    Best product for Silver paint

    My 2001 Eclipse is Silver - This seems to be a difficult color to make really reflective, since it really doesn`t have a lot of depth. It does hide the swirls tho

    Can anyone offer any pointers on how to get the DEEPEST shine possible with a silver finish? Here`s what I do right now (the same as I did on my GF`s Civic)

    1. Wash
    2. Dry
    3. Clay
    4. Meguiar`s #7
    5. Buff with a flannel cloth to a gloss
    5. Meguiar`s #26, allowing to dry for a few minutes
    6. Buff with MF to a gloss

    I do all of this by hand.

    Thanks for the advice.

    I work on a couple of cars that are silver and here is what I do.

    Wash and dry
    Clay
    Polish P&S Car Produst
    swril remvoer 3M Product
    Hand Glaze 3M product
    WAx P&S Product

    I use P&S alot but I know that any good products sold on this site should work.
    Zaino is one that alot on here think that it can give you that deep wet look shine.

    The one thing that I try and do is get the paint as clean and smooth as possible that sets it up for a good shine

    You might also look at sealant as well.

    I don`t know from experience, but I remember seeing a post on here that UPP looks fantastic on silver finishes.... which I am sure it does!
