Afternoon Everyone,



Those with silver cars.......what polishes/sealants/waxes do you use?



I am trying to achive some depth, gloss, and wetness in the paint of my 2003 GTP.



My usual detailing regiment is Megs #3 machine polish followed by Megs #20 with #26 Paste topper. The car looks great after I'm done......but doesn't have the deep wet look I'm loking for.....I know silver is difficult.....but is it acheivable?



Thanks,



George
 
Now thats what I'm talking about! Thanks for the pics....I know what S100 is, but what about SEC?

S.E.C. "Shine Enhancing Cleaner"

Just work it in real good in a back and forth line. Wipe off.

I also clayed the truck before the sec.

The problem with Silver is unless you view it from the side, it really doesnt "pop".

I have heard Klasse looks good on Silver. It just so happens I just bought AIO and SG for my Wife's car:D

"I promise I will only use it on her car":cool:
 
Well I've got a Lexus GS300 and its silver. The best results i've had were with Zaino topped by S100. Klasse would probably work the same way. Give it a try and post pics!
 
Currently: Lots of Klasse SG layers, and S100 wax on top. You probably can't get a lot of "depth" with silver though (hey, it's silver!) but when I was done last year I did think the paint looked quite wet and glossy. All this is subjective though and some people could call it a bright, hard shine if they wanted to. I just wished I had paid more attention to the way it looked untopped beforehand though....
 
I know I know, I promised no more pictures for a couple of days; my fingers were crossed!:D Here is S100 SEC + #7 + #20 + S100 paste wax. Since I already own a dark coloured truck, I can honesty say, I really love silver!!:xyxthumbs
 
VM and S100

UPP is Ultimate Paint Protection by Platinum. Click on the store icon at the top of the page.
 
I have my favorite as klasse combo and s100/ps21, until I used EX!! I say try AIO, EX and top withs100/ps21:up . You would have the sahinies and most deep looking paint.
 
Hmmm, I'm going to do both our cars in a few weeks. 1996 Black Stratus again with blackfire, and a 2000 Silver Focus wagon (first time with Blackfire). Hopefully I'll get around to taking pictures of both and ahem, can make your judgements. The Stratus still looks nice....when it's clean. Black is never clean.
