Well I drive a white truck, and although I`ve only waxed it once it just doesn`t seem to have the same pop as most other colors. Is there anything I can do, or any certain type of wax or cleaner that will really bring out the shine in my white? Sadly I don`t have a polisher so that is out of the question for now, but I plan on using the clay bar on it in a week or so. Thanks for the help.

I just finished waxing my wife`s 2005 white Tacoma 4X4 with Meguiars ColorX. Easy on, easy off and it looks great. I applied it by hand with a foam applicator and removed it with a microfiber polishing cloth. It has about as much "pop" as anything on white.

I`ve had good success with Meguairs #80 followed by VM, UPP and sometimes topped with S100. Gives a nice warm glow.

What would a good polish for white paint be? It would be applied with a PC and then topped with NXT wax.

I tried something new to me this weekend...washed with meg`s gold class, klasse AIO to remove all the old wax, and topped with s100. I thought it looked good, but it can always be better, then my neighbor rang my doorbell this morning to ask what I used to make white look so good :bigups

Klasse AIO or Werkstatt`s Prime topped with Meguiars #16, Natty`s Blue, S100/P212S, Collinite 845, OCW or Meguiars NXT all look excellent on white.



Full sealant route would be Werkstatt, UPP, Zaino, FMJ over AIO or Prime.

Is Meguiars ColorX comparable to Meguiars #80 ?
