It's just not physically possible for GPW to like as "shiny" as say Berlina Black. But, if you have tons of swirls and scratches in your paint then it could still be made to look a lot better than it does now.

Jaeden09, what do you mean wait for 24 hours? you mean apply the wax then remove after 24 hours, or your saying you cant apply another coat til 24 hours have passed?
Also whats the difference between wax and cleaner wax?

*Edit's his previous statement*
In the first post I said "If the label doesnt say how long to wait in between coats, I'd recommend 24 hours." but in the second post I said 24 hours, and I was referring to the Zymol Cleaner wax I have, sorry about the confusion, I was running on an hour of sleep in 48 hours.
Cheese Steak, The term "Cure time" is referring to the time after the wax has been removed, for the wax to actually set, and have its full strength. So you apply the wax, let it sit until it you should remove it (Varies according to product), and then wait a certain amount of time before you apply your next coat of wax (Should say on the product, if not, I would recommend 24 hours, Like I tried to say earlier but messed up lol)
Correct me if I'm wrong but..... Cleaner waxes have chemical abrasives (Or is it mechanical abrasives), so they smooth the surface out, by removing anything that is on the surface (Such as old waxes, and could possible remove old AIO's (All in Ones) or SG's (Sealant Glazes) but I'm not sure if it removes the last two.)
Here's a page on Waxes, has some GOOD information in it about waxes/sealants and such

you can make white paint look wet but not really reflective like a black car... I still appreciate the white color though, the RX8 has a really nice white paint since it has pearl flakes in it
