Silver can be a tricky one to get a good deep shine on, and you won't be able to shine the car like say, dark blue or black.

However, you can still get an excellent finish.

I'd polish with Clearkote Vanilla Moose glaze, then use either...

an all in one product like Klasse AIO, as your glaze/sealant,

or...

split these into individual products, as you will get a slightly deeper shine with ClearKote Red Moose Glaze, sealed with Poorboy's EX-P. You could even try Poorboy's EX, meant for darker finishes, as this can give a 'pearled' style deeper finish on light colours. This is unusual, but a few people in the States have tried it with results they're pleased with.

Finish up with Optimum Car Wax, a great final stage on silver, and excellent to use

Gaz, I assume the above would be the best for Auralis Blue aswell??? Ive only ever used AutoGlym SRP and was thinking of trying something different too.

Rich - i've used the above on Auralis before, and you'll get a brilliant finish. You should definately use EX-P, not EX though, as the EX-P will empasise your flake and suits Auralis. Layer the OCW (it's designed to be layered and responds well to this) to achieve the depth of finish that you're after.

If you need any other help, then give me a shout
