Iceman the mazda3 in my gallery is very bright silver.
washed
clayed
ht low cut polish with PC
AIO
(picture taken at this point)
then Klasse sealer on top of that.
I will put two more coats of Klasse then top with two PCW.
When picture taken I had to work hard to find a position that the silver wasn't too bright to photograph. That with only the AIO applied. Looks even better after the 1 coat of Klasse. Two more coats Klasse and a couple PCW will improve it more. I will post more detailed pictures when completed. Should finish by the end of the weekend. I have done this routine once before and it looked really great.
