Can Arctic grey/silver ibiza really be made to shine

[Armitageshanks]

After doing a T-cut and standard wash and wax on my car it looked very clean and lovely but i don't think the colour is the best for getting the noticeable 'wow' sparkle like other colours i.e black, red blue. Can someone add their opinion or advice on this.

cheers

Try claying it-meguiars do a good detailing kit.It really smooths out the paintwork and removes the impurities.

Your rite I have an arctic grey ibiza and its the same, its the colour!You dont get any depth with silver as its a light colour! Ive always been advised not to use wax but a sealant instead as wax will dull the metallic flakes!

well when i bought my platinum grey leon it didnt really shine now after treating it preoperly ie clay bar ands wax most times its lovely.......

if the paint gets a good proper clean 2 or 3 times a year the paint looks pretty good.

You can't get straight on shine reflections from Arctic Silver. You can really make it glow though. Some products really bring out the mest of the metallic.

Meguiars NXT range is good for it.

Actually, i parked up alongside a silver Merc and it was very shiny due to the glitter /metallic flecks in the paint, so i guess if i can get summat that brings these into prominence i'd be happy.
