Optimum (light cut pd )
Optimum ( polishing pad )
RMG
EX-P = X2 let cure 6-12 hours
Natty`s Blue X 2 ( then 1 more coat the week latter )

Soaking wet

the pics depict a nice beaded surface but the picture itself looks to be computer generated . could i be wrong?

The best for wet looking car that I have come up with is P-w-C, WG sealant...and spit shined with Nattys

for me that would be cool because those products you listed are in my aresenal of wax/sealants.

Yeah I would say Wolfgang and a good carnauba like signature series or souveran

95% of the wet look you achieve comes from prep work. You can wax oxidized paint, you can wax over swirls, but it`s not going to look stunning until it`s polished to perfection (or as close to perfection as possible

). Just my .02.

^^^ +1

For a wet look you need a well preped surface. Then on top of that you need a greasy oily product like a glaze or carnauba. Some sealants are getting that look without the oil. Wolfgang is one of them.

No carnauba here:

I got this look using Meg`s Deep Crystal #1 Paint Cleaner, followed by NXT paste and topped with #16 over Collinite IW (I know, overkill much :p )

Hey Don to do whatever it takes to make a car lok like that isn`t overkill. It`s worth it. Very nice indeed. Rick

i know the prep work is important i was looking to see what products were used to achieve it.

jngrbrd,
i love the that pic more and more everytime i see it. GREAT WORK!

Don,
that yellow is awsome, i`ve seen your gallery and what you did with the leather seats on the buick and and i used the same process on my leather seats as you did and i coudn`t be happier.the blue is much bolder and brighter and the leather has a soft feel to it.

AIO + Souveran is a great wet look.

**rabbi** · 11-19-2005, 09:12 AM

AIO will not remove swirls, it only cleans the paint.
