get the best shine out of white

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.

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 ?



Meguiars ColorX is more comparable to Mequiar's #66. #80 does not offer much protection. ColorX and #66 do.



ColorX is a "lazy guy" product that gives very good resluts.

Color X and IW 845 looks great on white.



I used Menzerna IP, AIO and Zaino ZFX/Z5 x3 on my white "beater" last year and it looked awesome!



Zaino Z2 and Z5 look great on white IMO. I haven't used Z2 Pro on a white car yet though.
