Used to hate silver but over the past year or so iv started taking a real liking to the colour. I've been saying for a while that i think silver will be the next 'cool' thing for cars but it still isnt happening

IMO looks good on sports/prestigous cars but boring on standard looking cars.

Silver on the right car does look good, prepped, polished and treated with the right LSP can look good too - annoys me when people say you can't make silver look shiny - you're just crap at cleaning cars!

I'd probably also get bored of silver if I had to look out at a forecourt of them everyday though Tom! Both yours and car sales forecourts lol

I know that if it was black it would look far worse

I was just trying to state that when they are dirty they dont look clean! You can still see it all, and after only a few miles I can see the dirt with just a quick look on that 307!

I do love the wet look you can achieve on silver though

That is a plus! With the right LSP it can look like glass

Silver suits mine imo. Bit boring tho. Wanted Ice White or Lava Grey really. Soooo glad I didn't get white now tho with the mileage I do. Silver hides dirt

bit non discript for me

Prefer bold colours - white or red

Prefer silver to black though - never own a black car again in my life

Some slivers are nice though like AVUS silver I had on the TT but to me thats not a true silver as it had blue tint to it

Rich can you recommend any products to clean a silver car?

Mines a star silver Astra. I'm currently using AG SRP and that Werkstat Jett Sealent spray thing. Just ran out of the Jett spray actually.

The problem with silver I find is the colour isn't indicative to reflection. Well not as reflective as black say.
