How do you guys get & keep that showroom shine?

I want my car to have that deep perfect gloss... What are you guys using as far as polish and wax? Are any of you using a glaze?

How often do you have to re-do the car to maintain that look?

I use some bs ass meguiars. Shine is decent, but the paint does feel like glass. smoother even!

Never drive it. Keep it in the showroom. It's hard to make our cars shine (silver). It's to light to really reflect anything back, but polishing and waxing does help!

That is true about the silver...If you shine light on it you can sorta see some shine....

There is a reason wax/polish manufacturers do NOT sponsor Silver or White car owners (lighter the color, the less the shine)

i get it detailed every so often... there is this guy that comes to your place (house, work) and does a mini detail on your car once a week for 100 bucks a month... its a great deal because he jsut detailed my car yesterday and it looks sooo wet... its awesome!
