So my wife is getting an 2010 Audi Q7 in Ice Silver. I'm in the process of getting Z2 Pro/Z8 as my LSP.

Is there any sealant, wax, or a combo of both that will actually give the Ice Silver paint maybe a darker hue or darker tint? I know it won't be a significant difference, but maybe something made specifically for darker cars? (of I'd like to take into consideration a quality and durable product)

I've seen some ice silver cars that had a grayish hue/tint to it and it looked really nice. Thanks for any info.
 
FUZION, its great on darker cars and to be honest looks great on my Vanilla Color. I think you can still get the 3oz for under $50.00 to try it first but I am betting you'll love it
 
I've heard good things about Fuzion...but don't think I can shell out $50 for 3oz at the moment. but I'll keep it in mind :xyxthumbs:
 
Most sealants leave a very bright finish so using a sealant will likely have the opposite affect that you're looking for.

Depending on what you really mean and depending on whether or not you consider Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax a sealant or a wax, I felt NXT darkened the red of my wife's car.
It seems logical that if it darkened red, it should darken silver.
 
Not trying to be belligerent, but why didn't you get a light gray in the first place, being a brand new car.
 
I was gonna say NXT 2.0 as well. A little darkening but def. less of the plasticky look of a lot of sealants.
 
FYI, here's NXT 2.0 on my parents' 2000 Honda Accord:

Not a sealant, but I like Jungle Juice Purple Haze on my wife's silver E-Class.
 
Just a comment based on my personal experience.
Chances are that the only person that will notice a difference is you.
That's not to say you are wrong. Just to make a comment.
It's your car and how it looks should be your choice.

I quit using NXT because of the darkening effect it had on my wife's red Grand Prix.
I didn't happen to like the darker look.
I doubt that anyone that saw the car ever noticed it but me.
 
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant has a darkening effect in my experience and looks great. If you are not completely committed to using a sealant, I have used Poorboy's Black Hole glaze on silver followed by a nice wax and that gives the silver a slightly darker shade while improving gloss.

No cause he got a silver color paint and that is lighter than like my Diamond Graphite which is between a dark silver and light gray. It seems he wants to darken the silver thus the question.

Well it was a 2010 Audi Q7 TDI coming directly from the factory and assigned to the dealership. They had either White or the Ice Silver. The Ice Silver had more options. TDI's are very very hard to come by, and you cannot even order them from the factory or do the European deliver program.

Thanks for all the replies.
