Well i used dacp on my car and it removed the heavy swirls and such. now what is good to use after that? a good combo for red? i hear good things about vm and ex-p but are there other good combos? thanks.

maybe follow up with 81, then apply a couple coats of NXT

**Intense2jz** · 07-16-2004, 02:14 AM

1)dacp, #80, s100

2)Klasse twins(AIO,SG), s100

3)dacp, vm, ex-p

Or whichever other combos you like. thanks.

After I`ve removed scratches with DACP...

My `secret` is AutoMagic`s #76 GS-1 polish.

Foam finishing pad on the PC.

On black and red, it leaves the finish just perfect, everytime!

No fillers. Really a great product...

Follow with the Klasse Twins (SGx2) and S100. Bling, Bling! Without fail.

Klasse twins! Excellent protection against the three paint-killer juices - tree jiuce, bug juice and bird juice. After 3 x SG, the maybe a little Souveran.

The word `best` is far too subjective.

You should let us know what kind of look you want to achieve (depth, wetness, reflectivity, gloss, glow, etc)

For my money, nothing has touched Wolfgang x 3 on my red integra.

It absolutely glows. Good Luck.

how does the VM, ex-p,s100 combo look on red?

I didn`t like EX-P on the two red`s I have done (mine and Imola Red). It seemed to take away from the depth of the color. However, I topped the Imola Red with Clearkote`s CMW and it looks amazing. I think S100 would give a similar look.

On another note, I will be attending Poorboy`s detailing meet tomorrow and giving EX a shot on my car...I will be sure to post results.

I like Wolfgang, Wolfgang/S100, and VM/S100 on my red z28.

I am re-thinking my vm, ex-p, s100 combo on my red. I have to look into wolf gang or maybe go with the favorite AIO, SG, but for a beginger SG is fairly hard to apply, AIO is easier. so maybe vm, AIO, s100?

Pinnacle paintwork cleanser and then Souveran.

I like Carnubas or Blackfire on reds. Prep is important. This 190 does not have a clear coat. I used DACP then GEPC, both applied with a PC. For the top coat, I used Blackfire.

The finish glows, and is deep red. Given the lack of a clear coat, Blackfire should provide some level of long term protection. Blackfire works well when topped with a Carnuba, which is what I will do for this car.

Lou: Do you use BF or BF2...If both, which to you prefer and why?

**square** · 07-16-2004, 09:15 PM

BFII. have never used the older BF, so can`t comment on it.

BFII has a great finish, and is easy to use if thin layers are applied. However, that deep wet look goes away after a wash. My favorite combo is BFII topped with either Pinnacle or Zymol. The carnuba keeps that wet look longer than BFII by itself.

I am still evaluating the longevity of BFII. I think BFII with a carnuba topper is a good compromise for a daily driver. Good looks and good protection.

Reds, go and see my pics of my SC430 here and some on the homepage of Poorboy`s World.

This was done with one coat of EX-P.

Tomorrow, we have a Poorboy`s World Detail Day and will show what it looks after applying Nattys carnuba on one area and Souveran on another.

So far, I`ve come to love Souveran on reds and blacks. Just makes them look the deepest wettest I can find.
