Trying to get the WETTEST, DEEPEST look on black paint?

[koko_b_ware]

Well guys, I just spent the entire last weekend detailing my F150 for the 1st time. I used a PC for the 1st time, and was very impressed with the results. Heres what I did:

1) Wash with Eagle one car wash

2)Meguiars clay with QD

3)Meguiars Dual Action Cleaner Polish / Yellow cutting pad

4)Meguiars #9 Swirl remover / White Polishing Pad

5)Meguiars NXT / Grey Finishing Pad



Now I must say, it looks pretty damm good, but its not the look I was trying to achieve. My truck is black, and now it looks like a black mirror!!

Based on my situation right now, what should I use to get a "LIQUID LOOK" for my truck? I`m considering using some #26 or Poorboys natty paste wax on top of the NXT, but want some opinions.



I`m also reading about Meguairs #7, and it sounds pretty good for a Wet look. Anyone ever used this?

Try some Meguiar`s #16, Pinnacle Souveran, etc. for a deep liquid look.



I don`t see any need for #7.

My opinion is unless you`re taking the car to the show tomorrow, don`t use #7. It gives a lot of depth to the paint but for a brief flash : )

[a.k.a. Patrick]

I love the look of #80 and Blackfire.......

Do a panel with the Natty Wax.

Do a panel with Meg #26



See which one you perfer.

If you like the #26, you will really like Pinnacle Souveran on black.



Better yet, get some Meg Final Detail QD and that will make your NXT deeper and wetter especially on black. :wavey

Get a Carnauba topper.

Update: I went down to the NAPA auto parts store and got them to order me some #16 paste wax, and # 7 glaze.



I know the #7 is kinda useless, but I wanna try it out. It was only like 12 bucks anyways. Maybe I`ll post pics in a week or so when i get around to applying it.

I don`t see any need for #7. Follow this advice for the deepest wettest look:up

I use Klasse Twins

I have used #5 #7, #26, P21S, Wolfgang, and others I can`t recall on my Jet Black BMW, but there is nothing I like better than just the Klasse twins after meticulously prepping the paint. And I think it stays looking good longer with Klasse than with the other products. Just my current thought, but I have been experimenting since I bought the car in Dec. 2002.

Souveran has given it as wet a look as I have seen on my black. A clsoe second was GEPC and S100 ( see link in signature )



Although the VM / EX-P is a pretty wet look as far as sealants go

A lot of different combos but deepest wettest try SOUVERN on black(the paste) wait 2 days and give another coat then call me in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I have not tried Souveran, I have got some nice results with other products.



NXT x 1

Hope this helps :)

If you want deep, liquid black, my first suggestion would be Clearkote`s Vanilla Moose topped with Pinnacle Souveran. Lower cost options would be VM topped with Carnauba Moose, Poorboy`s EX w/carnauba, or Meguiars #26.



EX-P or Meguiars #16 will give you are more clear wet look but won`t be quite as deep looking.

What ALAN81 said... Since your interested in using #7, as others have said skip it and use the klasse twins underneath your souveran. I think(know) you will like the results better...
