Hello all,
My brother is in town from Nashville because my father is having health problems. He came alone so he drove his 2003 Silver Convertable Vette. I am the primary care provider for my dad, and since my Brother is here this weekend I get to go home to my house and have the weekend off. I drove the Vette home to detail it for Lee (brother). Herein is my question, the paint was nice and smooth but I still used the clay bar this morning and am taking a break before I use PPP on the paint before giving it a topper. I have in my arsonal EX-P and P21S but I do not have time to put both on. Durability is not a issue as the Vette sits in a garage. I would like to know which product(sealant or Carnauba Wax) will make the Silver metallic look the best in your experience? I will post some picts when done. Any input would be appreciated.
thanks Paul
 
I'd do a side by side comparison on a section big enough so you could see a difference if there is one. If there is a difference go with the one you like best. Then polish the section you don't like and cover it with the product of your choice.
 
I would use EX-P. I prefer the look of a sealant on silver (though I do top sealants with a carnauba) over just a carnauba. Silver is a difficult color to make eye bulging and a carnauba alone has never done it for me, whereas a sealant or sealant + carnauba has.
 
I'm sorry to hear about your father's health problems :kneel, but bless you for being his caregiver :bigupsl & your brother for coming down to give you some MUCH NEEDED time-off :angel - enjoy it!!

I've only used EX-P on my Mojave Mist CR-V, but I love the finish that it leaves & while you say durability is not an issue, it's still beading after 5 months :) If you have time to put a second coat on after 24 hours, that would be best.

Looking forward to the pics :)
 
Well thanks to all your input I used the EX-P and it did the trick. Unfortunently by the time I finished the sun had gone behind the trees, so the metallic did not show up as good as it looked in person. I also cleaned the rims and glass with PB'sPP and it made the rims shine like a mirror. All work was done by hand. Just wish I had time for one more coat of EX-P tomorrow.
Nora, thanks for the kind words.
Heres some pictures of the finished product

Sorry to hear about your dad.:( I'm sure your brother's help is a great temporary relief for you. Very nice Vette, I hope the detailing let off a little stress:)
