Black Betty---those are some awesome shots of a great detail-----those shots really make the paint look flawless----thanks for the pics. You have it going on for sure.
Seer, if not Dawn, then would you go to a wash, claybar, then polish to remove the wax prior to applying Sealant, or would there be another approach you would suggest to effectively and safely prepare the surface?

Wash/Clay/Polish will strip all your previous wax/sealant. Some people hate using Dawn because it does dry out trim. I personally haven't had the issues some do because I don't do it often. There are milder alternatives like Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Clear that are much better because they are designed to do it safely.

That'll remove anything
Or just wash the Car with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Clear, mixed 2.5oz of soap per 1gal of water.

BenDriver - Claying will remove most anything you have in terms of protection. Claybarring should be a included in your full detail so you don't have to worry too much about your wash.
Like Seer and Blackjack said, don't wash with Dawn. That's 1980s technology
, there are a bunch of new tech washes to aid in removing any previous protection.

I dunno... but I don't think any other color can get the BO's depth, gloss and shine. It's something that only the BO can bring to the table, which I believe is why we BO owners put up with BO paint. Trust me, I also wish we could have our cake and eat it too.

I've tried natty's , pinnacle souveran, and PS21S
natty's is nice for dark color ... but it is much harder to work with...I think you do get an extra week or two in longevity though
overally PS21S is still my favorite, when looking at price, ease of use, and gloss

Secondly, a good while back many have stated S100 and P21S are the same. The difference was that S100 was "formulated for motorcycles", but was revealed to be the same thing. They just price hiked a $15 difference for the P21S. I'm not sure if this still holds true or if they reformulated the P21S. You may want to look into it and save you some money. I personally have a can of S100 which I use as a topper to NXT 2.0...I'm pleased with the results.

Thanks for all your help guys. I decided to get the Pinnacle Souveran from Detailed Image. Since I already spend a crap ton load of money on Zaino's, I didnt think I needed to spend an extra $100 on Supernatural as it prob wouldnt make that big of a difference on a metallic car.
Of course, I havent used it yet, because technically, I havent gotten it yet. It is coming for Christmas, and my husband did a bad job at hiding it from me. He He. I cant wait to use it though. I will definitely post pics as I will prob be washing my car on Christmas or the day after.

You can wash and wax the car without water. Even caked on dirt comes right off leaving a showroom shine and depth. PM me and I'll tell you how to get it. It's winter, perfect product because you don't have to stick your hands in cold water.
