Good Polish for a white Truck
Good Afternoon everyone,
What are you guys using for white vehicles as a polish? it's not a normal white, it's a diamond white with some blue and gold flakes. Pearlish finish. I've had nothing but dark vehicles so i've used CG black Light and topped it with wolfgang 3.0 sealant or blackfire gloss sealant. I figured wolfgang 3.0 will still be my go to sealant even for the white. What about a good polish? something to make the flakes really pop in the sun?
Looking forward to your feedback. Search function didn't help

Any good polish will help, get something like menzerna ...

Re: Good Polish for a white Truck
It depends on the condition and hardness of the paint. For severely neglected, you'll want something with more cut, but you'll need to follow it up with a milder compound and\or polish. Much of the gloss comes from removing defects, not just adding a good wax, sealant, or coating.
Example:
Late-model Dodge Ram, Bright White Clear Coat. VERY hard paint with severe defects ("professional" detailer with a dirty wool pad on a rotary, or weekly drive-through car washes).
- Iron-X
- Clay Bar
- Menzerna FG400 with a Lake Country Yellow or Orange Cutting Pad
- Menzerna PF2500 with a Lake Country Black Finishing Pad
- Menzerna SF4500 with a Lake Country Black Finishing Pad
- Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze with a Lake Country White Polishing Pad
- Meguiar's White Wax G61 with a Lake Country White Polishing Pad or Blue Fine Polishing Pad
If you wanted to skip a step, you could change out the PF2500 and SF4500 for something like the FF3000. The Glaze is also optional.

In that case, just the glaze and a good wax.

I would stick with the BlackLight and wolfgang 3.0.

Re: Good Polish for a white Truck
I have a white avalanche, no flake at all, just white. I use menzerna 99% of the time on all the vehicles I do. SIP and powerfinish "Should" cover you. If you want to try and bring out even more flake, I have been playing around with Reflect. It is the real deal. Easy to work with and doesn't take forever to breakdown. I've come to the conclusion that you can make white look really really good, but in the end it isn't black so it's not going to have that "Wow" look to it.

Wolfgang DGPS 3.0 top it with WG Fuzion. I did this sweet LS460 Monday with that combo. Used WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer first to give it a good cleaning. It was dripping wet with that triple combo, owner was over joyed.
