Default Lusso ?

Does Lusso oro Mute flakes? I use SS II and P21S100% on Metallic cars but I am running low on them both and wanted to try something new.

I've heard Lusso makes the flakes pop, but I don't know if it does as much as P21s100%. I have yet to find a wax that makes the flakes pop as much as 100%. Have you tried Pete's 53? It also makes the flakes pop nicely. Top anything with Fk 425 for added pop.

I wouldn't say that Lusso mutes flakes. It's a very easy to use wax, and it looks fantastic.

The only thing that disappointed me was its durability and the beading.

Want to make the flakes really pop ? Use CG WMF and top with either ZCS or Z8. Nothing I have tried has made them pop more than this.

WMF does make flakes pop like crazy but I am not a big Zaino fan.

Interesting, never really paid attention to WMF. Man CG has so many LSPs, LoL.

For flake popping I have to say a good sealnt like Z2p can't be beat. Zaino is one of the most optically clear LSP's I have ever used.
