What Wax/Protectant for new respray in Royal Silver
 

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h2...e/326c4ef6.jpg

Car has had a high quality respray about 3 months ago in Royal Silver - and has not been on the road yet.

What Wax/Protectant should I use to give it a protective coating?


Thanks

hi sy, what lip on the boot lid is that? very nice looking sleeper btw :)

BMW 3 series E46 4 door sport rear spoiler - 2 door ones fit but are a tad too long - also I bought a non genuine one and it melted in the over, so recommned only gen BMW ones - paid £70 from Cooks Ferry BMW North London.

Nice looking car mate ;)

IMO a sealant would be my choice over wax on that colour, go with some thing along the lines of Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger - Werkstat Car Care and Detailing Products

Sy,

If your looking for a wax to give you good protection then something like collinite 915 is one of the best. A couple of coats will see you 6 months.

Too add some wetness and maintain durability then the jeff's kit from PB is very good on silver colours.

+1 for the werkstatt. these are the results that i got on a silver bmw Sy

the other option would be to layer the dodo soft and hard waxes that are colour charged for lighter colours. light fantastic and diamond white.

if it was me i'd go with a light machine polish finished down with menz 85rd and poorboys white diamond glaze and then follow up with the layering of dodo. have all these products at home.

shout if you want a hand. i've detailed the majority of the esc cars ;)

Another one here for the Jeffs kit from PB, brilliant stuff and works really well on the silvers and my cool grey colours:

How about some lovely Dodo Juice as mentioned above by Matt.

only colour i have that's been dodo'd to hand is my red type ra. but you can get similar results on lighter colours with the waxes that are colourcharged for light colours
