I would wash and then go throught the meguiars 3 step system emoji Every couple of months or so I do this to get all the road grime and tar off of my paint. The paint cleaner works wonders!

lol, I used to have Meguiar's 3 step and it was awesome. Now I'm too lazy to even apply a 1 step process. emoji

Wash to remove the dirt, polish to give it shine, and carnauba wax to protect the paint.

honestly, ive tried waxing, and all those other products, but no matter what i do, silver always looks bling bling emoji

As for dark color cars, man, i had to wash my uncle's prowler one day, it took forever to get all the water spots out, it was black. and on that car, wax made it shine alot more!!

Yeah, wash it up really good and dry it and all that. Get any crap that didn't come off the paint like tar and stuff off of it. Possibly use a clay bar for things like that. I use 3M IHG, Imperial Hand Glaze as a polish and seal it with #26 Meguiar's Yellow Wax.

I am a Zaino follower. So I have no choice but to suggest Zaino. For my car I use Z-2 with ZFX. Then followed by Z-6. Here see for yourself what it does. Works good for silver works great for the black on my WRX. emoji emoji
