Cleaned my car last week. I find it's hard to get a silver car proper gleaming. Some advice would be good

Get a Black One
To be honest it looks really good to me
,I have had silver cars before and I think it is just one of those colours they never look as shiny as say ..Black !Cleaned my car last week. I find it's hard to get a silver car proper gleaming. Some advice would be good
use a sealant rather than a wax for results on silver
Trying some of this stuff out next week - http://www.vertar.com/zymol/zymol-waxes-glazes/zymol-concours-glaze/
It better be good.

It's the guys in the picture, yes my mates wash my car
Boggo standard Halfords pressure washer with a lance and snow foam dispenser from a guy in Doncaster that sells plumbing equipment/pipes/fittings etc. Nothing Karcher here. The pipe that connects the lance to the pressure washer has some kind of funky metal wire in it, it's super hard/flexible and doesn't kink
What shampoo product is recommended for use with a foam lance?

Hmmm - I assume you're getting it done by someone who's **** hot?
I'm sure it'll be pretty stunning, but I think a lot of this stuff is more about the technique than the product itself.
Will you be providing some car cleaning porn to contribute to this thread?
I'm going to do the 599 myself. I had my 911 and Q7 done my a Zymol specialist and its all down to surface prep. It's not difficult if you do it before the car picks up lots of surface defects and you are thorough.Hmmm - I assume you're getting it done by someone who's **** hot?

Good stuff, I look forward to it
I found with my TT it needed a light polish when i got it detailed only 3 weeks after pickup, but I would expect Ferrari to look after their cars a lot better than Audi!
na, that prize goes to:

Concours is great stuff Spie, you won't be disappointed
Are you using Zymol HD cleanse prior to the wax stage?
I cleaned a Megane F1 in Liquid Yellow last year and he asked me to use this (he supplied it). He actually specified that i applied it by hand (which i did) and the results were superb, such a great shine

For the amount you're paying for a tub of Zymol concours, I'd be tempted to go a little bit extra and get either starter or complete kit.

Looking through a few pages it looks like people spend way to much on cleaning stuff!
I spend £25 on 10l of 'Muc Off' which lasts me a whole year on two bikes plus I use Mr Sheen, thats about 75p a can. I know they're motorbicycles but paint is paint and bikes have a lot more nooks and cranny's.

I've had a search of this thread and found a lot of people do not use sponges but uses mitts instead. Would something like this be better than a sponge?
