The Klasse twins are a very good choice and should leave a nice, glossy shine on your car plus be plenty durable so you don't have to rewax every couple weeks. If you already have the products and like them, I say stick with them.
The difficulty with silver is its a color the refracts light more than reflects it. So there is not much depth with metallics of that shade. Products like Klasse and Zaino have the reputations of providing a lot of reflectivity which helps improve the looks of silver. I think they're the two best choices for that color.
People use wax on top of SG to change the looks a little. Carnaubas have a lot of oils in them and the wax provides more of a "glow" than a "gloss", which many people like. Personally I think the solvents in the wax will degrade the SG layer(s) a bit, sort of defeating the purpose of SG. If you are up to an experiment, pick a section of your car to do a AIO/wax combo next to a AIO/SG combo and see which one you like better and which combos lasts longer. Might be interesting....
If you want to try a good carnauba, look for S100 (twin to P21S) at your local Harley-Davidson dealer. Cost is about $15.00. Other choices are Mothers Calif Gold paste carnauba and Meguiar's #26 in paste. I think pastes look better than liquid waxes, but that's just me.
Let us know how it goes and post a couple pics when you're done.
Hope all this helps. Best of luck.
