#1: Detailed 206 Quicksilver and attempted "artistic pictures" Author: LukeS, Location: GloucesterPosted: Sat Aug 13, 2011 8:03 am ---- My 2nd ever attempt at detailing and I wish I had never started... my arms are dead!
Also fancied the opporunity to take some pics while she was lovely and clean although Ive been finding it really hard to get a nice deep reflective shine on silver, any ideas?

Sealants usually offer a crisper more reflective finish than waxes as well so you could try one of them out.

Where as my black one is really easy to get a reflective finish but is a pig to keep clean

#7: Re: Detailed 206 Quicksilver and attempted "artistic pictures" Author: LukeS, Location: GloucesterPosted: Sat Aug 13, 2011 12:44 pm ---- I used a bilt-hamber clay bar as it seemed the most recommended on Detailing World and it only requires water as lubricant.
What glaze and sealant would you suggest Jordan?

as said unfortunately silvers not a good colour to get a deep shine on although it stays looking a lot cleaner than most colours
#9: Re: Detailed 206 Quicksilver and attempted "artistic pictures" Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Sat Aug 13, 2011 4:57 pm ---- I havent taken many pictures of late for a number of reasons but heres one from a month or two ago...
Glaze wise id look at Chemical Guys EZ Creme glaze and for the sealant Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 is very good. Have a word with Tom from WashWarehouse he will sort you out with both of them for the best price
