S100 (Best bang for the buck, IMO. $15 at your local Harley Store)
P21S
Pinnacle Paste Glaz (if you can find it)
Natty's Blue (Sold by Poorboys)
Pinnacle Liquid Souveran

I should have pics of Klasse and P21S this weekend or sometime next week on my white

Prinz, what goes on first? I have 2 Klasse products that Matty told me to buy. One says All-in-one, I can't think of the other one off the top of my head. But I have silver and red bottles.

Red Bottle: All In One - Goes on first because it acts as a light polish and sets up the finish for the sealant glaze

Silver Bottle: Sealant Glaze - Goes on after All In One

I'm thinking the Natty's regular is better for light colors. The Blue, while probably ok, was formulated for dark colors.

Kevlo - apply sealant glaze THIIIIINNNNN. You're going to get VERY frusterated with it if you apply too much. Read up in autopia for more complete application instructions.

Also, ezuwh(sp?) uses Klasse Twins on his Pearl White 97, and it's unbelievable. I also use the Klasse series. Are you considering layering the Klass sealant glaze? If so, make sure you leave enough time to cure.

I just use the meguiars NXT liquid wax and it makes the car shine pretty well. Also use it on rims.

I have come to accept that no matter what wax you use, its never gonna shine like a dark color car. My majestic blue 02 when waxed look unbelievable. My polished titanium looks good when wax but couldn't touch my blue one

The up side of lighter colors is that they hide paint imperfections much better, but you're right...a well taken care of dark color looks sooooooooo good!

you can get nxt paste or spray most anywhere. I got mine at walmart for about 15 i think. Any autozone-type place will have it.

Is the general belief that the S100 from the harley stores is better than the nxt paste though? If so, why? That may be my next wax, just to see what all the hype is about.
