I’ve seen good results from AIO/SG and I really like the look of FMJ, but I have yet to try the new trigger, FK1, or Zanio. That said, I’m not ruling out waxes eitherâ€â€Pinnacle XMT carb glaze followed by Souveran looks promising.
Recommendations/experiences?

The wettest my car has looked is the Zaino combination Z-PC/Z6/Z2Pro/ZFX/Z8.
AIO and Souveran looks great if you want to go carnauba but you give up a lot of durability.

My vote goes for the Werkstatt Acrylic trigger. I just love his stuff on all colors....on light colors I don`t even bother with a carnuba topper....just AJ/T alone. Super slick finish, and very reflective/wet look......and not to mention the ease of application :eek:
Here is a Apex silver EVO VIII that I used werkstatt prime on, followed by 2 coats of AJ/T:

I had KSG topped with OCW during the winter and that looked really good on my silver truck.

My billit silver Honda gets AIO/SG. However, two days ago I tried Jeff`s Jett over the AIO and it looks as good as the SG. In a another day or two I`ll give it a swipe of Jeff`s Acrylic Gloss and see what that does. The Jett looks every bit as good as the SG. Now the question is will the Jett`s durability be as good?

I will go with your vote as well and mention that it also does a nice job on wheels. also durability has been great for me so far :cool:

Werkstatt`s Prime topped with Souveran would be the deepest and wettest.

Thanks for the inputs all--I`m leaning towards Werstatt w/Souveran topper. I`ll likely go with AJ for those who don`t want to do the maintainance.

I`ve had really good experiences with the XMT `nuba finishing glaze. I did a champagne G35 with it and then topped with natty`s blue. Even in direct sunlight, the wetness was quite evident.

Wet, on Silver? That`s tuff. Slick, yes. No offence but Silver just is a tuff color to make look "WET". I say go with the ever so famous Clay, AIO, Z2-Pro combo. The LSP, well since it`s Silver I say go with Natty`s or S100/P21S. The following day ofcorse(24hr cure time).

AJ is a very wet looking sealant, basically, the advantage Souveran has is additional depth. I`d try Prime/AJ and see how you like it first and then toss Souveran into the mix as an additional cost option.
