Can anyone tell me what they have found as the best wax or sealant or best combination of products for the Liquid Silver metallic CX 5. I used Meguiars and Klasse products in the past on our red cars and they looked great but neither of them seem to make the silver pop the way I would like.
Best wax/sealant for Siver CX 5

I wash and dry my CX5 and I use micro Fiber towels with orignal spray detailer. It is quick and makes my Red CX-5 look great. It also works great on chrome and the black bumpers. Use link to see it.

I've used Klasse AIO and Sealant Glaze for 7+ years, both the cars look good and the paint is in great shape. I've clayed both cars as well.
The luster you lust after may be something that is in the eye of the beholder, my LSM Sport model has more of a gorgeous silvery look than my older silver hatch sitting next to it regardless of the clay work and wax applied to the hatch, wax and surface prep can only do so much if the paint underneath lacks whatever you're seeking.
All else fails you could have a proper polishing job done (random orbital buffer with a high quality compound/wax) to a small area to see if that would make any difference, but that's a lot of work for that...

When I first bought my last car, about 6 years ago, I really got into the detailing game. Tried about every wax/sealant out there, including Klasse (excellent stuff), as well as dozens of different cleaning products. Even bought a random orbital buffer, for applying the stuff. If you've got the time and energy, it can be very rewarding.
Now I'm older and lazy and hire it done. (yippy)

Where's a good site or place to buy these?
Found them on Amazon.
$38 for 16oz Jetseal 109.
Dodo Juice wax is +$30 also.
I usually buy from Detailed Image.
Last time I got lucky and caught a buy one get one deal on Autogeek.net
The stuff isn't cheap, but if you apply it thinly like they recommend it will all last a long time.

Have used these products since day one. Great shine, easy to use and lasting protection. Nitro seal is awesome and easy to apply....

This is subjective. It's like asking "what is the best lotion?"... There is simply no "best". www.autopia.org and read up.
For the past 6 years the only after wash (hand wash only) product that was used on my Space Gray BMW E92 was Eagle1 wax-as-u- dry. Not a swirl in the paint and rain always beaded up nicely. I spend enough time getting the car clean (BTW, silver/gray is a great color that does not show dirt) that I'm not interested in additional time to apply and buff.
