I'm not new to polishing and waxing a car to a deep shine. I've even had the paint on a white truck look amazing and deep, however my '19 Corvette that is painted Blade Silver is a challenge. I've got the random orbital polisher, paint prep polish etc. The car stays in the garage during the week and usually only comes out on weekends. I've looked online and tried to compare waxes however that seems to be a pretty subjective subject. I've looked into the Griots paste Carnuba wax and I also see where the Pinnacle Souveran is highly rated as well. Dark colors are easier to make look amazing, is it possible with silver? Thanks

Very possible. As with any color the real shine comes from leveling the paint. So polish away-as this is what gives 95% of your shine. Lighter color's benefit more from a sealant / coating than they do from carnuba's. The Souveran is a beauty wax and will add a little pop but longevity-not really. A nice look can be achieved on light colors with Kamikaze Overcoat . There are several choices and combos that will work.PNS topped by BSD will give a great look and last. Gyeon CanCoat is an easy to apply coating lite. So many choices
