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.

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).



p.s. thats not me in the picture on the mobile phone by the way...!
