Correct! It is more difficult to get a good smooth shine on a darker color because darker colors reflect alot more. This is where alot of people will go through dozens of products to find the one that works best for them. However, I have never found a product that looks good on a dark color but didn't look good on a lighter one. SO if you find something that looks good on a dark blue, black or dark red color, it will likely do fine on silver, grey or white. The reverse is not necessarily true. Most of the people here who swear by their choices, such as me, do so because they have a dark colored car and can use one product both on their stang and other vehicles of other colors with good results. For example, I've triedZymol liquid on my white Lexus with great results, but it's just aweful on my stang. Dull haze eveywhere. So a gift to a neighbor it becomes, and back to the store to try something else and checking Consumer Reports ratings each year for reference too. And so onand so on over the years until I found proucts that seem do to well everywhere. This is how I finally settled on NXT and ICE. Oh, and NuFinish is excellent too for a Fall polish that lasts 'til Spring too!

You can get the same stuff as Adam's (literally) here.

This site is awesome... and has great products.

This detail spray is the best I have ever used.. and gives my car a mirror finish even when I just spot clean (wet, spray on detail spray, dry with microfiber, buff with microfiber).

I have tried many other detail sprays and this one is by far provides the best dust resistance, lubricity (can use it as a waterless wash), and shine. Way cheaper to buy a gallon of the good stuff than buy little bottles at AutoZone.


As far as a wax... I actually went back to Mequiar's gold and cleaner waxes. I use Butter Wax (same as Adam's) for shows because it goes on and off easy.. but does not last. I use Turtle Wax Ice for all of my flat black trim.. and occasionally use it as a glaze after I apply wax. Ice really is not a wax substitute.

Pete's 53 (from the site above) is what I use when I really need a silky smooth crazy shine. The stuff does not last.. but it nothing beats it for the short term.. and it smells good too.

Finally, I use this to take off scratches... and as a once a year post-claybar polish. I use it by hand.. and it is easy to work with. Does a great job at removing little blemishes.. and it is a great sealer.
