Got an idea for a string of threads...



If you gota a silver vehicle, then post a favorite pic or two and state the name of the color and the process used.

I miss my summer wheels. :sadpace:
 
The pictures below were taken at the start of August. The previous major detail was only done 4 weeks previously, when I used Poorboys SSR1 to remove some swirls, then Klasse All in One (AIO) to add a basecoat of protection and finally P21S carnuba wax as my last step product. For this detail, I simply washed it really well with Poorboys Super Slick n Suds shampoo and then finished with a single layer of OCW.

Several months on, and after 4-5 further applications of OCW, my car looks even wetter, with really deep reflections. This is hard to achieve on silver, and really proves what OCW can do.

A few from me... This is my first Mitsubishi Galant - taken on a cold day in December 2003. I had Used Meguiar's 'Gold Class' wash, clay and the 'Deep Crystal' 3-step system the weekend before these pictures were taken, and then just topped it off with a coat of Gold Glass Wax.



And yes, the 1st photo shows the car before I'd done the tyres.....

This is the second Galant I owned - a V6 Sport. Different Silver to the first one - this one is satellite silver, rather than Hamilton silver. It's a 'whiter' silver and was much more reflective. Cleaned using the same products pretty much - These were taken on our wedding day last year. It was the official wedding car! :clap:

And finally, here's a not so great shot of our Legnum VR-4. I have yet to turn this one into a mirror..... It's paint does need a fair bit of TLC..... And having just emptied out my collection of Meguiars (no longer happy with the results), I haven't a clue what to get next!



Any suggestions welcome :)
