    Re: The power of White Wax

    I like that diagram Michael! Thanks for posting that!

    And Holy Cow do I have to say something about White Wax. I am so sorry I don't have any photos to show from today's detail I did. But man I like this stuff alot! Like some of you have said, this Wax is not just for White cars, but any color cars. I think this is a GREAT cleaner wax!

    Today I detailed my Aunts Navy Blue Camry. I was looking for a real good AIO, so I could keep it at a one step process. You guys had recommended White Wax, which surprised me, because I only thought it was for White cars. But you guys said it has really good cleaning properties for an AIO. The car had a lot of light scratches around it, I think because my Aunt takes it to the local car washes, and those damn rollers probably scratch her car all up.

    Anyway, the AIO took pretty much all of them out and left a beautiful bright shine to the car. Then to just top things off a bit, I used Ultimate Quick Wax which really set it off nicely. My Dad was impressed by the reflections on the car. This stuff has a great One/Two punch to it man. Great Cleaning/Great Shine.

    Thankyou guys for recommending this wax to me. I think this is turning out to be a great Daily Drive One Step Wax. But, for making money wise, I am wondering if I need to get the Gallon of D151. I'm not sure how they compare at all in results and also cost-efficiency?

    Have a good week!

      is WW more or less abrasive than SwirlX?

          This is a question for Nick. But I have not used swirlx in so long that I am going to say that white wax will out cut it given that white wax contains the same abrasives as M101. But I could be wrong.

            Would the cut of White Wax be pretty similar to D151? I usually stick with D151 topped with UQW for one-step details but am considering buying a tube of White Wax to have on hand in case I ever have to work in the sun. Usually I just try to do things in whatever order is needed to avoid working in direct sun but it would be good to have something on hand for when I have no choice.

              My understanding is that it has slightly more cut than D151.
              It also has SMAT abrasives, so if you work it a bit longer it will continue to cut, which also makes it more powerful.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                I was actually thinking D151 (PRC) had SMAT. Is that not the case?

                  It does. It's been mentioned on the forum that white wax contains the same SMAT abrasives found in M101. Just less of them.

                    Ok, I forgot that D151 had SMAT too. So they both have it...

                      Others have already discussed the cutting power of White Wax but I'll just add this - get yourself a tube or three now; you won't regret it!!
