The car is a Silverstone Grey Gti. It is a 2005 with only 6000 miles. I wash and p21s it weekly, using the SG once a month, topped with p21s. For the amount I drive the car, I know weekly is overkill but I enjoy it.

Durability is not a concern of mine, the car sits in the garage 5 days a week, and rewaxed on the weekend. I am just looking for something that will make the paint pop even more.

I know Grey/Silver cars are hard to show a shine and reflection like a Black car.

Zaino? FMJ? Any Prima products?

Just looking to try out anything that will make it look even better than it does

I would say, Zaino, and FMJ do a fantastic job with silver metalics. Top it off with adams BSG and you willl see the flake pop a block away. besure to give fmj/zaino ample cure time before hitting it with a liquid wax/glaze.

Will I be topping the Klasse SG with FMJ or Zaino? Or just using one or the other?

I would go AIO, wait 24 hours, Sg, wait a week Sg, then p21s.

If Menzerna I would build it from the ground up.

IP Green endge pad,
Fp2 Blue pad
FMJ white pad wait 24 hours 2nd coat of FMJ
Wait a week add P21s

I'll let one of the zaino guys comment on it.

I currently have 2 coats of FMJ on my audi. and love it. It does do a good job for silver. I have not had a chance to put a topper on the fmj, but Kimchee has probably done that a gaaaaaazilion times.

Also, I dont need the Intensive or Final Polish though. The paint is in perfect condition, no swirls or any other contaminents.

I really want to try the FMJ though, I guess I will have to get some and throw a few coats on.

Any other suggestions?

once the fmj has cured, it is safe to put on a coat of wax, but, perhaps a spray sealant would be the better bet.

That however does not equal the finnish you get from menzerna when the whole process is done. If you remove a step from the process your results will suffer. FMJ will make it look great by it's self. But the Menzerna line will put it into that top 1% of cars in your area.


As for putting wax, one. Many paste waxes are safe to apply right after a sealant. Most liquids are not. It depends on the amount of PD's they have. and how long it takes for the sealants to cure.

Thanks for the info! I will give the the line a shot

Hydro tends to optically thicken the paint. You should get a bit more depth from your flake.
