EUROTECH,



You should check out Meg`s #16 out for a topper on silver! It really leave a wet and reflective appearance. Here is a pic.

~One man’s opinion / observations ~



I like Klasse or NXT on silver metallic (trying Wolfgang this week-end)



Durofoam Pads From Classic Motoring Accessories (These pads require a six-inch, Velcro Backing Plate

VP-6) a 6.5" Pad size with a 6" backing plate provides a 1/4" all round clearance. The oversized foam pad isolates the backing plate from contact with the car`s surface, so you can work without fear of damaging the finish with an exposed backing plate.



Colour Cutting Speed (OPM) Use For

Action



White Light 3.5 - 4.5 Polishing, Pre-Wax



Yellow Medium 4.0 - 5.5 Machine Polish, Compound, SMR



Grey None 3.5 - 4.0 < Finishing, Final Buffing



Wool Levelling 5.9 – 6.0 Levelling or used under a bonnet



~Hope this helps~

I`d sure pick the 1Z polish, and I`d use their Metallic after the paint polish. Then apply UPP to the Metallic.



I wouldn`t top THAT combo, myself, but if you really want to, I too recommend Meg`s #16.

Can you go straight from 1Z MP to UPP?:nixweiss



Thought you need a base, e.g. UPC or AIO before applying UPP. Not sure though ... haven`t ever worked with UPP.
