The question
New dark silver paint, what should I use?
After the decontamination I've previously used carlack 68 nano sealer and topped it with
finishkare p1000 wax but I feel I need to take it to the next level, I'm certainly looking at Gtechniq C5 for the wheels, front bumper and splitter but it's certainly not cheap and funds are shall we say "stretched" so I can't spend hundreds on new products yet.
The wheels are a matt finish so also though
this nanolex ultra matte surface sealant may be better?
Suggestions welcomed please?

A Lot's happened since I've last been around (including a slight mid life crisis 4th item down),
The
insignia has gone to a new home
The GT-Four has been used as a daily drive for the past 4 months (Which is tough I know

)
The das pro hasn't needed to come out but is due a work out on the better halves R171 slk after I get the colour code paint mix

to touch up the stone chips

.
And finally my ("£@{k" it, what's the point of going to work) mid life mental moment which happened 11 weeks back when I decided to order a new A45 in mountain grey with aero pack + several other trick bits which I pick up next weekend. Oh, and I'm not selling the Four
Over the past 4 weeks I've been having a mass clear out of the garage (6 years of "it can go in the garage") has finally allowed me to epoxy resin the floor but I still need to sort out some good lighting so I can then spend our miserable winter evening after work detailing a panel or two.
I know this is always a regular question but I have to ask, What's the best protection without PTFE wrapping it as that's way too much money atm?
Cheers for any advice and I'll be ordering the goodies, most hopefully from cyc on Tuesday.
