Jetting ? sometimes called optical depth comes from an applied product that is two-dimensional, so that light is reflected from both a high and low source, the light waves are distorted (diffuse reflection) which creates a three dimensional illusion of depth to produce jetting (a rippling effect, the so-called ?wet-look) The oils that are formulated in Carnauba waxes provide gloss, this distorts the light reflectance, giving the surface the ?look? of liquidity, like a mirror in shallow water reflecting a three-dimensional deep colour, in contrast, bees wax, paraffin wax, and some synthetic waxes tend to occlude the surface
The aesthetics of a vehicles appearance is very subjective to say the very least, added to by manufactures marketing claims, its a very grey area, the only best wax or sealant that really matters is what looks `best` to you
In the final analysis it all come down to; 85% preparation, 5% product, 7% application methodology and the balance is in the ?guy? of the beholder
