    Extra gloss for white color.

    Three days ago I detail a White Honda Activa[scooter]. Owner was happy with results but certainly I was not. I was expecting some extra gloss but Iwas failed to get it. I used [1] Mother's clay bar [2] Meguiar's speed glaze 80 [3] Meguiar's NXT wax 2.0. I want to know is there something extra that I can do to get some more shine out of white colour?

    Duragloss products seem to work very well on white.

    Try a second coat of the NXT or a spray wax

    Collinite 845 is another winner on white....

    Re: Extra gloss for white color.

    Instead of the Speed Glaze I would have opted for a paint cleaner.

    White is almost always "stained" to some extent. In actuality it is not the white, but the clear on top of the white, but it is usually dirty.

    I have to recommend Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion. It is a great product. If you are looking for a quick OTC fix, Mother's works well also.

    That's the secret I have found on white though - just get it really clean, add a good wax and you will shine.

    I tend to get the best gloss on white with a sealant, but white can be hard for sure.

    Can you tell me more about fuzion- I just googled it and it came up auto tires- nothing on car polishes/wax.
