I like Atomic Silver on Base/Luxury models and Liquid Platinum better on F Sports.

If you want to make the paint pop on Atomic silver, its called Titanium silver in Australia paint code 1J7, you need to get yourself 3D Bead it up.
One spray on dry just wash panel and 24 hours later you'll notice the paint glow. I was skeptical at first but my brother in-law who is a professional detailer gave me a used bottle to try out.

I treat it as a detail spray, I don't know how long it last though. Its hard to take photos of silver paint.

It makes the paint super slick to touch and glow especially when the afternoon sun hits the paint.

Bead It Up does have a nice slick feeling, was really easy to apply and had a great scent, but the hydrophobic qualities were mostly gone after the first wash. I used it on the 3 cars in my home and had the same experiences with each. Applied again after washing and had the same result. So now I'm back to my grabby, hard-to-apply Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer.

Also got threw out my 3D Speed All-in-One polish wax. The last time I used it, I found that it left residue on the paint that became visible only after a few days, at which time it was a b*/ch to remove. Also stuck to rubber surfaces, more white residue, which was quite frustrating to have on a dark blue car. After about a year of use, (4-5 applications), out it went and I'm back to my Blackfire One Step!

Hopefully your experience will be better than mine.
