Re: Impossible to see polish breaking down on silver car

I basically just have to make 4-5 passes and then assume I should wipe it off...it's very frustrating.

Hijackings happen. Back to your original post. If after 4-5 passes, it looks good and feels good enough, it probably is.

Re: Impossible to see polish breaking down on silver car

I have a silver car and truck. Silver is one of those colors that's difficult to see just about anything and while it doesn't hide anything it makes it very difficult to detect surface defects.

In the right lighting I can see some minor defects then correct for them a small section at a time. I keep my vehicles in good shape so for the most part I'll start with Meguiar's M205 then Menzerna PO85RD. From here I'll either apply a sealant and then a good quality wax for protection and I have to say, at this point the paint looks wet..

Silver is one of those colors that's easy to take care of.

Once you’ve applied a very thin layer you should be able to see a difference in the the lighting's reflection. The polished area should look translucent, like Vaseline®.

I'm with you Floyd on this and I have a 05 Machine Silver Vette myself. The best I can do with the product I apply is an insane shine but the shade of color will never POP like say a red or blue. I spend alot of time cleaning and polishing but with little results until I get under a light in the dark the paint simply has a noticable shine.
