Default Trying something new...

Gonna give the Polish Angel Black Wulfenite a try on top of the STEK Dynoshield PPF we had done last Spring at Esoteric. Used PA Cosmic last year, great stuff but always up for something new...especially if it has the Polish Angel label on it.

somebody needs to take me to school on "color matched waxes". You are applying directly to a CLEAR coat, not directly to a colored/painted surface. Albeit, it is over a painted surface, but not directly...does it really make a difference is you use "blue wax" on a blue car or non-color specific wax like we always did? Or is it just a marginal difference at best?

I'm not bashing here at all..honest. But my small and pathetic 100cc brain is having trouble understanding how this is not more marketing than an actual "yeah, i can totally tell the difference" product. What is the actual science (that can be proved) here?

Budget - I know you will give an honest review of color specific wax vs something non-color specific both from PA and both being the highest quality so it is indeed apples to apples.

Again, not bashing - just really curious and want to understand.

Here's the vid on 'em. I'd expect it to not be a major difference but perhaps a slight improvement of depth. Mostly for me, entertainment:
