:) Just like the title says, what do you like to use on silver and what properties does it give it? Reflective, or does it make the metallic stand out?
Pictures would be good if you have them, too. :)

Zaino Z2 or Z5.
Very reflective, which highlights silver very well, and makes it pop.
I`ve had a lot of success with FTG and FMJ. Gives silver great reflection and a brillant shine. Used it on a silver maxima and pathfinder. I`ll put up some pics in a bit.

Holy whoa....that`s really really really reflective.
I don`t have any Zaino, but I think I may buy a bottle of the Z2 when my Blackfire goes completely dry. I won`t buy any of the other stuff--I want to experiment with Zaino and other products. This picture makes me want it--I bet it topped with #16 or Liquid Souveran--man, it could look realy nice for a show. :)

One of my practice fenders for my rotary is silver, sorry guys, I just don`t like it, I can`t see what kind of progress ( or lack of)I made on it :mad:

You eventually learn to love it, even if it keeps secrets. :)

If I remember correctly, this is #80/#20. A very nice combo, IMO.

I recently detailed a Lexus SC430 and a Chevy Tahoe for a client . The Lexus is Millenium Silver, the Tahoe is Pewter Metallic.
I used Meguiar`s #20 polymer sealant on them, it really brought out the paintwork`s reflectivity! :xyxthumbs

I went over the car with #9 and NXT by hand. Then about 3 weeks later went over it again with just NXT applied by PC. This was the result...

1Z Metallic PolishWax + 1Z Glanz Wax + 1Z Lackfinish Detail Spray = Liquid-looking gloss.
The 1Z stuff really highlights the metallic flake in paint. In the sun you can see every flake reflect light, I call it the "Bass Boat Effect." If you have ever seen any of those fancy bass fishing boats and how that paint has huge flakes in it then you`ll know what I mean.

Does Glanz Wax have any cleaning properties? :)
