I have a light silver Honda that can take on a light green tint in certain kinds of light. Does anyone know of a sealant and/or carnuba that they would recommend in this case? Maybe a sealant that will darken the paint. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Our silver Lincoln has EX-P topped with Collinite 915, looks great, deffinitley no green tint. Collinite 845 looks excellent on silver as well. Sorry no pics, and it's raining anyway. You sure it's not in the flake (the green tint)? Some stuff like NXT was known for slightly changing the color to a different hue sometimes.

Thanks for the input. I have Liquid Soveran so I'll try that. Surfer, there isn't a lot of flake in the paint so I'm not sure why it looks green. I have a silver Acura which has a lot of flake and the color looks bright and doesn't have a green tint at all. Any thoughts on a sealant that will darken the paint? Thanks.

Meguiar's #21 will darken the finish, so is NXT. Poli-Seal has the same effect too.

seems obvious : stop parking next to green tree's and grass. (DOH)

Seriously ... used Pinnacle Souveran for years, no green, well other than envy!!

I would agree with killrwheels. I have had a number of silver cars and I have never seen any of them have a green tint unless it was a reflection. If it really does have a green tint I don't think any kind of wax or sealant is going to change that.

S/C 5.4 V8, or a mean ass TT setup if you send to Heffners Performance here:D. Love that car, one of the guys here we know has a Gulf Port color one w/ pulley swap, headers and Borla Race exhaust.....it's freaking loud!!! Sparkie, what dealer was that? White w/ Blue Stripes is the best look on that car imo.

Nice SS btw Al.
