Default Any suggestions (pics)

I used XMT 360 and I will have 2 coats of HGSG on my car after this weekend. I have not decided what to apply as a LSP. Here is what I have it narrowed down to. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Souveran ~ That is my first choice so far. (That was a nice gift from my buddy Jimmie, THANKS AGAIN )

XMT 180 I thought about using it since I started with the 360 I thought it made sense to follow the same product line

or my new Swissvax ONYX (man that stuff smells great!)

I want durability..... but.... I am going to save my Collinite 845 for winter.

My car is sliver metallic here is a few pics from yesterday.



I think you are right Richy that is becoming my signature shot





oohhhh... I could then follow up with Pinnacle Natural Brilliance Crystal Mist or AW... or is that overkill off to the garage. I will check back for your suggestions. Thanks in advance for any help!

Nice and early Tonya!

I'd skip the Souveran, a nice wax, but it won't last that long.

Not sure how long the Onyx lasts, that might be good!

out of all the paste wax's you listed, none will give as much durability as 845IW, come and just use it.... heck of alot cheaper then any of the others you listed!!!

If you use souveran or onyx, use AW weekly or bi-weekly to help keep up appearances

But I am letting 2 / two / coats of HGSG on there already for duribility and I wanted to try something new. I agree with you...... that is what I did to prep for winter!!! Darn road salt but the colinite did great.

ohh I would even if I used the 845. But thanks for the reminder!!!

Since you said please you got it! I will even try to take pics of just the HGSG before I apply the ONYX so you can see the differnce. I will warn you I stink at pics but will do my best to discribe the differnece. It might rain today so.. I am not sure when I will be done.


OK guys thanks for the suggestions it's decided. ONYX it is. I will post up a new thread when it is done. I still have a lot to do and I am really taking my time on this one
