Whatever you want and depends on how you're applying it, as well as your own preferences.

For wax, colourcharged seems to be the rage for silver colours.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I was a wax person but lately I have come around to using sealants, I coated the whole caddy in AG egp on sunday and it looks dam fine.

Definitely a sealant on a silver car, as they are generally more reflective than waxes, which compliments the colour very well, you also generally get better 'flake pop' with a sealant, again working with the qualities of the colour

I used to be indecisive.......... but now I'm not so sure!

I think I will have a look at buying some of this. I was looking at poor boys polish with sealant and poor boys EX-P sealant on Sunday but didnt end up buying any. Any body tried the 2 i mentioned?

When I had my reflex silver golf I used CG EZ GLAZE followed by CG WET MIRROR FINISH.Then AG HD wax.This was nearly 2 years ago though.Don't forget though that preperation is the key for paint work.
Here are a few pics of my golf.Not the best because they were done with my phone



Hope this helps :happy2:
