I know silver isn't a great colour to get to look really shiny. The car is nearly two years old and the paint is in good condition with no swirl marks.
The question is what do i use to get the paint to shine? I use SRP and White Diamond glaze, I hear very good things about Dodo Lime Prime.
Will I get better results using Lime Prime or another product you guys can recommend?

Hi Jim,
as its swirl free lime prime by hand then white diamond if you feel you need it but tbh it wont add anything then either Supernatural or Supernatural hybrid or megs 16 or colli 476/845 over the top or go for a couple of layers of sealant,
silvers/whites look very good with just sealants or the waxes ive stated, layering will help bump up the finish and ensure even coverage.

Thanks again mate, when my AG SRP runs out what would you put your own money into?

I have separate glazes and sealant, are these suggested products worth adding to my collection as already use the things that it replaces?
A nice high quality polish that doesn't cut is what I'm after (I think) :laugh:

imo yes they are worth having, need for speed has no cut in it and the festool mpa9000 is a little thicker than nfs but both are good cleansers really with a tweek of sealant or carnauba in nfs.
if you are applying by hand Jim then cut is irrelevant as you would have to be going for it to get any correction with all in ones ;)
the chemical guys all in one has quite a bit of cut from what i remember when i had it.
these coupled with a wax or a sealant ontop will get your car blinging which is what your opening post is asking;)
