I know white doesn't get much airtime here, but I was wondering what you all would suggest for a non-metallic white. I'm looking for a wet glow. My previous cars were either Nighthawk Black Pearl or Adriatic Blue Pearl Metallic, so white is a whole new beast to me.



Below are examples of non-metallic whites:

'96 Integra Type-R Championship White

'04 Evo VIII Weightless White

'04 STi Aspen White



Thanks - Jason

I have never owned anything but white cars. the best now that i have found for a POP with white..... nxt 2x, topped with IW845. the bomb on white, IMO.

I don't know much about Tropi-Care, but I've heard good things about Adam's Butter Wax. I didn't capitalize on Paste Glaz before it went under...I kind of wish I did as it seems to be one of the better all time waxes. Maybe I'll check out Adam's.
 
I own a Olympic white Escalade. This is non-metallic. I prep with Menzerna IP followed by Zaino PC Fusion. I clay once to twice a year to remove all deepen and hue changing embedded particulates. Shampooing is very important also to clean the paint of oils and grease.



My LSP of choice is Zaino Z2-PRO and maintained with Z8. Wetness, deep, glossy, reflective pastel white that blinds in bright sunlight and the just plain glows at night. :woot:



White can be quite stunning when Prepped and protected properly. :D



Just finish my black Z28 convertible with Optimum polish used in place of the Menzerna IP.

Can't wait to do this to the Escalade. :dance
 
3 of my 5 are white and I love it!! The secret to POP is the prep and details. Do the usual wash/clay and then AIO or Poorboys Pro Polish topped with Klasse SG or Upp (UPP is a bit less durable buy also a bit easier to apply and remove). My personal favorite combo is the KSG as a LSP.



Be sure you get the detail trim as clean and black as possible - moldings, bumpers, tires, window seals, etc. - if the details are rich and dark, the white POPs even more.
 
I've had P21S, Blackfire, and CMW(currently) on my car, prepped with SSR2.5 and 1. They've all looked good, but surprisingly, CMW gave the most "pop" of the 3. However, I've yet to achieve the wet glow. I do have Z2Pro, Z8, and Optimum Polish in my arsenal that I have yet to try on white. Maybe that will be my next test case.
 
klasse AIO with a layer of BLITZ wax on top. over the BLITZ i top it with 845 IW. foolproof!!! cant go wrong with this simple combo.
