I have an Acadia Green Subuaru Impreza Outback, and most waves do an OK job, but they don`t really bring out the brilliant green color. Basically I need better depth. Here`s an old, pre-PC pic of the paint color (the swirls are gone now :D ):

I love the reflections I get with NXT, but I want something to help bring out not only the reflections but also the color.
Thanks!

AIO/WG/Nattys :xyxthumbs

Maybe a combo like Poorboy`s EX and Natty`s Blue. If you really want to spend some cash PS does a good job on dark colors.

My wifes Jeep Liberty is natively a little darker than that and until today I had EX and Nattys-Blue and it did a real good job darkening and making the finish glossier and deeper. Souveran would probably do even a better job.
I am in the process of putting WG on it over AIO, and after I get WG x3 then I`ll apply some Nattys-Blue. Again I hope to darken the finish and make it glossier like I did with the EX and Nattys-Blue.
On that color, I would consider something like this...
Z2-Pro and Z8, Z6 QD
or...
Mothers`s Synwax, topped with Reflections Top Coat, and QD`ed with Meguiar`s Last Touch detail spray.

If I were going to use something that I have here, I would probably pick NXT or EX-P. I`d probably consider topping the EX-P with original Natty`s. Mike (1 Clean WS6) used original natty`s on a metallic silver-ish G35 and it was POPPIN!

Put more effort into the polishing. That`s what makes the difference.
A well prepared surface will make any wax look good.

Agreed...although I think EX-P or a similarly clear and wet sealant would look best on that color.
Both topped with EX-P after proper prep:

Id say Ex-p or WG myself as the sealant to allow the flake pop and then top with Nattys Blue.

What products would give the most "reflective" look? On silver?

Arylic Jett, EX-P, Z-2, UPP, etc. Silver plus sealants = :drool:
