which wax for silver

**AFD660** · 07-21-2008, 03:09 AM

i just got done washing, clay baring, polishing, and waxing my 2007 tundra. i used the klasse sealant, and topped it off with 2 coats of signature series 2 wax. it seems to me that the wax didnt make it as shiny or reflective as i wanted. but this is my first silver vehicle so i dont know if its the paint color or what. i had a black porsche before this one and every time it was polished and waxed, i could read the street sign down the block in the reflection. lol. i was wondering if anybody had recommendations for silver paint... thanks.

i think the best waxes for silvers are: Sig Series II, Max Wax, & liquid souveran

hi

Silver will never shine as much as well done black car but it will never look as bad as a neglected black car. It's a great color if you don't want to waste time to maintain it. Then again if you on this forum you're probably as crazy as me lol.

Sig Series II or DP Max Max here too...

I used Souveran Paste on my previous silver Vette and loved the wet-look. Didnt necessarily bring out the metallic, but I didnt care.

Did anyone actually read the first post? He did use Sig Series II.

Like Dave said you are never going to get silver paint to reflect like black.

I agree ,DP Maxwax is my favourite wax but if you ever decide to go with sealants for your silver paint ,try Duragloss #501 and #105 combo.

I have a silver car. I find the best for absolute shine has been Opti-seal. I also like AW on top of it as a maintenance item. I have found the sig II and Max give a 'warmer' look. Both looks are great but the silver and the flake 'pop' the most with Opti-seal and AW.
