Recommended Products for Sliver
Hi All,
Looking for advise on the best products to make my Scooby in Silver to have a deep colour and shine.:wonder: Silver as you know is very hard to get depth to the finish:rolleyes: Any ideas welcome... Cheers:notworthy |

theres a guide right at the top of this section bud look under the white and light colours
jeff`s werkstat kit works very well just done my white hawkeye with the full kit and it has given it such a wet look with alot of gloss and is a doddle to use. |
It's the prep that is important here. It'll need a really good polish, preferably machine polished. Then go for the Werkstatt Acrylic, Blackfire All mirror Finish or Dodo Light Fantastic. :thumb:

I have used the werkstat kit now for over a year and it is very easy to use and does give a good finish, very conditioned with good durability, but it doesn't give you the wet look that I am now after hence why I am going to switch to the Dodo juice.

Have YOU seen the finish from the dodo juice, I personally think it gives a much wetter look but perhaps not the durability, but I don't mind adding a fresh coat of wax more often. |
I have every wax Dodo produce and used to use them as my wax of choice when professionally detailing ;). Being a light colour you will struggle to show how wet the paint is in a photo.
To get the best out of any product though it's the prep that counts. You can have the £10k a tub of Zymol and if the paint isn't prepped properly it'll only looked like a £10 tub from halfrauds has been slapped on it. |
point taken :D
How do you rate the lime prime and super Natural wax combo? |
Lime prime is a great product. It has a reasonable amount of cut without being harsh enough to leave marring and leaves a great surface to lay down the super natural. IMO to get a paste wax that beats SN you'd have to spend a couple of hundred on a pot. If applied correctly you can get 4 cars worth maybe more out of a panel pot. :D

GG - Opie Oils have discount on Dodo atm :thumb:

Really !!!!!!!! I thought they only did oil. Cheers for that mate I will have a look now :thumb:

They've always done a few cleaning products and have only just added Dodo to their range. I got an email from them last night. There's also a thread in the group buy section.
