Can anyone post their experience (ideally pictures) with using Pinnacle SSII on a silver metallic . I am a little undecided between SSII and Liquid Souveran. I know I know, I can't go wrong with any of them (over 4*UPP) but few personal experiences of users will help. I am after best looks (shimmering/glossy/metallic pop/wet) but I also want the looks to be durable and not just go away instantly in a few days time (car isn't a daily driver & is garaged but does get dusty and I already have Pinnacle WW + spray wax for post wash booster). So, SSII or Liquid souveran on a silver metallic?
 
I am not a pro but I would recommend poor boys pro polish on a black pad use it as a paint cleaner. You will be surprised how much brighter the paint will look. Than I would use liquid souveran to keep that brightness
Just my 2c
 
I haven't used either on silver metallic, I typically use Pinnacle on non metallic. I just redid my truck (2011 duramax bright silver metallic) with BF wet ice over fire. Love the way it looks on metallic in general and the truck came out great. I didn't take any pics and it is sitting outside getting snowed on right now. We're supposed to get some nice weather early next week, I'll try to get a couple pics for you.
 
SSII would be my definite choice. It's a really nice wax that will add that last bit of flare you are looking for. Liquid Souveran isn't a personal favorite.
 
Okay, the weather isn't too bad today so I took a couple pics that I promised. This is my daily driver with Blackfire wet ice over fire. I completed this about 2 weeks ago and it's been sitting outside since. Been through 2 different snow/ice storms without being washed so it's a little dirty, but I think you can see what this will do for silver metallic. Also, keep in mind this is my DD so I have not done a complete paint correction on it. This is AIO on a truck with 40k miles, pulled an RV from one end of the country to the other, and taken several hunting/fishing trips back into areas no meant for man.
 
I use SSII on my wife's silver metallic Toyota Highlander. I think it looks great. That color is also great for hiding dirt and with the SSII it seems to shine through it being dirty. Keeps me from having to wash it so often.

Thanks for posting pictures. It looks great. In my experience, I have used BFWD on silver alone and I noticed it slightly darkened the look (and slightly muted metallic silver pop). The look on the car was definitely dripping wet and glowing. Did you notice anything as such?

Based on some reviews, people generally recommend BF for mid/dark tones (ofcourse if you are picky to the minute extent).

I didn't notice a darkening effect, in fact, just the opposite. I was really surprised at how bright the silver looked under the light in the garage and when the sun hits it. I first used the BF on red jewel tint Malibu (wife's daily driver) and loved the look on the dark color. Decided to try it on silver (I used to use Hi-Temp Terminator on it). My opinion, it really brought it to life. With that said, I have also been considering SSII. Maybe next time I'll try one of each on the doors so I can get a good side-by-side comparison.
 
both are great combo's with silver, as is Blackfire sealant ....
 
I don't have pics but I've used SSII on a silver Pontiac, which I used to own, and it realy made the paint look sharp. It works so well that after I waxed it I was able to sale it within less than a week.

Maybe I should put it on my house, been trying to sell it for 4 months! Do you think it'll work well on brown stucco?

What do you think about Souveran Paste on silver?

Although a bit difficult to make out from the picture, but it does look great. I have picked these two as well after a lot of research and reviews. Just one of these weekends, I'll put it up and then share outcomes.
 
Morning:

I have used SSll exclusively on my silver metallic TCH and as others have said, it has made my Camry's finish seem even brighter. Under the sun the metallic flakes really pop and in the shade the shine is even more than I ever expected from a silver finish. I am quite pleased with the results I obtain using this product, so much so, that when it went on sale I bought a second tub with my first one only half empty. Maybe it's the gold pouch it comes in.

Last month, for the winter, I first laid a couple of coats of Opti-seal and then SSII on top of that. My vehicles are outside 24/7. It's been at least six weeks of NYC weather and pollutants with a couple of snow falls included. The beading, shine and sheeting action seem as prolific as the first.

I use SSll on my maroon accord as well. The shine and reflections are even more pronounced because of the contrasts of a darker color. The car never looked so good. Almost mirror-like.

You tell somebody, not into detailing, that you just spent ~$50 on a 8oz tub of car wax and they'd think your foolish. But we know better.

Excellent product, a pleasure to use and worth every penny.

Be well.....elliot

How you described it is exactly what I am after... SSII looks quite an allrounder.
