Best product for silver???

My silver 05 S2000 is the first car I’ve really tried to maintain. After much debate and lurking, I settled on Werkstatt. After a good cleaning/claying, I prepped using Prime, followed by a couple coats of Trigger, reapplying Trigger once a month or so. My weekly wash is followed by a drying coat and a second coat of FK 425. The whole process is painless, quite slick, shinny, wet, and ridiculously easy. I don’t have to chase dust or dried whatever on the trim or soft top. I initially intended to top with souveran, but the results of my current process are so good and so quick, I don’t yet feel the urge to change...likely next spring. I did buy some Acrylic Gloss as well, but I really don’t seem to need it when the 425 works so well.

what would be a good combination of products( polish and wax) to use to really make the metallic silver sparkle?

I did a silver Altima with ZPC/Z5/Z2, and the flakes were incredible. Another combo would be Poorboy's PwC followed by Mothers FX Synwax.
 
I've tried many products on my silver MX-5: 4* UPP, EX-P, KSG, FK2180, Moose Wax, Souveran, Natty's Blue, Pink Wax.



Honestly, I have a tough time picking one over the other as far as looks go. KSG definitely has a very reflective look - actually blinding in direct sunlight. The carnaubas seem to tone the reflectivity down a bit, but still don't give it much depth. So...I really don't have a favorite. They all have looked good in their own way.



One thing I probably wont do is use the Souveran again. It looks great on my wife's charcoal grey and the black cars I've detailed, but on my silver car I just don't notice enough of an improvement over lower-priced waxes to justify the higher price of the Souveran.
 
As far as sealants, UPP is my favorite on silver.. Carnaubas - Paste Glaz, #16 or P21S. My go to lately has been AJ topped with #16 because it's so durable.
