I just wanna see what you guys use to make silver flow like water. I have mostly poorboys stuff (ssr 2, poorboys polish, nattys blue, ex, ex-p) and i can get some other goods from the store. Need it by this weekend, so i wont be ordering much anymore this week :( . What do you recommend? Here's my car with my meguiars gold class wash w/ turtle wax spray wax put on while wet (dried to a shine) :











And I happen to also be a photographer, so here you go:



 
There is a thread in the forum above with the same topic. On a side note I thought poor boy's natty's paste wax was suppose to make silver cars look wet
 
I just detailed a silver Carrera today using Optimum Poli-Seal and a 50/50 mix of Optimum Car Wax and Werkstatt's Carnauba Jett. Definitely as deep and wet as I've ever been able to get silver to look. Pics this weekend-ish.

When Picus detailed my car he used the same Werkstatt and Arcylic jett.. My silver paint is very shiney I have no compliants. Scott do you recommed using Poor boy's paste wax on silver, right now im using p21s :2thumbs:
 
I used Klasse AIOx2, SGx3 and FMJx4 over the course of 2 months on my silver BMW, it is still damn hard, unlike my black Audi TT or a red car :D
 
If you're working purely with what you already have, I'd throw down a coat or two of EX-P and then top with Natty's.
 
I'm also after a wet shiny look for my satin silver TSX.. I'm currently using Klasse Twins topped with S100... Its been good so far but I want to bring it to the next level.. After reading all the great reviews from autopians, I will next try the Prime Strong and AJ-Trigger combo from Jeffs..



I love this site... I learn new stuff everytime I drop by..

I'd actually go with OCW on silver.
 
Must give that a try scotty. My mothers ford territory is silver metallic and I will be detailing it fully next week.



Some jeffs AJ, then a day later some Optimum wax and carnauba jett 50/50 should work great

Some say to apply carnauba wax, then leave out in the sunlight for at least 30 mins and bring back in and wipe down to give a wetter finish. Any truth to this.
 
Go with EX-P topped with Nattys it will make the paint nice and wet. Nattys blue is for darker colors, but on silver it will make the metallic pop,but the paints not as wet looking.
 
On silver I normally use Megs #80 followed by liquid NXT.

Used it last weekend for the first time. Definitely worth the $15.

Wish I would have taken pics.

was using Aqua Wax before this. Two equally shiny looks but different in my opine.

OCW leaves a very sharp high shine kind of reminiscent of Klasse SG both in liquid form and end resul, but not as 'glassy' as SG.

AW was glossy but muddled in comparison. I'd say AW is better for neutral colors like white or light colors like yellow and well most Anything works well on red or black.



the OCW + CJ mix is coming, soon as I can remember to order tha dang thing.





This is Pink Wax, Aqua Wax, 425

I've tried the EX-P, and it's excellent, but not what I'm looking for. It makes the car look super clear and can blind the occasional viewer (well, not really :) ), but the EX I used on my black DSM just made the paint flow.
