Re: out of these 3 LSP for silver?
yeah if its for sale, nxt will make the paint pop for a short while. but i really dont think you could go wrong with either 845 or nxt. i am not too sure about the 3m performance finish.

Re: out of these 3 LSP for silver?
Of those, on Audi silver, I've only used the 845, which was OK and looked quite a bit like #16.
The big thing with Audi silver seems to be the prep; it just doesn't *pop* unless you get it really, really nice....kinda funny in that sense as silvers go IME.

Re: out of these 3 LSP for silver?
yea not looking for durability, just for that pop. i was hoping to not have to polish it at all, but if what u say is true about that silver, ill go over it once.

845, I don't like NXT on lighter colors.

Re: out of these 3 LSP for silver?
Collinite is the way to go, it always impresses me with it's looks on lighter metallics (assuming proper prep).
NXT will darken the paint too much and won't really "POP" was much.

845 without a doubt....leaves a nice "thick" gloss.

Re: out of these 3 LSP for silver?
two best i've used on my metallic silver audi is danase wet glaze and upgp. both offer reflective properties, a nice slick finish and easy of application.
totally agree on the prep. good prep = good results. bad prep = don't bother with lsp
one very underrated product is dg 501. a chemical paint cleaner and sealant. nothing i've used gives a slicker feeling. even after wash and clay, a white pad/pc application will see your pad get amazingly dirty. can't believe what 501 pulls off. you do need to apply with a pc speed of 2. anything faster and the 501 flashes too quickly.
