Re: Meguiars White wax Questions
I agree. You are way over thinking this. Do you think Meguiar's would sell a product that will remove all the clear on your car to the general public. It does not contain the amount of abrasives that are found in a compound.
If you want to wax every month you could always use a spray wax or in between AIO sessions. Mike P often mentions topping an AIO with a sealant. It won't last as long but that is always an option.
As others have mentioned you can use a dedicated polish 1-2 times a year and then follow up with a sealant that will generally outlast a wax. You can use a spray wax in between if you desire to do that until the next polishing session.
As far as dawn leave it for the dishes. It buys you nothing.

Re: Meguiars White wax Questions
a great combo if you want to stick to OTC products would be white wax topped with ultimate quik wax every other wash or so...

Re: Meguiars White wax Questions
If you want some waxes that are polymer heavy, create a lot of shine which can make white paint look bright, and will last two months or more you can try:
Pinnacle Liquid Wax
Pinnacle Signature Series II
Dodo Juice Diamond White or Fantastic Light
Poorboys Nattys Red
Mckees 37 Trademark Paste
These are all finishing waxes. You can use Meg’s white wax or any dedicated polish every 6-12 months to clean and use these every 2 mo the inbetween.

I think that meguiars products are great i just dont trust my abilities at moment so i was being cautious. But i did kind of thought doing a aio then just doing meguiars ultra spray wax in between . Anyways ill just use aio quarterly then use a dofferent wax as im trying to get the feel of waxing and eventually do ceramic or some sealant

The waxes I listed above should all get you around 2 months by the time you notice a need to re-apply, Pinnacle Liquid Souveran being the most durable of those that gets me about 4 months in moderate environment (spring/summer/fall in Northeast). Any of the above waxes can be re-applied every two months easy, you’ll never get any build up from that type of usage.
Similarly, if you applied a top sealant like WG, BF, Mckees, PBL, Powerlock, etc every 2 months you also shouldn’t have any issues... 2 months isn’t the same as applying weekly which would be complete overkill. I still recommend doing your decon and polish every 6-8 months to refresh the paint and start with a clean slate on your paint... this would be an opportune time to switch up LSPs if you are looking to try new things.
As Jayfro mentioned, Liquid Souveran might be the best value, durable, simple choice.So easy to use.
