Best polish/wax combo for a black car?

Man, I really love that wet, liquid look of Souveran, but hate the price of that stuff. Anything cheaper give a similar appearance??

I`ve been getting real good results with S100/P21S and Clearkote`s Carnauba Moose. Meguiars #16 Pro Paste and Poorboy`s Natty Wax are also excellent products. Any of them should get you 90-95% of the Souveran look at about 1/4th to 1/3rd the price.

Well, I have tried s100, but it appears more reflective than wet and liquid. Haven`t tried the other ones, any idea which one will give the liquid look?? Like to buy the one that does this look, something different than the s100 that I presently have.

After a bunch of reading and research on here along with studying the pictures that people post on here, this what I am going to use;



On my black and navy blue metallic cars, after a very thorough prep, I am going to use AIO/SG for protection and then top it with Pinnacle Souveran since the blue car is for shows and the black is for fair weather and I want it to look as good as possible. I am going to use P21S on my truck, which is a lighter color, and I want to do it more often since it is an all weather car.

I read somewhere on Autopia that carnuba over AIO is fine but not over SG...something to do with the solvents and wax deteriorating the SG coat....

good luck with it...my 2 cents...being a noob myself...is that it seems most people would agree with the AIO / S100 (or p21s) combo...I`m concidering AIO with Meg`s #16 or Collinite`s 047 just `cause I`m lazy and don`t want to wax more than neccesary...but if I didn`t mind waxing the concensus seems to be S100





PS I just reread that thread I put the link in for and people here seem to think AIO/SG?Carnuba is fine....it seems poperautocare.com is the one recommending against it...

Hi lairdness,



I think some of the Carnauba waxes also have cleaners or chemicals in them which might remove some of the SG but the Souverän Wax and P21S have no cleaners in them and are supposed to be pure wax only. At least that it what I have read.

I`d agree that it is best to use paste wax instead of liquid over sealants.
