The cons...
I like to play with products...
Still can I guess...
Figured I`d put it up for Autopia review....

Nope. Wax or sealant (or both) on a garage queen. What are you going to play with after its all coated?

I have no idea. Probably Fuzion spray or synergy or souveran spray or dodo hybrid Nano
Honestly I think i just want to spend some time detailing my car. Rainy weekend. Garage is nice. I`ve been working on everybody else`s Mopar and taking pictures of their car next to mine and I laugh with my friends because I tell them that`s the only time I see a Mopar that looks better than mine (to my eyes)...lol
But all those Mopars that I turned out... I told them upfront... your car will look better with Nuba on it, but since you don`t maintain it properly you need a coating.

Waxing over a coating defeats the purpose of the coating. I think coatings are more for daily drivers and folks that don`t want the hassle of maintaining their car. I coat my wife`s car because she is not going to take care of it like I would. I like the warm carnauba glow on garage queens. Pinnacle Souveran over PA sealant would be a good choice.

Well my car has pblv1 x2 at 366 days today exactly.
Its a tad marred once I used the iron remover to strip my half year of nattys layers.
Tiny micro marring. Test spot of black hole and it was filled..so thinking
Black hole it....then play with waxes or sealant or combos.
I do ,however, plan to polish and CSL and EXO the front bumper...just for protection sake...just need to check for chips first as I know I need to fix some on my hood so dr color chip is gonna be ordered soon.
On the other hand...if I put just CSL on certain areas of the car I could check how csl `toppers` work for my potential future jobs.

It just occurred to me that I am quite certain I didn`t own Essence when I polished my car last year prior to pbl.
Now I want to polish the one year old pbl off with essence and then seal/wax or coat.
I`m missing some stock shine prior to lsp, lol
I might have a problem. Haha

I`m thinking whatever you decide to use is NOT on your shelves yet.
You`ll have to choose from the Autopia store.

Fuzion spray (on way) vs souveran spray (on clean car as is) was my initial thought
But I definitely can`t say I won`t end up doing something to it before that mystery bag comes in, lol

You make a great point. I`ve always wondered what white diamond would do on metallic black...
Why not, lol
Those 2 12oz bottles (from a trade) aren`t gonna use themselves.

On a black garage queen....LOTS OF WAX
Try McKee`s jeweling wax, corrects light defects, and goodness it produces some serious gloss and depth. Then proceed to top with your array of Natty`s
This is what I`m doing with my car at the moment actually

You ask me if you used too much ????
gotta be some sort of irony in that question.
