Best LSP for silver metallic?

**cobrar97** · 03-31-2008, 07:48 PM

I have an `05 Ford Freestyle that I bought new. The finish is as clean and smooth as you`ll find. My questions is: what`s the best LSP for silver metallic paint to really make it pop? A carnuba or a sealant? Remember, this is not BMW or VW paint, but Ford...if that makes any difference. Thanks!

I love Ultima PGP on metallic silver, it really makes the flakes pop. I also like to hit it with some Fk 425 for an extra pop.

FK425...I`m all over that stuff, and I have yet to find a better QD. I use Opti-Seal now as an LSP...but I`m sure there`s something better. I`ve not tried the Ultima PGP.

Hate to keep beating the drum but DWG is by far the best I`ve used on silver metallic. Goes on easy with a grey pad and wipes off just as easy. It gives a clarity for metallic flake that carnauba can only dream of. Very reflective, crystal clear, slick and can be layered over or under polymer sealants or carnauba wax. A little goes a loooooong way too. I like using it as a final LSP. Even has more durability than most glazes.

After using it the first time I rarely reach for the Liquid Souveran or Clearkote CMW anymore.

I apply on the hood normally after washing as I enjoy looking at the hood reflections as I drive. If Bob at Danase offered a money back guarantee he would never have to pay up.

Yeah, gotta love that FK. I get that stuff by the gallon. Give that UPGP a try one of these days. It is super easy to apply and IMO produces a very reflective, deep, wet look with less of that plastic finish of most other sealants. If you don`t like it, you can always return it.

I`ll research the UPGP.

Tell me though...what is this DWG? I don`t know that acronym. Link me.

Ok, ok...the DWG description looks very appealing. Is it applied by hand or by machine? I`m assuming hand if it "melts in" that easily. Does this stuff also work on dark colors nicely, or is it mainly for light/metallic paints? I know I asked about silver, but I also have a black ford that I use P21S on...and I`m always looking for the next best thing there too.
