"Reflective" wax?

[05Sleeper]

I was wondering what the most "reflective" wax is out there. We all know that Souveran is king of the Wet look, followed by Natty's and CMW, but what is the most bright, reflective "Carnuba Wax" outthere for a light colored car?

:think: :think: :think:

I get more reflection with sealants on lighter colored cars. I've used UPP and EX-P and both give great reflections.

 

[imported_NHBFAN]

P21S or S100

 

[imported_COBRyan]

S100 is VERY reflective when used on top of EX-P. UPP by itself is incredible for a stand alone sealant.



Signature and regular Natty's seemed pretty good also. My top vote for pastes is S100 though.

 

[05Sleeper]

is EX-P more reflective than UPP?



Is there a more reflective wax than S100?

Is there a more reflective wax than S100?

Nope, but durability is limited.

 

[Glossmaster]

Natty's Blue, XXX Hardcore, Souveran, P21S get my vote.......Just to name a few.

I don't think there is a more reflective wax than S100, but Signature and Natty's are up there as well (as I mentioned). I haven't really rated OCW in the reflections department yet, but it looks promising.





As far as UPP vs. EX-P, well UPP is hands down my favorite sealant, but it doesn't like to be topped. EX-P on the other hand looks better with a topper IMO. I would definitely say that UPP is more reflective than EX-P.

I find Collinite 845 glossy and reflective

Acrylic Jett seems to be quite reflective.

Which is best between the Natty's, S100, Max Wax, or Collinite 845? :bounce

 

[imported_Neothin]

if you get snow in your area, for this time of year, 845 is a good choice for its durability.

 

[05Sleeper]

not worried about the durability. I jist want what will look nest

Define 'best'. I haven't used Max Wax but I have used the other three. In the looks department, I give a slight nod to Natty's and 845 will be the most durable.

 

[05Sleeper]

I am using "best" to describe the brightest, most vivid reflections.

Here's my picks:



Natty's (white version)

845 IW

FK1 1000p

 

[marko]

I just topped my freshly polished black car with 476s x 2 under 845iw. the 476s caused an amazingly shiney surface, but mainly what you noticed was the surface of the paint. 845iw added depth to the metallic black pearl and in comparison appears as if you can see inside the paint.

S100 and P21s look deep and wet on darker colours, on silver/light metallics though carnuba's P21S/S100, Signature, #16, Nattys, Glanz all look as reflective to me. I give the nod to Glanz as it also looks wetter to on our silver cars, the others on lighter cars I swap and change. The only two I tend not to use on lighter colours is CMW and Souveran ans the darkern the colour for me.

I've just tried #16, FX, and S100 on my white Alfa today. The edge to FX, with S100 very close behind. There was an obvious gap to #16. S100 looked the wettest, with FX the glossiest.

 

[05Sleeper]

I am not sure what FX is?



Also, If I go the S100 route, with proper prep of course, will there be a difference in look if I use AIO or GEPC before the S100? What would that difference be?
