Silver Tundra - going for hard as candy look

[fredcandetail]

Just picked up a Metallic Silver Sky '12 Tundra that will but into the fleet and while we all know its inpossible to create depth like that on the warmer colors i've decided to go for the glossy - hard as candy reflective look.
Might try Opti Seal or UPGP maybe even some V7 ... thoughts from anyone that has the lighter shades (champagnes,or pearls)

wolfgang 3.0 ,collinite 845, klasse sealant. and optimum car wax have all really made my tundra POP

see my fb page www.facebook.com/WickedReflections

picks are on there see what ya think of my tundra

I would for sure say Klasse AIO followed by 2 or 3 coats of Klasse Sealant Glaze. You'r Tundra will look like it was dipped in glass!

I've been digging the Opti Seal on silver, it looks great. Prep is pretty important as with anything but I threw a coat on with no prep on a 2012 F-250 that was Silver 2 tone and it came out beyond amazing!

For a candied look it's hard to beat multiple coats of either Klasse or Ultima sealants.

Congrats on the new vehicle. I have silver car and I'm really amazed how deep the

paint looks with Wolfgang Fuzion. When I look at the hood when I'm driving it

looks like my hood is soaking wet. i did polish it first so I'm sure that helped

UPGP /thread

Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid gets my vote. I have it on my mom's beige Accord and it looks like it was dipped in glass. Frickin' awesome product.

thanks for the feedback guys, i went to the ole Menz Micro Polish followed by 2 coats of 2 year old Opti Seal and it came out OK - i wonder if OS went bad .... i used to use this on boats and it was awesome .. who knows
I've got some UPGP but on my black Tahoe that streaks like crazy and never goes on even or thin for that matter
I've got some 85RD, PowerLock, AGHD, CarBrite Nano Wax, Souveran these all do very well for darker cars but for making metallic silver pop i guess i'll keep experimenting

I've seen some silver threads, and they seem to bring up Klasse AIO/SG alot and then the Werkstat products as well like acrylic jet.
