    I got a 03 mini cooper s :brit in pure silver.



    The qustion I have for ya`ll is I always seem to have issues getting silver paint to stand out and relfect, I can get a nice glass like surface but never to what I`m looking for.



    I currently use a Porter Cable with Sonus SFX pads, and polish, and klasse all in one with meg #26 on top of it. What would you gurus of paint suggest to make it go from wow to :woohoo:

    Instead of the carnauba, you might try a sealant. I get great "pop" from Zaino, Werkstatt, and UPP.

    Use a sealant and then add a coat of carnauba spit shined with OCW. The results are amazing.



    For long term durability, AIO, SG, S100 and OCW spit shined.
