Of these, what's best for metallic silver...

Last weekend my boyfriend acquired a nice 1999 BMW 328i, in metallic silver. It has 127k on it so at some point this summer when I get my paint correction stuff and hone in on technique it's gonna get corrected, as there are some minor scuffs and some fading in the paint to be dealt with. For now though, I'm just trying to find a nice wax/sealant (or maybe a combo of the two) to use on it. Which of these LSP's (Or combination of them) that I own will provide the best look, as well as provide excellent durability? It will be parked outside 24/7 so durability is definitely a priority.

I have...

Autoglym HD
Collinite 845
Zymol Carbon
P21S carnuba
Menzerna Powerlock
Zymol Cleaner wax
Meguiars Gold Class
Meguiars Cleaner wax

As I have no power equipment yet I shall be applying the LSP by hand.

On a side note, I do have some Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. If I have some spare time, do you think it would be a good idea to try to hand polish (I only have foam applicators at the moment) some of the minor scuffs out, or save that until I order some stuff for paint correction?

Thanks!

Power lock then carbon.

 

845 and P21s both have a "bright" look that look good on silver metallic... Powerlock is also another good one

 

Id say 845+Carbon or Powerlock+Carbon. I believe Carbon is "meant" for darker cars, where as Creme is meant for lighter cars, but I doubt they are very different and it work just fine

 

My guess is that the color titanium silver. I applied 845 with one that I did in that color.

 

powerlock+p21s

 

2 coats of Powerlock for what you have,if and when you do a future purchase.Pick up some Werkstatts AJT. BEAUTIFUL looks on silvers

 

YES....as does duragloss and zaino...

I'd pick 845 or PowerLock out of that group.

 

I'd recommend Werkstat over Zaino.
Werkstat Prime + 2 coats of Acrylic Jet Trigger.
Zaino looks really good but only after the sixth coat or so.
