How does your white "shine"

[bobble]

Hey a Newfie huh. My GF is from Manitoba and our really close friends are from Nova Scotia. We do junior hockey with her nephews so I here you on the cold, nothing Quebec City in February brrrr.

Anyhow I like Duragloss 601/105 toped with Collinite 845 for white or light colors in general myself and the good sode affect is it's quite possibly the least expensive combination there is. Solid winter performance from that combo.

I've had both colored cars, I'll take white anyday mainly because it looks clean longer given the same conditions for both colors. That said, both Hydro Sealant and Blackfire Wet Diamond AFPP look good on black & white.

Thats why I was curious about a good sealant for a white car.

White done right can look incredible. I own both white amd black vehicles, the white one with 845 rarely appears dirty, even after driving in the rain. While the black can look incredible after polishing to perfection the better it looks the more everything shows. That layer of dust on it the morning after a detail doesn't make me very happy.

845 is a good choice for your climate. You can reapply it sometime during your 3 weeks of summer.

845 or Blackfire Wet Diamond

Unless we are talking a pearl white I would have to go with black, especially if it has metal flake in it. IMO white doesn't really hide anything better than black and when white stains then it is obvious it has been neglected and then it is as much work as black to get it back to a show shine. Black gives instant results, where as white isn't as easy to see the level of your results until in ideal lighting. I would say the best in between would be silver metallic or a pewter metallic(gold-ish with silver metallic flake). Really hides defects and still looks good in direct sunlight.

really depends on the car/truck... I am a little biased, as I have a white car... Candy White... I have used many waxes and sealants... Wolfgang's my favorite sealant for a bright white, while Liquid Souveran tends to adjust to the light conditions, it will glow at dusk... either color, demands you keep it clean... black will give you depth, while a white will glow... both colors can be magical...

Yea your kinda right... definitely a hard decision. Black certainly looks nice when looked after, but white would still be nice. Any good sealants specifically for white?

Fuzion over UPGP - a killer combo on white!

Working right now on polishing it with Menzerna Nano Polish on a Lake Country Hydro-Tech Polishing pad with the Flex 3401 to remove light scratches that were throughout the paint. After that I will probably put Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant on it, then either add another coat of BFWD or top with a nuba. Good stuff.

Thank you for all the info! I'm glad I found this site.

It is very difficult to show how shiny in pics. My white Mustang looks like it is candy coated in person. This is probably the best shot I have of it to show gloss.
