Red mist or CG WMF
Just a quick one
Im going to be doing a full pre winter detail in the next week
Car is black so is very easy to get great results with menzerna polishes and 476S wax alone
I currently use Dodo juice red mist tropical as sealant but im wondering if the Chemical guys wet mirror finish will give a better look??
Ive personally never used the wet mirror finish
Any advice on which is better?
Cheers

Tbh this time of year the more protection the better.
Sooo polish, wet mirror finish sealant, 476 wax and then once that has cured add a coat of red mist.

Used my C2 for the first time the other day and OMG.
To OP Wet Mirror Finish has absolutely terrible durability, yeah it's awesome and I love mine, but always top off with a wax afterwards. 476 on top of WMF would be smashing. Or even just 476 then topped up with Red Mist, can't go wrong with either.

polished then wet mirror finish with collinite 476s on top.
well happy with the results as car is silver and hard to get a good, deep shine.
