Black cars are like mirrors! You will always get a stronger reflection from a darker car though. Must be near impossible on a white car?

Black and dark cars will always "reflect" better than lighter coloured cars that's for sure, however you can still get silver and white to reflect you just don't "immediately" notice it compared to darker colours which obviously stand out better.

I think it also helps with using the right products and having the surface prepared properly beforehand.

One benefit that lighter colours have is that at least you can see where the tar and other contaminants are lol.

Just like to point out that is not my car nor my picture that i posted. Its a friend who is trialing a new dodo juice product. However i can get reflections like that, just didnt have any pictures to hand

Edit:

An early pic of my work (this had no polish, sealant or wax on it at this point. Just been compounded.) For better results come have a look at my car at fcs ;)

Who did say you couldnt get decent reflections on silver anyway??? It can give decent reflections just not to the same extent as a dark colour car. I mean dark colours reflect even if the cars a total shitter with crap paintwork.

Aye, I think so anyway. When I bought the far it had a gay aluminium cap, so I bought one off here, turned out to be quartz instead of arctic steel. Subtle difference in certain light (as you can see) but never bothered me enough to search for a new one.
