What type of LSP looks best at night?

My black garage queen is out at night 99% of the time and is rarely out during the day. What type of LSP would excel looks-wise? A sealant with lots of gloss and reflections or a wet look carnauba?

At night I do a bit of street driving, some local car shows/street meets, and of course runs at the drag strip

I currently have UPP x 2 applied and I love the look... I'm wondering how a wet look carnauba would compare under the conditions the car is most exposed to.

T. Perinne,

I think your current UPPx2 would be one of the best looks for night time viewing. I also would recommend EX-P as well. Both are very clear and reflective.

Cheers,

On black? I'd say Pinnacle Souveran or Carnauba Moose. The deep liquid glow is apparent at night with both products.

Zaino looks great at night for it's ability to reflect light. Either z or a good quality nuba also like s100.

Virtually anything looks good at night. The lights are more forgiving, much like candle light is more flattering for your better half on a romantic evening

I had never really noticed it before, but Zaino looks amazing at night. All the Christmas lights just made it sparkle-you would see little pin-point reflections and then a glow around them. Very cool.

AIO/Souveran is my choice on black. The black gets deeper and very wet looking with the Souveran while the AIO provides the reflectivity. AIO/S100 is excellent too. The Klasse twins also look great by having about 95% of the wetness of AIO/Souveran but having more reflectiveness. Neon signs and parking lot lights are very vivid with the Klasse twins. Still, for overall nighttime aesthetics, I prefer AIO/Souveran.

on black and a properly prepped finish anything w/AIO as a base will look good. I love the look of AIO/WG/P21S. AIO/EXP will leave a good shine top that w/ natties or p21 or s100

at night time, even a light dust or dirt looks good as a lsp. just put on what you like, if you like reflection, go with SG or zaino, if you like deep wet glow, go with natty's or somethin similar

Zaino Z2 Pro looks especially nice at night on my Dolphin Gray '02 Audi A4.
