What LSP or combination of products do you use to create the shine of some sweet candy? I like the look of almost adding a second coat of clear. For me I like the look of a few layers of Ultima paint guard plus. Collinte 845 gives a similar look as well. What do you use for that look?
 
Most of the sealants will give you a candy look. Some like the look some don't. I got some dodo hard candy and will see this summer what it does.
 
Meg UCwith a DA and then 3 coats of Ultima does it for me too....I still marvel every time I see my DD after a month or so. This rear qtr panel is about the best pic I have showing it, it looks deep and clear - like candy!

I'm gonna have to throw in another vote for the Klasse twins. Other sealants are shinny and wet looking, Klasse literally looks like a candy shell.
 
If its light colors I like Werkstat Acrylic prime and jett.. massive combo. If its on mid tones.. Dodo juice Banana Armour just makes the flakes pop!
 
I'm with glen e. Multiple coats of Ultima Paint Guard Plus really does the "candy trick" for my Blizzard White Pearl RAV4.
 
I will add. I have yet to find anything that produces the same Bright Candy Coating that the Klasse Twins do.

Last winter I had 3 layers on my wife's car and multiple times see made the comments that when she looked at her car she was amazed at how bright and shiny it looked even though she new that she had driven it for over a week in the muck and grime. She stated that it seemed to glow thought the grime.

I guess I need to get the Klasse twins, or just the high shine I guess.

If you are going with the Klasse twins, be sure to research the forums on KHGSG. Applied improperly, it is a pita to remove. Done right, it can still be a bit finicky. Good looking lsp, though.
 
Anyone try Meg's #26 Yellow Hi-Tech Liquid Wax? I find that it produces a bright, high gloss, non wet look finish. For a wet look candy coating I like DG 501 topped with DG 111.

For a bright "candy" look, Klasse is among my favorites as well!
 
A tip if you're having trouble removing KSG.
Get one of those little misting bottles. Fill it with distilled water.
When the KSG is applied too heavily, it's a bear to buff off. Young guys can get a little moisture on it by breathing on it then buffing.
I pass out when I do that now. Not as young as I used to be.
The misting bottle works like a champ for those hard buffing times.
