White Wax

Re: White Wax

Looks nice. Having a white car I am very interested. My question is, seeing as the durability will probably be ok at best, is it possible to "top" this product with something like UPW or any other non-cleaner wax?

Re: White Wax

So if you're thinking that this is basically a cleaner wax, you're right - but because of the SMAT abrasives in it, it's a very potent cleaner wax, much more so than even ColorX or M66. While this may be marketed to the "average consumer" looking for a good wax for a light colored car, for savvy forum members it's going to be a killer one step when used with a buffer.

I REALLY like the sounds of this!

Re: White Wax

Looks like Megs has another answer to the DG 501 craze!

Bingo! Thinking the exact same thing. I just purchased a bottle of DG501 to use this coming spring. I need to purchase the White Wax as well.

This product looks promising.

Except Duragloss looks to be a LOT cheaper per ounce. Hmmm...

Re: White Wax

Still hoping for for an Ultimate AIO some day soon.

Re: White Wax

Any additional thoughts on topping? Collinite 845? Though I would be most interested in how ULW/UPW would work over this.

Re: White Wax

It sounds like the consumer version of D151, just pricier.

Re: White Wax

Since lighter colors, from light blue to silver, gold, yellow, pale greens, etc really benefit from a deep cleaning to really enhance the brightness of the colors, White Wax is formulated with SMAT abrasives to do just that. So if you're thinking that this is basically a cleaner wax, you're right - but because of the SMAT abrasives in it, it's a very potent cleaner wax, much more so than even ColorX or M66. While this may be marketed to the "average consumer" looking for a good wax for a light colored car, for savvy forum members it's going to be a killer one step when used with a buffer.

Is it a good idea to top it up with a sealant? Or do you expect any bonding issues?

Secondly, can you please shed some light on it application procedure? I mean Is it supposed to be worked into the paint with some passion behind the pad or simple application like a finishing wax?

And Finally, In case if i apply it with DA, what Pad would you recommend?

As with any other wax there is no real need to top it with another wax or sealant, but if that's what you like, go for it.

Yeah, bit of a tube theme this year....

I assume it spreads pretty thin like the Ult. Wax?

On and off like butter, yes. Super easy to work with.

As per usual, all of our products are cross compatible, so if you really want to top this with our Ultimate Wax, go for it. If, on the other hand, you're using another brand of synthetic sealant and they insist that the surface be totally devoid of any other product before application, then we suggest you follow that manufacturers recommendations.

There is a certain similarity in that both are technically cleaner waxes, but the user experience is very different with White Wax and D151 - the White Wax is a much smoother, butter like application, wipes off easier and offers a bit more protection.

As mentioned above, if you have a favorite sealant you like to use, by all means do so. If you feel there would be any bonding issues with a sealant you use (although, honestly, we have yet to actually see any one show a reduced bond when applying a sealant over a wax) because of a manufacturer's recommendation, then follow their directions for prep and use. No issue with any of our sealants, though.

Secondly, can you please shed some light on it application procedure? I mean Is it supposed to be worked into the paint with some passion behind the pad or simple application like a finishing wax?

And Finally, In case if i apply it with DA, what Pad would you recommend?

As with any cleaner wax, you need some passion to maximize its potential. This wax uses SMAT abrasives so it should prove highly effective at cleaning and light defect removal, which is almost always easiest to accomplish with a buffer. If you do apply this with a DA you could use either a light polishing pad (more noticeable defects) or a finishing pad (very light defects) at speed settings between 3 and 5, depending on what you're trying to accomplish the hardness of the paint, etc.

Re: White Wax

We posted this in the Black Wax thread but want to include it here as well for those who are following the White Wax thread more closely. To put White Wax and Black Wax in perspective with our A12 Cleaner Wax, this graphic should help:



You can see that both of these new waxes offer a lot more protection than Cleaner Wax does, but White gives a whole lot more cleaning ability while Black gives a lot more polishing ability.
