    For lighter colors I personally prefer sealants. I find that the best way to make lighter colors look good is to make them as reflective as possible verses a deep wet look. Do you have any sealants on hand?

    I have Opt seal and fourstar sealant ( not upp). but I can appy sealant after wax? I throught lsp only increase 5% of the shine, would ultrafina make it bettter?

    I use Poorboys EX-P on my our pearl silver Honda Odyssey. I apply it with a PC, let it sit for a good 20-30 minutes (while I clean other stuff), then buff gently.

    The shine and reflectivity is incredible.

    I just got Klasse sealant glaze and on my black TSX, it's amazing. Will try it on the silver as soon as the weather warms up.

    You right in that the LSP only increases 5% but that 5% can totally change a cars look. Take a black car and and apply a highly reflective sealant to one side and apply a warm nuba to the other you can see a clear difference. Opti-seal is unique in that you can apply it on top of another sealant or wax so you could give it a try. Just note in the future that most sealants are best used as a base coat..

    I reserve ultrafina for darker color cars as the results are more noticable but on a lighter tone the gains are negligible.

    I asked a similar question on Meguiar's Online. You might find this thread helpful:
