Guys im ready to give my new 06 tsx silver a nice detail job. There is abs. no scratches whatsoever... IM assumin i should skip the polishing and go strait to the glaze n wax correct if im wrong????



my plan of attack is:



CVM , then poor boys EX carnuba.





give me your thoughts guys on a SILVER CAR.
 
It's probably a good idea to clay the car before doing anything else - new cars generally come from the lot with a lot of bonded contaminants. After that, your process looks good. You might want to try EX-P instead of EX unless you've already bought the sealant - it looks nicer on lighter colors IMO.

;) quick post there



If you haven't bought products yet, you might want to look at some other product combos as well. Prime + Acrylic Jett and AIO + UPP both look awesome on silver.

Yes, it's a cleaner but it also leaves some protection which serves as a great base for most sealants. Particularly since you won't be polishing the paint, I would use AIO or a similar cleaner to ensure proper bonding. The case for using AIO over VM would be that most sealants (like UPP and AJ) don't like to bond on top of glazes - EX and EXP do bond well on top of VM, though.
 
I'd just choose between the VM and the AIO de4pending on which LSP you're gonna use. Using *something* along those lines is simply a good idea IMO, better than going straight to a LSP even if the finish looks fine.



IMO both VM and AIO are in the "cleaner wax" category, broadly speaking, and no I don't consider "clear wax" to be a pejorative ;)



While I too have my preferences in LSPs, I have different ones on all our silver vehicles and while they do look different, it's not like any of them look like they have the "wrong wax" on them or anything.
