Well I recently posted that I was getting a 2004 Civic. Well I ditched that idea, and got a 2002 Nissan Altima. Anyways, it is the ever difficult silver. Anyways, I just did a quick detail on it the other day to get some protection on it. But I was wondering what would be a great combo for a very wet look. Not so much looking for protection, but pure wetness. I was sondering if something like AIO might be a great first step. Looking for any suggestions I can get, here are some pics of my first quicky on it!! Also, I just picked up some S100, I only got to apply it to the hood, looks pretty good to me!! Feel free to post pics if possible!!
SSR2.5--------LC Yellow pad PC=5
VM-------------LC White pad PC=5
EX-P-----------LC Gray pad PC=4

Why did you get rid of the Cobra---They are badd *** cars straight from the factory!!! Just about got me one, but didnt
Best on silver, Im trying to decide on that too? I just keep reading and reading, at some point I will buy something soon:D
Try this next time. I think you might like it:
SSR1 by rotary or PC
VM by hand
EX-P or
EX-P topped with #16 or
EX-P topped with Natty`s
These will help give you a nice clear, wet look

I think the Klasse twins look great on silver. Top with Nattys or #16 from everything I have read (I will be trying both products soon).

My preference is Z-2 with ZFX followed by Z-6 and top with carnuba (2002 Silver Lexus)

Two choices on carnauba (I hear Zaino is great for a synthetic):
1. GEPC followed by S100/P21S. My normal routine.
2. Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion followed by Pinnacle Paste Glaz.
Either works great on silver metallic.

Nice choice in color, that the same as I have!
After reading mondo amount of info, Im going to try 4*UPC/UPP/UGE combo to see how that comes out. Still undecided if I should get some AIO and and slap a coat of that on there as well.

Obviously a person of great style and taste. :) I love how this silver is different from most on the road and how it sparkles in direct sun.
I really think the P21S wax and GEPC are terrific. My car shines better than the day I bought it. I`ve used the Paste Glaz and really like it and it is my go-to wax for the wife`s car which is gold metallic.
Both of these waxes are very easy to apply and wipe off which makes periodic waxing all the better.

I have a silver car also and was told by a few respected people here to try the Pinnacle Paste glaz. They say the Paste glaz is great on white and silver & the Souveran on dark colors. I think I`m going to orer the Paste glaz soon for the silver.

Congrats on the new car...it looks great! Honestly the SSR2.5, VM, EX-P is a great combo, and one of my faves. Maybe multiple coats of EX-P followed up with some Natty`s will enhance the look.

just be aware, you`ll get about a week out of it until that slickness evaporates (or is washed) away. Long term durability is pretty decent for a hi end carnauba of this sort.

AIO + EX-P + Pinnacle Signature
