White Cars

What do you guys like to use to get the best depth and shine on a white car ? Like to get white to look like it's almost black in certain light. Was about to order wax when I realized that I just didn't know. Ones considered: Souveran paste, Max Wax, Natty's (not blue). Hope that there might be one out there that is awesome on white.

Max Wax and Meguiars #26 has done well for me on white. The key to white (and any color) is well prepping the surface. XMT's Glaze and Meguiars #7 have helped out alot after polishing well.

Gotta clean it and prep white for outstanding shine.

Wow. That's the shimmer I'm after. Thank you, Justin. Adding XMT Glaze, and Liquid Souveran to my order. Had The DP Swirl removers and polishes (on sale) on the list after your earlier posts, but now thinking maybe the XMT's.

I typically go with a reflective and glossy sealant. This gives the white reflections and a wet look. My favorite choice on whites is DG #105 with Aquawax.

The XMT's and DP's are very close in cut to me. The XMT's will be better in the sun and the DP's are little cheaper in price. On sale I believe.

I recently tried Liquid Souveran on white over Wolfgang DGPS. I think is did a great job with lots of reflections. It picks up a lot of the surrounding colors. In some pictures I took the car does not even look white. Attached is one picture there are more in my AG Gallary.

I really believe Liquid Souveran is really overlooked due it's pasty brother. It's very easy to use, a little goes a long way, and alot cheaper than comparable products.
