    Good Combo For White

    I always have a hard time with white cars, I never feel like they get the depth that I`m looking for......I brought a white car not long back and started fooling around with different combos....Here is the one that I`ve liked so far.


    The washing part is a given....I clayed the car to remove all old product....SWR was not needed I did that with the SSR 2.5 & 1 with the rotary some weeks back....

    I used Adams straight polish with the PC and a yellow megs polishing pad..


    The Wolfgangs sealant with a PVA pad by hand.

    Nattys a day later by hand.

    For me this gave the car a real gloss and depht of which I`ve not seen on white before.......I can`t wait to try this on a better paint job.....mines a old Sentra that has been repainted.

    I don`t have any pics but will try and get some soon just wanted to share this combo for lighter colored cars with you all.

    Interesting.
    My AIO/UPP seems to work quite well on the white cars in our family.

    As well as the red, silver, dark blue, maroon.... I think you get the idea.

    My go to for white was always PB P-w-C then Nattys.....Because I had the time to wait on the sealant, I decided to try that....I was reading about Wolfgangs last week and knew that I had some left.....I have to say that even with the sealant it had good shine the Nattys added the depth that I wanted....The Adams polish seemed also to have a bit more shine than PB
    P-w-C to me.......Maybe its because I``ve not used it in a long while and have gotten used to PB lineup

    I`ve got a full job with Optimum Polish by Makita & orange tufted light cutting pad, UPC, UPP x4, #16 x2. It`s hard to look at in partial sunlight.

    (It`s actually quite dirty right now because I`ve been at school and away from my car. I`m ashamed but there`s not much I can do.)

    AIO/UPP after polishing would be my choice.

    Re: Good Combo For White

    THE best I have ever saw on white was Optimum compound with a Yellow cutting pad ( edge 2k ) followed by Menaerna Final Polish II and a green pad , followed by vanilla Moose Glaze and a blue pad and went over again with blue pad and a MF bonnet to remove excess oils .
    Finish was deep , glowed like warm and was sealed with AIO ( removed with white polishing pad while still wet panel by panel ) then hand AIO + 3 coats of SG day one ( about 1 hour apart each ) . Then 2 more over the next 2 days 24 hours apart . After about a week , washed with Z7 ; Qd`d with Zaino Z6 after dry and applied a single coat of CMW to see if it added anything .
    Not really , but looked awesome and warm from everything else

    P.S. This is my 1995 GMC 1500 sle truck with dents and bangs , but all paint chips touched up and wetsanded flat and was buffed out with 3m PI-III fine cut and followed with machine glaze

    I had great success with AIO/VM/#16 & AIO/VM/UPP.
