    Overkill step in my process? Silver car

    Best combos for Silver Metallic Paint

    What combinations work best for metallic silver paint? I had a dark blue car before and loved that just waxed look (wet). Can you get a silver car to look as wet as a dark car? Is there a better wax than others for Silver cars? Let me know. Thanks.
