You can try a fairly inexpensive beauty wax like Natty's, P21S, Max Wax...but silver is going to be tough.

I had a silver Corvette and originally used Mequiar's Gold Class which looked good until I tried Griot's Best of Show Wax...it made a dramatic difference. The finish looked a foot deep. I was really impressed with the appearance.

Souveran really looks good on my wife's silver Lexus SC430. As has been said, silver is a tough color to get a great depth of shine.

CG Blacklight topped with V7 really gave my silver a darker, rich tone. Blackfire Sealant topped with Blackfire Ivory carnuaba also gives a nice deep tone to silver.

I use Fuzion on my Silver Challenger and I think the paint has plenty of depth. Real heppy with it.

I used CG jetseal 109 topped with CG 50/50 on my silver charger. That added real nice depth and good protection.

P21S 100% Pure Carnuba looked great on my old titanium silver BMW. However, it doesn't seem to get much praise in this forum. I'm not sure why. Maybe there marketing / labeling is very average. I don't know. Ive never used Sovereign or Fuzion, maybe they are better. However, I have used liquid Sovereign and the P21S blows it away.

Are you looking for depth, slickness and/or durability? Give a high,medium, low weighting to each and I am sure you will get some more responses. Any wax is going to make silver look really good.... the key is your expectations.

Bobby,

As any good autogeeker, I have completed your method before but I was looking to try something different. I am saving 845 for the harsh Long Island winter, but wanted something a little different.

I took a flier on some Autoglym HD wax for $20, so I am gonna give that a shot. I was also thinking of ordering some samples of Dodo as a backup.

Appreciate the repsonses and keep em coming, I am gonna load up on something else.

I tried black light w/v7 and bfwd on my silver metalic acura. Black light with v7 gave a glossy glow while the bfwd gave it more of a crisp reflection. I prefer the bfwd over the v7 as i was looking more for a crispy clear instead of a glow.

Haha, I agree!

We live in a 3 dimensional world so sharpen the pencil and try a few...:props:

It's interesting to try different samples to see how they perform, not only in appearance but ease of application, buffing, tints, lack of dusting etc....
