Out of curiosity, is your Nogaro Blue car one of the ones with unusually soft paint?



I never see that color with a lot of depth, not sure how but that's what I'd prioritize, judging from what you posted.



I hate to suggest trying yet another LSP (sheesh, you already have a ton of 'em!) but BlackFire, their polish and sealant used together, possibly with a topper of your Souveran, would darken/richen/deepen the paint as much as anything I've tried.



I'd *not* try the S100, the Klasse twins, or 845 for the look I think you're after (not that they're bad products or anything).



Eh...it's always tricky trying to suggest how to achieve a particular look, especially on a paint that doesn't really lean that way to begin with :nixweiss
 
Hey whats up man....I am also in Orlando. If you are interested, depending on what area of Orlando you are in, I would let you try some of my stuff out..I have some PGP, CG 50/50(which is my fave on my black pearl rsx), some FK1 Hi-Temp...and a few others....lemme know if your interested.
 
Thanks for all the responses so far, keep em coming.

Accumulator, the paint isnt very soft atleast not to my knowledge, I've worked on quite a few cars with much softer paint. In the past I have used the wolfgang sealant topped with p21s 100% with good results. I'm just picky and am looking to see if there was a better combo to try. I will have to look into the blackfire stuff.



Kind of hard to judge, but this is what the car looked like with that combo:

I'm surprised you didn't get good results with Pinnacle Souveran. I know it doesn't last very long but normally gives a deep wet look.



I don't think UPGP is the way to go. It's a great product (very easy to apply and very slick) but it won't give you the deep wet look of a quality wax.



BTW, the shots you posted look great. Which wheels are the new ones, and which are the old ones?

Bump! I picked up a few new items but havnt had a chance to try them yet. I'm getting ready to spend some time repolishing the car and wanted to get some recomendations before starting.
 
I usually only layer waxes in the winter time and for customers that want that extra little depth, but if you want to layer I'd go with 845 topped with P21S. That wax gives a very deep shine but usually fades after about 4-6 washes, but you'll have the Colly under it to assure protection.

Hm...I found P21s to be a very bright/reflective wax, sorta like 845. On my Jag, where I want depth, I was *horribly* disappointed by how P21s looked compared to Souveran (same prep).
 
Pinnacle Souveran FTW! I have a black 2006 Lancer Evolution IX, nothing has ever looked as deep/wet as the Souveran and it's very user friendly.
 
Why not try 845 as the base topped with Pinnacle Souveran? I love the look of pure Pinnacle Souveran but it really doesnt last long.



After car washes, u can touch up the paint w the DG Acquawax.
 
you really can't go wrong with any of the suggestions already posted. i'll throw one more into the mix, ck carnuba moose wax buffed off with optimum spray car wax then final wipedown with surfcity hotrod detailer. i've used this combo on my electron blue covette and until something better comes along i'm gonna stick with this combo for awhile, very wet, deep and glossy.
