bumper!):

Thanks, I also forgot I have Natty's Paste wax, P21S and Some Souveran. But for 40 dollars I was just gonna try and keep it to two steps.

It's your GF's MOM!! Use the wax

Actually if you want to keep it a 2 step, what are you using as your first step?? DACP or a similar polish?

I plan on starting with AIO, since the car is brand new with no scratches, also since AIO will add some protection itself, then I was thinking either WG or Ex-P, and if im feeling generous some Nattys or Pinnacle. How does that combo sound?

that sounds like a good plan. As for the choice of WG vs EX-P, i would say if it has pearls in the paint to use EX-P, if it is a straight color, then use WG. EX_P seems to highlight pearls, and WG is a really deep wet LSP on non metallic paints. That is just my personal observation.

Here are some examples:
WG on a Red X5
EX-P on a metallic ford explorer
