waxing a silver cl-s

what's the best wax to bring to color to use on a silver car? I know it won't look as deep as black or red.

what do you think?

I have 4 coats of zaino on my silver. When the sun hits it, you can see each flake of the metallic silver reflecting the light!
If you have something dark in the background, like a deep blue sky, the finish is very deep and reflective.
I returned to my car one day, thinking who beat the crap out of my hood? When I got closer it was just the mirror reflection of the tree nearby!

That's funny, before I got used to the Zaino, I was getting some funny reflections off some of the letters 'A' 'C' 'U' 'R' 'A' and other metal on to the silver -- I was about ready to "clean" a defect, when I realized that it was the reflection on the silver. It sounds silly until just the right angle of light and sun hits the Zaino. Boy, it is very reflective.

Ditto on the reflections. Check out some of the pictures around the forum (of Zaino cars with images reflected in the pain).

When the sun is almost down, my car picks up these tree next to my garage, and the clarity is amazing.

Zaino == great stuff for Sliver cars (and others). It will also help protect your car!

(my opinions expressed)
