I’ve seen good results from AIO/SG and I really like the look of FMJ, but I have yet to try the new trigger, FK1, or Zanio. That said, I’m not ruling out waxes either—Pinnacle XMT carb glaze followed by Souveran looks promising.



Recommendations/experiences?
 
The wettest my car has looked is the Zaino combination Z-PC/Z6/Z2Pro/ZFX/Z8.



AIO and Souveran looks great if you want to go carnauba but you give up a lot of durability.
 
My vote goes for the Werkstatt Acrylic trigger. I just love his stuff on all colors....on light colors I don't even bother with a carnuba topper....just AJ/T alone. Super slick finish, and very reflective/wet look......and not to mention the ease of application :eek:



Here is a Apex silver EVO VIII that I used werkstatt prime on, followed by 2 coats of AJ/T:

My billit silver Honda gets AIO/SG. However, two days ago I tried Jeff's Jett over the AIO and it looks as good as the SG. In a another day or two I'll give it a swipe of Jeff's Acrylic Gloss and see what that does. The Jett looks every bit as good as the SG. Now the question is will the Jett's durability be as good?

I will go with your vote as well and mention that it also does a nice job on wheels. also durability has been great for me so far :cool:

Thanks for the inputs all--I'm leaning towards Werstatt w/Souveran topper. I'll likely go with AJ for those who don't want to do the maintainance.
 
I've had really good experiences with the XMT 'nuba finishing glaze. I did a champagne G35 with it and then topped with natty's blue. Even in direct sunlight, the wetness was quite evident.
 
Wet, on Silver? That's tuff. Slick, yes. No offence but Silver just is a tuff color to make look "WET". I say go with the ever so famous Clay, AIO, Z2-Pro combo. The LSP, well since it's Silver I say go with Natty's or S100/P21S. The following day ofcorse(24hr cure time).

AJ is a very wet looking sealant, basically, the advantage Souveran has is additional depth. I'd try Prime/AJ and see how you like it first and then toss Souveran into the mix as an additional cost option.
