View Full Version : BL/V7 worth it on White?

Title says it all....is this combo any better than the rest on white? Using 845 on the car now, thinking about a glaze under it in the spring, but really wanting to try BL/V7.

However, it isn't cheap and I would rather not splurge if it's truly not going to do much on white. Believe me, I know white is hard to pop, but 845 does a darn good job!

Thanks for the input. Just looking for lower budget options, as the car is a DD. Want a good combo of looks and "liquid armor." :)

If you are happy with 845, then I say stick with that.

I feel a DD, especially a white DD, does not "need" looks or fancy waxes. Just something that will give good protection from mother nature should be fine.

Unfortunately my DD is black so I'm kind of screwed...

V7 is by far my favorite spray sealant, I use it weekly, and I've used the BL/V7 combo on both my metallic silver Honda and Satin White Pearl WRX with stunning results.

Having said that on white I don't think it stands out any more than EX-P and Natty's red (assuming both surfaces are prepped and polished).

Personally I feel like 845 mutes the shine a little, at least on metallic flake.

I think you will see a difference but I don't think you are going to get a proportional increase in the amount of shine for the additional cost.

just my .02

I use BL/V7 (sometimes I use 5050 as well) on my white car and I'm happy with it.

I thought V7 is a QD?

I have detailed 2 white cars recently and did a combo of BL/845/V7 and was happy with the results of both cars.

Not sure if the above combo is 'acceptable' in terms of product interaction with each other and one possibly stripping another?

That combo is consistently good on all colors. Consistency is the key here.
