Cool Re: silver paint

Hey their PT17,

Just for easy reference, here is the rundown.

You will need a:

1. Clay Bar WHY? To remove all parasitic contaminants from your paint.
Meguiar's Direct Smooth SurfaceŽ Clay Kit Cost: $19.99

2. Meguiar's Show Car Glaze WHY? To add oils, and nutrients to your paint.
Meguiar's Direct Show Car Glaze - Cost: $10.22

3. Meguiar's Hi-Tech Yellow Wax WHY? To protect your paint.
Meguiar's Direct Hi-Tech Yellow Wax Liquid - Cost: $12.50

Were over budget by $2.72, but thats as close as I could get it. The only other things you will need are 6 clean Microfiber rags for polishing, and removing chemicals, some dishwashing soap (Has a high PH Ballance to strip any old wax, and related products off your paint), a wash mitt, and a chamois, or towel to dry with. Once you get everything, here is how you get a good shine on your paint:

Its a bit more complicated than just a quick wax job, but with a bit of work, you should be able to bang it out in a weekend, and if you do all the above in order, I can guarantee you will see a significant improvement in both your gloss, and depth of your paint, and your ride will look great!

I wish you the vest of luck, and if you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line anytime!

Take er easy!
