| Making White cars look wet????
Need some advice, the wife decided it was time to get rid of her 300c and wanted a toy so she bought a white 2006 Crossfire Roadster. I like white because it is classy looking on the right car but I've never been able to get the "wet look" on a white finish like you can get on a dark color. I'm sure I'll get many different answers as to what is best but the products I have now are Pinnacle XMT 1, 2 & 3 as well as liquid souveran & souveran paste. I also have some Zaino stuff but it's been just sitting there for a couple of years....does the stuff go bad from sitting?
Also the convertible top is fabric, what is the best way to clean it and keep it looking good?

Liquid Souveran is one of the best for making white look wet as is Max Wax. I've now found that 360 can do it one step as well.
#26 is also nice on white.

wetness is a common description for waxes not sealants. That said white is a hard bugger to look wet. I personally would use the Megs new car glaze, and some liquid souveran.
Souveran paste aint bad on white, because it does have some reflection, if going that route I would gem the surface up to top notch using some Menzerna Final Polish then the Souveran. Add in Red Moose Glaze from Clearkote if more wetness is desired.

Killr, RMG works well on white? For some reason I was thinking it was only for dark cars.

I like DG105 for a sealant.
I washed my white Mustang yesterday with DG901, and after doing this, I added some AW to the hood and front fenders. Came out 30 min. later and it was about an hour before sunset. Holy crap, my white was blingin! Hahaha. I almost took pics but it was getting dark.
Anyways, here is my pic of DG105 I post a lot:  | |

Liquid Souveran, most sealants.
Duragloss#101 then top with #105 on this. 
DG#101 top with #111
