LSP to darken paint??

[dschribs]

Did on search on this term and a few older threads came up.



Most commons suggestions were Clearkote Carnauba Moose wax and Meg`s 26.



Have any new products come along recently that would fit into the "darkening paint" category??



I would think a carnauba would be better suited for this than a paint sealant.

In my experience I have seen Collinite 845 and 476 darken paint as well as Wolfgang DGPS 3.0. It was VERY obvious to the eye, but I was never able to capture it well on camera.



What Are thinking about your current car or the TransAm you posted about?

The TA. I had red `68 Camaro and I used to LOVE the Red Moose Glaze/Souveran Combo. That was a show car so Souveran worked fine for me. I`ll be driving the TA much more so I`ll need better more durable protection.



The TA, is a bright red (the factory color name if I`m not mistaken) I`d like achieve a darker look to the paint. I think red always looks better darker and warmer than with a "plasticy" sealant look to it...

My Passat is Granite Green which is a medium green, but has a grey cast to it in certain light. I had a coat of DG105 on which I topped with POXY and the paint took on a darker/deeper look.

Much to my surprise, Blackfire`s All Finish Paint Protection darkened Audi silver so much that when the A8 (M16) and the S8 (BF) were side-by-side you would`ve sworn they were different paint codes!

I haven`t tested the durability, but this stuff darkens like crazy.

Here is what 476 and 845 have done to red metallic respectively.

And although the picture isn`t focused great, this is on my non metallic red truck. With Wolfgangs DGPS 3.0 on the left and 476 on the right.

there is PRO dealer near my house-i`ll have to check that out since they offer a small spray version.



Can you tell me if this is truly the LSP or can it be topped with something? Can I seal first then top with this?

Interesting that it works out that way for you. After the BF darkened Audi silver too much for me, I switched that car to UPP and no such effects at all. Don`t get it from Souveran either. Not an :argue or anything, just differing experience...

Yes, this is an LSP. It can be put over a sealant, though I never have done that. I mainly use it after a filling glaze for some dealer stuff. It`s a little bit finicky, it may streak if you`re not careful but I`ve used worse streaking waxes so not too bad. I`ve put it on a few retail jobs to darken the paint if only an Express detail and customers have been really happy with the way it looks. I don`t use it that often, only when I need to fill/darken.

See above. Not sure where you`re located, but there`s a PRO distributor in Higganum, CT called Car Washing Systems, very nice people to deal with.
