    The metal flakes take away from the deep black look and make the car look more very dark gray.

    I am trying to get it to look as deep, dark, gloss, black - as possible...
    ah, ah, now I get it, good description.
    In my experience, depth and darkness come from Carnauba with fillers and/or a propensity to "work" on dark colors.
    I can recommend waxes based on my experience owning black and dark blue vehicles, but your search for the LSP or LSP combo that works could get expensive. You might consider enjoying the metal flake pop that Ford intended. Anyway, here`s some money wasters on your way to deep black nirvana:
    ... DoDo Blue Velvet, or DoDo Purple Haze topped with Blue Velvet.
    ... Natty`s Blue on top of Black Hole (These are Poorboy`s products)
    ... Zymol Carbon.
    ... Chemical Guys Black Light, or EZ Creme Glaze then Black Light.

    Those are waxes i have personally used, can vouch for, and that *may* have the effect you`re looking for. You might also consider some of the black waxes out there (waxes that are literally black), from Blackfire, Chemical Guys, Meg`s, and others.

    good luck.

    I have a tuxedo black taurus and it looks great out of direct sun, however with direct light the metallic makes the paint look hazy. The heavy metallic does "hide" minor imperfections from DD.

    My favorite go to is Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Pro topped with Purple haze (gives about 2 months beading) which IMPO mutes the flake. For longevity and gives a very glassy look DG601/105 then a coat of DG111 but the flake really pops.
