    Help me choose for Silver Sparkle.

    OK, so I got a 2005 Mazda3 hatchback about a month ago. First detail this weekend. Here are my choices for LSP. It is silver with a little sparkle to it.

    P21s
    Pinnacle Signature
    UPP
    Klasse

    Also, I have some Red Moose....even worth applying on silver?

    Re: Help me choose for Silver Sparkle.

    From personal viewing experience I would choose UPP.

    Yet, if I had all of those in my arsenal to choose from I would use them all and find the one that pleases my eye the most.

    Re: Help me choose for Silver Sparkle.

    Klasse AIO as a prep and UPP and/or P21S will likely look the best. UPP is just a great product with great slickness and looks very nice on silver. P21S is a very clear paste wax which will allow your metal flakes to pop as well. Or if you have time, do both... UPP topped with P21S after a day or two.

    I have heard that the Pinacle SS wax looks great on silver as well... and Klasse SG doesn`t look bad... it has that hard candy shell look too it but not too bad. The durabilty makes up for that, IMO.

    I was sorta leaning towards a few coats of UPP folowed by a coat of P21S or Pinnacle SIgnature.

    Red Moose adds some nice clarity to the finish. I think it would work well. I`d top it with Signature Series. UPP can be used by itself and I`ve never felt the nedd to top it.

    Four out of four mentioned UPP.
    Sounds like a pretty easy choice to make.
    As one poster mentioned, Klasse AIO for a cleaner prep and UPP for the LSP makes for a great combination on Silver. (And white, and black, and blue, and maroon, and red, and gold )

    Re: Help me choose for Silver Sparkle.

    I guess I`ll be the lone dissenter on the UPP suggestion. Not that I don`t think UPP is a fine product, I do. Not because it isn`t possibly the slickest initial product I use, it is. But it also a "flake muter". I have used UPP on VW`s Silver Reflex, a "sea `o flake" paint, and I found that while it does look very nice, it did not really enhance the metal-flake. Likewise Liquid Souveran really imparts a nice appearance, but not if you really want that flake "pop". I would suggest PB`s EX-P.

    Is the Klasse SG or AIO?
    If it is the Klasse AIO, using it as your cleaner prep followed by the UPP should look great. I used that combo on a silver Taurus and didn`t notice any muting of the flake. There again, I didn`t compare it to anything else. It looked good and that worked for me.

    UPP definitely as your LSP it will give the most sparkle to the metallic flakes
