No one can honestly keep up with the amount of products Chemical guys comes out with and the backlash of them flooding the market with the same product (Just a different label) is already catching on. Especially the price point! Its insane.

Swiss Vax,

Swissvax Glacier Wax - Premium wax for white automobiles SE1015130

Best stuff around, its pricey, But lasts forever!

I don't even have to use soap when washing it, everything beads off instantly.

I would vote for a darker color of wax, so you can easily see it on the white paint.

thank you guys

Can anybody recommend a dark polish and a dark wax? Everything I use is white or clear and I need something for my white SRT. It's my first white vehicle.

Please do not fall into the hype of colored wax. Your clear coat does not care what color your car is and you are applying wax to the clear coat.

Colored wax is nothing more then a selling point!

You can try Opti-Coat and you don't need to wax for 2 years.

No, I'm not falling for colored wax thinking it will work better. I just want something I can see when applying and to make sure I am removing it all. I just want to know of a high quality wax and a light polish that comes in a darker shade. If the products I currently use came in a darker shade, that'd be perfect, but they don't. Simply for visual ease while applying and removing. I understand the clear coat not caring thing. I've watched all the Junkman videos.

Menzerna Powerlock topped with Lusso Oro wax is what I am currently using on my silver Z. It looks phenomenal

:eek: 200.00 a bottle (I know you get what you pay for) but what would be a second choice?

I feel you man,

I've bought lots of different waxes , ranging from 60-100$ a bottle.

Spend the $200 once, and you wont ever look back dude. trust me.

They're leather cleaner kit is the bomb too, nothing even comes close the

finish it produces.

Coloured wax is only there to show left over residue, If you use a good wax/polish remover. like proeraser etc.. You spray it on the surface, the left over residue will show up.

Product you are going to use are good enough. Just a suggestion. Wash- make use the 2 bucket method. Layering method wait for at least 12hrs before applying the wax.

Has anyone used the Chemical Guys "white" wax ? That was one product I was considering but does it live up to the hype from the Chemical Guys video.?

No $70 for wax is beyond insane!

Just because a product is expensive does not mean its amazing!
