The car is silver with metalic flake. I wont be doing any correction, since I dont have my PC yet. The paint is in good condition, except for the hood which has scratches from their cat. Ill try to diminish those as best as I can with 1Z or scratchX.

Anyways what should I use to get the paint to POP and look wet? The guy loved the way my spice red gto looked with Ez-creme over #26, but I want him to have more durability...

Heres my arsenal - WG DGS, DG 601 - 105 - Aquawax, Megs #5 - #26, ## Ez-Creme, ONR/WG/Pinnacle QDs

I was thinking maybe WG DGS or 105 over 601, and if the look isnt up to par maybe top with Ez-Creme?

Thanks.

To really get the pop going you need to use one of these DG #101, #105, XMT 360 or AIO first. They are a cleaner polishes...Then put what ever you want on top of them.

Well I already did it...
Washed with DG in bucket and DG/DP EF in foamgun, clayed with meg's white, and then did 105 over 601 PBA

It looks good, and the owner is happy. Ill post pics

On metallic silver I like Pinnicle Signiture Serices the best of any products I have tried so far.

+1 for Sig II series and WG DGS looks great on light colors as well.

Well damn..you guys are a little late. LOL
I should have used DGS with 601 instead of 105, especially with how much he paid me..

Day late and a dollar short :( oh and UPP has a strong reputation on all detailing boards for looking great on silver (Jeff's Werkstatt(sp?) as well).
