Well, there's tons of good stuff out there, it just depends on what you're looking for. Are you looking more for a clean, reflective look or for a deep, wet look? Do you want to use sealant(s) or wax(es)? Or both? What kind of prep will you be doing?

Chemical Guys Factory Sealant probably gives a clean look on silver, judging by the description, but I haven't tried it yet. Everyone loves UPP on silver too (as you could probably tell :lol: ).

Nope, that would be it. You could use Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection Spray to boost the wax between waxings though.

if you want to see if your paint needs to be clay barred wash the vehicle, and then put your hand inside a plastic sandwhich baggie and run it over the paint. if you feel a little anything but smooth paint you can claybar. Even though the vehicle is new that doesnt mean that the paint doesnt have contaminants from shipping ect. it cant hurt, so if in doubt, clay it, it only takes about an extra 10 minutes or so to do.
I personally like UPP on silver too, and most other colors.
