Best wax for Titanium Silver
Anyone here get particularly excellent results with a specific product.
I've used Maguiars NXT as well as Sovereign Pinnacle with success on Space Grey but not sure which route to take on TS. Thanks in advance.

I've used Zaino Bros. show car polish on everything I've owned for the last 12 years. Long lasting durability, amazing shine, and very easy to use.

My fav on light colors (whites, silvers, beiges) is Duragloss 105. The combo with 601/105 is really nice, great durability and inexpensive. Oh and you can source these OTC at Napa and Carquest stores.

I don't have a silver car, but my favorite wax is the ICE synthetic stuff. It's really easy to use, doesn't leave white residue, and you can apply it to any surface (paint, rubber, plastic, glass, etc...)

P21S is great stuff for tiag..had mine done with it a few months before I wrapped my car and I was very impressed with the depth it gives to the paint...however, i think it is considered a show wax so it won't last anywhere near the NXT polymer you have experience with..but it will look a hell of a lot better then the NXT while it's on there..I used to use P21S during the summer months and try to use a polymer based wax (like NXT) for the winter months for extra protection against the elements

NXT does not last very long at all and stains trim, P21S 100% lasts about 6 weeks tops.
To OP since you're in the Northeast you really should consider a good sealant at least for winter. Another favorite, how I forgot who knows old age, Collinite 845, It's a hybrid like NXT, last's crazy long, looks good on light colors and is cheap($15). I top all my cars with it if they are not coated. Read up on it. |

845 would be my call, or blackfire wet diamond for looks and better durability!
p21s 100% is on my shelf for silver cars and greys/blacks. Its real wet and deep, but as mentioned it doesnt hold up very long (most waxes dont anyway), but the looks are definitely there |

I am a fan of autoglym HD wax. Then topping off every now and then with FK 425. Keeps the water beading for a long time and gives the silver a real pop.
