Best LSP for white cars?

I have a detail coming up in about 2 weeks. It's a souped up white 350z and the car is going to be on a show the day after the detail. And since we all know that it's fairly difficult to get that "WOW" factor on a white car (compared to dark colored cars) even after a good paint prep, I wanted to know if you fellow detailers have had nice results with certain LSPs on white cars.

Currently, I'm considering CG Creme Glaze or DWG under P21S 100% carnuaba. As the detail is mainly for the show, durability is not much of a concern...the WOW factor is - hence my choice for the glaze and carnuaba combo.

Any comments and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I'll be sure to post up some pics after the detail.

Thanks!

Re: Best LSP for white cars?

I too am experimenting with different LSP for my PPW 350.

Below are some pictures of it with an pplication of Poorboys Ex, then a week later (right before the pics were taken) a coat of Meguiar's #26 (i believe) high-tech yellow wax (carnauba). I think it came out pretty good. Soon I will be trying out hitting my car with PO85 on a black pad followed by Blackfire wet diamond. I'm sure that combination will look awesome.

While I haven't had the opportunity to try it first hand, I've read on the boards here that Megs 16 looks really good on white.

RMG + 4Star UPP was the cat's meow a while back.

Maybe top with PB White Diamond?

I think you have a lot of solid choices with white.

#16 looks pretty good on pretty much every color I've used it on. I'm partial to the candy shell look NXT 2.0 gives to white paint.
