bocop- Welcome to Autopia!



Silver can look great, just takes the right prep.



Very short version: clay the vehicles. They`ll benefit greatly from that alone.



Use a mildly abrasive polish and plan on doing it in two stages, aggressive and then mild. Good choices for newbies include 1Z brand Paint Polish the Metallic Polish or 3M PI-III RC (05933) then MG (05937). Follow these polishes with the LSP (Last Step Product) of your choice (maybe Meguiar`s #16 paste wax).



Again, that`s the *very* short version, like explaining how to build a house in two paragraphs :D



OH- PM David B and see why your password isn`t working.
