Silver Paint question

Just got a new car, and its silver. Ive only owned black and red cars before, which were real easy to get a deep wet shine out of. What can I do on a silver car to give the shine some depth and is there anything you can do to it to make it "pop" like a red car, or reflect like a black car?

It will never have the depth of black paint, but you can still give it a nice wet looking shine. Just give it a good polish and use some rich carnauba paste, like P21S or Pinnacle Souveran.

How's this? Note, it's just claybar and wax. No pre-wax cleaner or sealant/glaze.
