"Pop" on silver paint

[AZpolisher15]

Hey guys. I've got a 2015 4runner. Classic silver color. And I just can NOT get this paint to pop. Not looking for longevity, but what's a good maintenance product (wax/detail spray) that will make this color pop a little more? I know it's a tough color, but I can't even make this paint look any different than no product at all.

I have a base coat of HiDef Sealant on it.

I have an '08 Silver 4runner sport. I understand what you mean. A couple products I have liked on mine were CG Blitz which is a spray that you treat like a liquid wax (spread out, let dry to haze then buff off). Works really well on windows/chrome too.

Wolfgang Fusion and Deep gloss paint sealant, Megs d156, and Optimum spray wax. I tend to use all sealants on mine being a DD.

PERL diluted 1:1 for the trim and tires.

Has it been decon'd and polished?

Collinite 915 on silver is awesome!

Your LSP is only going to be 10% of the total shine. You must polish to get the other 90% of gloss.

After polishing, I find that the “glassy” look is best for making silver paint pop.

Ceramic coatings work well to achieve this.

If you go with a sealant, FK1000P is very nice on silver. Acrylic spray waxes like Ultimate Acrylic Spray Wax also work very well in making silver paint pop.

I've had good luck with Essence topped with Mckees 37 Coating topped with Hydro Blue regularly on my Silver LGT - I did a good polish a few years back as well - so that's more maintenance now....

•Maximizing the clarity and smoothness
of the CC goes a long way towards making
that difference you’re looking for—(getting
the paint to pop)—a reality.

•Afterwards:
-A Finishing Sealant will add protection,
and a little enhancement, to the CC.

•Here are a couple of my Sealant suggestions:
-Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant
-Finish Kare 1000P
-SON1C Wax Carnaubavore

Polish Angel Master Sealant + Rapidwaxx did well on this otherwise dull paint.

Someone around this forum has some pics of a white SUV done in a Polish Angel product and it's just fantastic, luscious. Not silver but if it does that to white...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181213/8eaa48334c7ea267a6845ee5e2b7dfb4.jpg

Yep. I applied 360 and then HiDef.

Ooh I have some Ultima Acrylic in the closet. Will try it.

Sounds like I should try a dedicated polish instead of the 360.

When did you polish last? I mean where they are no swirls. Do a 50/50 with something like Megs 205 and see the difference.
