Default Silver Cars.

I Cleaned the car over the weekend.
I have always had darker cars that look wet once polished/waxed.

This one is just grey/silver and with the kit I have just looks clean.
What would be the best product for that wet look?

Also as I do high Motorway miles I need some thing to get rid of Bugs and Tar, could any one recommend some items.

Thanks

Silver is very hard to get the wet look,the last one i did was a new bmw and even with a swissvax wax its didnt look amazing like a red or black.

Do the usual decontamination clay/iron x ect.
Then get the clear nice and level (ie swirl removal) spend some time burnishing with a nice fine finishing polish,then maybe use a sealant like werkstat.

Bugs should come off easy enough when washing if you have protection,and for tar you need some autosmart tardis.
