I am betting it has something to do with several posts he has made recently about how bad C5 forum has gotten as a whole, but honestly that's just a wild guess and I truly have no clue.

There is a great deal of truth to how bad C5 has gotten, but that isn't the reason he was banned.

He told me why, I would be willing to bet that I myself would get an infraction if I posted it publicly.

However I don't see revealing a members reason for suspension on the rules, but it would probably fall under moderator discretion.

Have you seen my just half a test video on backfire black ice? That stuff is as "slippery" as I have ever seen! It sheets water like nothing I've seen before!

I second this! Good product! I'm going to top it with "Mothers Reflections car wax" just because I saw a members 2SS/RS cristal red and MAN! That car is shinny!!! he toll me that what he use...

PS: I know wax don't polish only protect but that wax has to have something extra on it...

You have blackIce? or midnight sun? or the blackfire sealant?

I'm assuming that since you're talking about topping, you are referring to the blackfire sealant, whereas I was referring to blackfire BlackICE.

See in my opinion I think wax does have an effect on gloss and reflection on a car, I know some people feel that it doesn't. In my mind I notice a difference before and after wax is applied.

Like the wax somewhat mutes the gloss from a sealant ?

I think it can enhance the gloss as well as provide a tone to the look of the paint. But I do suppose applied incorrectly or maybe too thick it could also negatively affect the gloss. I know some people have an opinion that wax has no effect on the look of paint. Although prep is ultimately more important.

I've always noticed a difference with a wax applied.
Now if your comparing wax to wax that proves to be a little difficult.

I can definitely see a difference when a wax is applied, but I'll be damned if I can see a difference in "warmth" or "glow" between waxes. I can see somewhat of a difference between carnaubas and sealants, but if you give me two different brand waxes in the same class, I won't tell a difference. Maybe these effects are more pronounced on colored vehicles. Mine is black which is not a color.

I agree with that. Although colored waxes are iffy, some say since the clear coat is clear that there's no point, but what about any filling properties if a scratch is down to the base coat? Then it should provide a difference not to mention this test has me intrigued in colored waxes.
