i have a silver wrx and was wondering what combinations you`ve had best luck with on a silver car.

My experiences:
AIO, UPPx3 - Brightens the finish and really pops the flakes if you have any. Very slick and durable. I have never put wax on top of UPP.
and
AIO, WGx3 - Deepens the finish a bit and flakes moderately pop. Durable. I`ve topped with Nattys-Blue to give it more of a wet/glossy look.

Different silvers are different. I just love UPP on vehicles where I get the prep just right. I use it over 1Z Pro MP, which isn`t around any more, but plenty of people like it over AIO.
I used the Klasse twins on my silver WRX, but I wasn`t really thrilled with how it looked. Nice and durable though.

FP II then AIO followed by EX-P and I just topped it with OCW! Looks like I could swim in a liquid sliver paint.

Look into the Chemical Guy`s or Adams Polishes stuff.

I agree with the AIO/WG combo , although I top with OCW.
Here`s a third vote for UPP over AIO on silver. I use it on my Silverstone Subaru Legacy sedan (daily driver) and the finish looks brighter than any other products I`ve tried.

would the addition of a glaze such as RMG hurt the flake pop of the aio/upp combo?

I have a silver Audi and AIO + WG, AIO + BF, or AIO + S100 all look GREAT!!!!
I have a Bright Silver Mercedes: Anyone w/ experience bringing out the best, or worst, in that paint?

AIO/WG, AIO/UPP, AIO/EX-P...they all look great. Just make sure to polish and clean the paint first, and you`ll probably not be dissapointed.

Nattys Blue looks very nice on silver, as does regular Nattys.
