I like Megs quick wax..for waxing quickly or Collinites911 for a deeper more protective wax.

I use Auto Glym HD wax, IMO its really good. but if you dont wana spend much a good sealent like AG Extra Gloss Protection With do the same job and last a bit longer

Plenty to choose from & people have favorites, so depends on what you like the look of + your budget.

I use the two below on titanium, both around the £30.00 mark

Maybe try R222 not bad results for price (£27) plus easy to use ? doesnt last as long as some of the others though. I

I also use Dodo Juice (Green) which gives a nice glossy finish + lasts abit longer Imo

On silver, sealants tend to work the best, so something like Carlack NSC/LLS or the Jeffs Prime system.

Another good choice is the ClearKote range

Dont bother with a wax Maynard, go for a sealant instead.

I can highly recommend Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic Jett Trigger on silver cars. Leaves a superb reflective glossy finish and is highly durable. Easy to put 4 or 5 layers on as I have for maximum protection.

Plus ease of use means you'll do the whole car in around 15 minutes.:approve:

You can only get it from www.polishedbliss.co.uk

Around £15 or so [without checking]

^^^ I disagree . Seal it then wax it . Wax offers more protection from the elements , bird sh!t than a sealant does . Don't go overboard on silver as you won't see alot of difference between the high end waxes and cheaper ones .

Jeffs is good sealant , so is Chemical guys blitz sealant .

Yes you can certainly wax it afterwards, remembering once waxed, if you want to top up the protection it should be with a wax.

AFAIK its good practice NOT to seal over wax, but you CAN wax over sealants.

You can use the blitz sealant over a wax , therefore building up layers of protection

And no side effects of clouding or anything?? Cool.
