Recommendation/Help on cleaning a white car...

Cell · 11-04-2010, 11:44 AM

While cleaning my car a couple days ago, I found out that anything you apply to white paint cannot be seen.

I need help selecting a new wax/polish that would make my life easier in seeing wax/polish on the white paint. So... any suggestions?

we had one of these in my car detail class ----we put them under fluorescent lights-which shows everything. we buffed it out-glazed it and waxed it. I like to use Adam's products which are guaranteed 110%-check it out on their website.

adam's polishes
the guys over there-esp. Junkman-knows a lot more than anyone I have ever met....on the subject of detailing and paint correction.

I use Zymol Cleaner wax and then use Meguiars Sealer 2.0 and that combo works great then just to keep up on the protection of the paint I use Meguiars Ultimate Detailer.

I like to use sealants vs wax on white cars. On my white Nissan (non pearl.) I use wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant with good results, and also XMT 360 all in one for a light polish and sealed finish. Generally speaking it is harder to get a white car to have a deep gloss etc. compared to darker colors like black. But a better finish is totally possible. Here is a picture from this weekend after detailing the wife's Pathfinder and topping with the Wolfgang DGPS.
