Jeffs Werkstatt kit good for rally blue?
Should be getting my car back from mocom soon.
So im looking forward to giving it a good going over.Ive always used megueirs shampoo, polish etc. but i would like to have a go with another product.
would buying the jeff's kit from pb work well on the subaru blue colour?
Or would a better kit suit the colour..
looking for a deep wet finish.

Wouldn't go for the Acrylic kit if you want wet, the Acrylic kit gives quite a hard "shiney" looking car. The Carnauba might be best for that; but I've never seen/used it so couldn't say for sure, but I think a Carnauba based wax would give you more of the effect your after.
For the record though - I think the Jeff's Acrylic looks great on mine

On blue Scoobies, for a deep wet look with maximum gloss I would go with a carnauba wax rather than a sealant based system, so the Blackfire Midnight Sun Wax would be ideal - plenty of good reviews and images of it on here if you go back through the last few months worth of threads. The Jeffs Acrylic system also looks good on blue Scoobies, but as said above, gives a harder, shinier look that makes the metallic flake stand out more, but doesn't give as much wetness or gloss. Choose Blackfire Midnight Sun for maximum wetness, or Jeffs Acrylic for maximum flake enhancement.

I am using the Jeffs Acrylic kit and yes it brings out the flake rather well, but for wetness and gloss is find it brilliant. Pryer to using this system, I have used Megs gold class wax, natty paste and I find it gives better wetness that these. I surpose it all depends on what colour your car is, but it its Deep Blue Mica (95H)....

given that i'll be doing this by hand. What would you recommend for a polish to go with the wax?

Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish is an ideal pre wax cleanser that will boost gloss and help to hide any minor defects. If you want a more intensive polish in order to try and remove swirls then Menzerna's Intensive Polish is the way to go with the white side of a German Pad.
