There's plenty to choose from and they all do pretty much the same job. Auto Finesse's Tough Coat is great value for money and really easy to use!

wolfs body wrap or hard body, very easy to use and not to pricey.

Chemical Guys do some great products  :happy2:

I had awesome results with Chemical Guys Blacklight Radiant Finish polish  :notworthy:
and V7 Hybrid Paint sealant spray.

I would normally say +2 for Werkstatt, but after using it for 5 years with excellent results, i woul dlike to try Wolfs Body wrap... if you do get Jeff's acrylic kit, from www.polishedbliss.co.uk then when the paint is clean and polished, apply the 'prime' by DA if you can, by hand is fine though, then just build up the layers of the Jett, then finish off with the gloss...

Use quite sparingly apply with a cloth which will dampen, and have a second cloth to buff off dry...

I'm gonna try the wolfs body wrap in my next order so will let yuou know how i get on... so werkstat pics though...

Yea as said above use a sealant first then lay down a coat of wax last ,the last silver car i did a correction detail on i used auto finesse tough coat for the sealant and then a layer of auto finesse wax and it looked awesome ! its very hard to make a silver car look very glossy
