When I bought it it was dull and flat, you could feel the grime when you run your fingers cross it, but now, well a completely different story.
 Even on a dull day it shines and yes same car just a few additions

Silver never looks really bad, and can be hyper reflective with strong glistening from the flake, but then its less glossy. If you go for gloss, you lose the flake pop, its a choice really.
Having said that from the right angle even the reflective, flake poppy look can be glossy. Its very sunlight dependant.

Silver cars are not meant to shine, their beauty lies in the fact that they don't need washing much..
Bit like my weggie bloo innit... Nice pic parker, shame about the bent mirrors...  ... Last edited by James.uk; 1st October 2012 at 15:36.. |

Update
Re-washed after hitting a puddle that made car look like I'd been off roading - well, nice overcast morning, with nothing to do, so I put another 2 layers of KP1000 on and then a quick spray of 'Citrus Bling'.
She's looking good, but still not what I want - would a couple of layers of carnauba wax on top help?? Or is it I just don't like silver!!!!
