Gentlemen,
I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum, but I'm not sure where else it may fit. I am hoping you may help me out with some insight. I have a 2013 chevy Silverado in blue topaz metallic. Last year I had it polished and cquartz uk applied. I have been thrilled with the durability and ease of maintenance, but it isn't quite the look I was hoping for. This color is a dark blue, that when the light hits it right has an incredible bright blue with metal flake that just pops out. Unfortunately, the cquartz I felt muted that effect and it just looked like glossy dark blue paint. I have discussed this with the detailer that I use and told him I would like to highlight or enhance the bright blue/metal flake pop and he has suggested looking at a wax. My only concerns with waxes are 1. dust attraction and 2. staining of trim. I am currently looking at 2 waxes carpro offers, WaxAddict Quartz and Bouncers Sherbet Fizz. I guess my questions are as follows:
WaxAddict Quartz:
1. Will it stain trim?
2. If carpro essence was used prior to application will it bond to the essence?
Bouncers Sherbet Fizz:
1. Will it stain trim?
2. What kind of realistic longevity am I looking at with this?
3. Do you think it will give the look I am looking for? (I know this is difficult if not impossible to answer)
I am also open to suggestions of any other products to consider, although I am not looking for any "show waxes", I would like decent longevity, preferably around 3 months or longer.
Thanks everyone!
