I would say no. Unless it's just a bad angle I would say you can get much more gloss than what the pic shows. Here is a car as an example of the shine that can be had on these light colors. it is a little darker than yours but not much.

On that color car, Im much prefer synthetic sealants. FK1000P would look great on it and its $16.

For lighter colors I personally prefer sealants. I find that the best way to make lighter colors look good is to make them as reflective as possible verses a deep wet look. Do you have any sealants on hand?

I have Opt seal and fourstar sealant ( not upp). but I can appy sealant after wax? I throught lsp only increase 5% of the shine, would ultrafina make it bettter?

I use Poorboys EX-P on my our pearl silver Honda Odyssey. I apply it with a PC, let it sit for a good 20-30 minutes (while I clean other stuff), then buff gently.

The shine and reflectivity is incredible.

I just got Klasse sealant glaze and on my black TSX, it's amazing. Will try it on the silver as soon as the weather warms up.
