First time detailing white vehicle
Hello all,
I am about to make my first non-OTC purchase through the geek.
I recently purchased a 2010 Mustang in Performance White that is my daily driver. I am going to try and keep this car for a while and want to treat it like a baby. I have been gleaning so much information through these forums before I joined that my head is swimming!
I will be detailing my vehicle by hand and will start by prepping the car with either the P21S GEPC or the Pinnacle Cleansing Lotion (opinions on these would also be appreciated).
I would like to know if Collinite #845 will produce nice glossy results to go along with the notorious durability and ease of use it is known for? Are there any other sealants/waxes that would be recommended with the aforementioned attributes for around the same price? I cannot afford any boutique waxes/sealants and am really looking for the best bang for my buck!
Please post your favorite recommendations for white paint that is affordable, durable, glossy, and easy to use for the hand detailer.
I love this forum and am looking forward to what everyone has to say.
Mark

Poorboys EX-P. As easy to take off as it is to put on, comes right off even in bright sun. Easy 2-3 months durability and mad shine on my daily driver.
Lots of choices, but that's my favorite.

Re: First time detailing white vehicle
I just got my wife a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee in white. Just this weekend I was looking at my detailing products on the wall in my garage wondering what wax will I use. I saw a can of Mothers paste wax sitting there, calling out to me saying put me in coach I am ready to play. I took him off the DL and I must say, the shine was sick and it looked like the truck had a thin layer of water on her. After I was done I asked myself why do I buy expensive waxes when this one works and looks great. Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

I love 845 on white. So in my opinion that's a great and affordable option. I like both the P21 and pinnacle cleansing lotions and both work really well.... So you can't go wrong either way there. I would also suggest claying the car prior to using the cleansing lotion!

Meguiars Gold Class and NXT 2.0 both work very good on my white 2005 Dodge Ram. Very glossy and wet looking.
I tried Liquid Souvran on it as well. Personally, I couldn't tell a different between it and the Meg's products. At least not on my white Ram.

Re: First time detailing white vehicle
i own three white vehicles. if your paint is in excellent shape then your cleaners will be fine. it is almost impossibly hard to tell on whites and silvers if this is so. if it needs some help i would get amy fine polish (i like amigo from prima) then do the cleanse and finish with the collinite. it will look amazing and the world will wonder how the heck you got a white car to glow. i have heard great things about prima hydro to keep the luster going. collinite last a long time.

UPGP or Opti-Seal is what you're looking for.

When you do wax your Mustang, the key to seeing if you got all teh wax off the paintwork is to look at it from and angle and look for "dull" spots. They will indicate the areas you missed in the removal process.
The Collinte insulator wax is a good choice. Personnaly, I use Meguiar's #21 Synthetic Sealant topped with S100 on my Mustang.
