Frequently Asked Questions

The Xist Brilliant is noticeably brighter and more articulate than the Traditionals, which tend to have a warmer, more complex tone. Think of it as a more focused, modern splash.
The Brilliant finish is more susceptible to scratches and marks than darker finishes. Regular polishing will help maintain its shine, but expect some wear with regular use.
While it’s versatile, the brightness might get lost in a very dense, heavily distorted rock or metal mix. It's better suited for styles where the splash needs to cut through, rather than blend in.
