High Gloss Citric Acid vs Super Gloss Emerald Wave: the differences.

The first difference between High Gloss Citric Acid and Super Gloss Emerald Wave is depth: Super Gloss Emerald Wave reads darker, so it hides body lines that High Gloss Citric Acid shows. The second is not the finish: both are gloss films, so the sheen is a separate decision from the colour. Low light, curved panels and your own trim decide the rest, and none of that shows up on a swatch. Render both on your car and compare them there.
