Default Chrome Silver cleaning

What is the best way to clean a Chrome Silver Z? Any products that are better than others? I have always had black cars and now that I have a silver car I want the same shine.

You are not going to get the same deep shine out of a silver car that you used to get out a black one. Its just not going to happen. You're best bet is to get some quality polish and sealant and layer on the polish.

I am sure that cleaning silver is as difficult as cleaning white. You need a one-step wax with superior cleaning ability. Check Consumer Reports recommendations posted here.

+1.... I have the Chrome Silver also. All you have to worry about are tar spots by the lower fender. Tar comes off wipe alittle elbow grease and some wax...
