[dagger]

Which is the best wax / sealant for metallic paint

Cheers

are you wanting looks, durability, cost ?

what colour ?

Looks 1st
then cost

Mine is Silver (paint code: KLO), which is a very soft Jap paint

wax wont have anything to do with the softness thats the polishing part.
cost wise
meg 16, fk1000p or coli 476 all under £20

looks wise i found that meg NXT 2.0 liqud wax gave a nice glossy finish after around 3 or 4 coats. durability was pretty much non existant 3-4 weeks beore it started to go.
i found 2 coats of fk on the silver gave a good shine but less glossy
heres a picutre without any light shining on it and before its been washed

If looks is more important than cost, without going too silly either swissvax bos, dodo juice supernatural or celeste dettaglio.

I know the owner of company called serious performance which imports a lot of polish etc from the US and have asked this very question as the Stagea has a pearlescent finish
His veiw is that sealants are better whenever the top coat is clear.
Wax is generally better for solid colours
.
I would reccomend their own brand sealant (available from his website) really top stuff

It's not a case of one being better than the other, its purely personal preference.
