Supernatural should give you the look your after. The only other wax I could think of that will improve the look is Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax, this is really more suited to red and black coloured cars though:

Cars look awesome just as it is though  :wink:

the car looks great steve :wink: thats proberly the wettest looking your going to get it tbh,
try another layer of SN which will give it a bit more depth and wetness but just to put you strate :smiley: white cars are very hard to get the wet slick look from due to there colour really, darker and warmer coloured cars show this off better than lighter coloured ones.

did you give the car a second buff after removing the cured SN? this will help remove any remaining wax thats still gassing from application. SN benefits from a second buffing about 30mins to an hour after first application and removal.

from your pics though mate it does look really nice :wink:

right... have you tried adding a glaze? something along the lines of megs no.7 or poorboys white diamond glaze? this will help before your sealant and LSP. I use megs no.7 and it always impresses me.

as for wax have you considered Glacier from Swissvax? They get very good write ups.

Glacier contains 40% ultra pure Brazilian Grade 1 carnauba and is for white cars and ONLY WHITE CARS. It's highly dirt repellent formulation works to minimise the effect and appearance of "black run marks" after rain. It also delivers an amazing shine 200ml

For a quick fix I always use a Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer when I've just finished washing the car.... it seems to give a good finish and a wet look in my opinion. This is on top of the wax which the VW dealership put on. Love you car mate (nice wheels).

you'd get better results using a QD which has some form of Carnauba content... something like gtechniq C3 or perhaps something more akin to a sealant like DJ Red Mist

Cheers for the heads up on the other QD products. Never heard of those products before to be honest, but I'll definatly give them a go next time.

Thanks MAW73

Thanks for your comment!! Yours is the best coulor too. For quick detailing spray I use Chemical Guys Pro detaler this stuff is amazing, and its much more gentle on top of your wax!! I do rate chemaical guys products much more than Meguiar's?? Open to feedback around this though?? Thanks Steve :cool:
