| | | Help with white cars
I recently purchased a white honda. I have only worked on dark colored cars, does anyone know where I can find some hints or tips for polishing white cars? What products work best on the white cars? |

| | That seems like all I've been working on lately. The one that always amazes me is DG #105. Anyway, below are alot of great ideas from others too. Hope they chime in with their latest secrets on white. White Cars |

| | Ah thanks, How do you keep track of where you have polished since most polishes are white? I have the DG 101 and 105 I was gonna top that with IW 845 then AW. I ma trying to figure out if the Menernza IP is gonna be too much for the soft Honda clear. I have read that white cars are tougher to correct because thet are white?
here is my thread... Honda Soft Clear Coat |

| | Having the right lighting makes a big difference when polishing and waxing a white car. A lot of times you need to have the lighting at the right angles and look at the car a certain angles to see what you are doing and what needs to be done. White paint is always harder to see what you are doing on. I love Liquid Souveran (orginal not the new spray) on white.  |

| | | I've used DG 105 and Pinnacle Liquid Souveran and white with good results. I've read that Finish Kare Pink Wax is great on white as well. I prefer the liquid glossy look on white. |

| | | I used 360 on a white expedition and it did good... you best bet is to take it slow and run your buffer likd your cutting grass, in lines. then when ur done buff off the same way. take it out in the sun and mark with tape where you missed and pull it back in

| | | Do expect much reflection in direct sunlight, white washes out with plenty of light (reflects all colors). Dusk and dawn is where white shows itself mid day it's just an intesnse/blinding white (depending on white).
