Best wax for Alabaster Silver

civictypesEX · 04-12-2008, 11:03 PM

I understand that some waxes are better that others when it comes to colour. Does anyone know of a good wax for a silver car or a silver polish?

Silver is kind of a hard color to bring depth to. You can add to the shine however. There are a myriad of sealants and waxes to use. I would try Meguiar's NXT 2.0 for fun. It is priced right, leaves an unbelievable shine and should highlight your paint.

Another option is to use PS21, which is a show car type wax. It might just do the trick on that elegant silver paint.

I waxed my 4 day old EX-L with my good old Nu-Finish paste i've used for years on several vehicles and it came out very nice, but im gonna give this NXT 2.0 stuff a try nice time.

NXT 2.0 works well for me. It goes on easy and comes off easy too.

I clayed and waxed with Black Magic this past weekend, but couldn't see a difference.

You have one, beautiful car. I remember when you posted pics last year after you got your car. So elegant, so shiny. There is a certain classiness about ASM that I love.

As for the NXT 2.0, it works really well.
