Maybe... we have the same last name anyways
Have you used acrylic sealers/sprays? I"m not sure what to do next to take the paint up to the next level.

Do we really have the same last name? I never really checked haha. I'm Lam . Hmm, which acrylic sealers/sprays are you referring to Bryan? The only ones I know outside of Zaino are Jeff Werkstatt products and a new product being developed by the creator of Black Wow (shh, secret )

Tuan (Bryan) Lam.
My dad's Chinese, mom's Vietnamese.
As for waxes, what is better than Meguiars Yellow wax, which has a mix of polymers and caranuba..should i go with a pure carnuba?
for the acrylic, i'm looking at chemical guys extreme shine ez creme with acrylic shine II versus the white diamond glaze.

Haha, siick

Nuba/sealant hybrids are generally longer lasting than plain old nubas. While they may not give the full potential shine or looks as a nuba, their other properties make up for it generally. I like real nubas for the look, but I usually keep a layer of sealant underneath it to prolong the life of the protection in case I go past my 1month mark

Hmm, IIRC ez creme is the exact same as Dark Hole, which works just as well as White Diamond Glaze. You may be better off putting a hybrid wax (Collinite 845), putting a layer of glaze on top (your choices work fine), and maybe topping with a Nuba for ultimate looks

i'm tempted to buy one of the chemical guy's gloss enhancer's right now (WET MIRROR FINISH ULTRA SLICK NON-STICK GLOSS MAGNIFIER)...and the butter wax. "so WET THE LIGHT DRIPS OFF THE SURFACE. " lol

Haha, pick up one of the glazes that you want to get (I recommend EZ or Black Hole as they are the same). Put 3 coats of it on the car, then top with 3 coats nuba. That should make the paint super wet (does on mine and bamboo pearl paint)
