What polish & waxes etc are you fellow white owners using to get the best out of the colour?

sealents are usually best for white cars. i use auto finesse tough coat. but heard good things about the werkstatt acrylic kit.
and last summer i had 2 coats of auto finesse ilusion and it looked really good.

polish i use auto finesse tripple.
but i havent used it on my car yet as when i used tough coat i use tough prep 1st.
and when applying a wax i use auto finesse rejevante which is a pre wax cleanser so it cleans the paint and leaves the perfect base for a wax

I've been looking at the autobrite direct range recently. I've only got my orange crush dodo juice from a few cars back which is for warm coloured cars. Got a little sample of a gteqnic liquid sealant from an old waxybox too I've not used

What products i have used from autobrite they have worked but their customer service is disgraceful. They have messed soo many people about over on detailing world and lost an awful lot of customers due to it.

Gteqnic range is very good. Pricy for small quantity but quality products. Only used their gwash shampoo which come in a waxybox but was very impressed with it. Would prefer to pay less money and get more product . I use auto finesse products. But starting to use car chem as they are quality

I've been using snow foam for ages but I did try the britemax shampoo from the waxybox, thought it was ok,not very suddy but did a nice job so I've just bought some of that.
There's so many different options & opinions to go with them it makes it a hard choice choosing something new lol

Best snowfoam i have used to date is car chem. Iv used autobrite magifoam and superfoam and auto finesse avalanche and car chem is much better than both. Also If you want a good shampoo cheap then nothing beats car chem 5 litre shampoo. £26 for 5 litres of shampoo which dilutes to 1900:1. Cleaning power is really good. Before that af lather was my favourite but now its car chem. I agree there is so many options and opinions out there.

Can't remember what my snow foam is, I got 10 litres of it in a group buy along with a foam lance ages ago.
Right so if I wash it, clay it,wash it again then dodo lime prime lite it where would you suggest I go next?

After doing lime prime lite I would then apply a wax. But it Depends what lsp you have got . (Last step product).. if you dont have any car wax and lets say you was going down the sealent route Iike auto finesse tough coat , I would replace lime prime with tough prep.

Ideally I'd like to use the line prime as it's only 2 uses short of a full bottle lol. I'd been eyeing up the dodo supernatural but I'm unsure as what to try again now. Might try go the wax route & use something like the gtechiq liquid sealant after? At least that's only a spray on wipe off job

Ok so, I know have no polish what so ever, sold my half full dodo orange crush to my mate with a Porsche for £10.
If I set a £40 limit on one to buy what would it be? Preferably as easy to apply & remove as the dodo was.

Think your getting mixed up with what products are what.
Orange crush is a wax not a polish.
In fact its a colour charged wax that would best suit orange yellow and red cars. Not something id put on a white car lol. Is it a wax you are after or polish?

I choose to use the word polish rather than wax,not even sure why to be fair lol. Anyway yeah, the Porsche is red so he has it now although it seemed to do a fine job on white & two different gunmetal haha.
I'd rather have something more like a wax than polish. Then maybe a spray sealant. Never been into the whole detailing business really.
Used to be a valeter years back so I'm used to wash & polish , what to put on top of another product & when etc is where after the obvious bits I stop understanding. Only the other day I learnt what LSP stood for for Christ sakes lol

Lol tbh neither do I as polish and wax are two different things. Trouble is There is soooo many different waxs out there to choose from. Swissvax , Auto finesse , dodo juice, bouncers wax, BMD wax. Auto glym hd wax. Just a few of the big names.

I saw some swissvax lastnight that said from £795 [FACE SCREAMING IN FEAR] Wtf!!
I know what I don't want this time though & that's a colour specific wax. Something like the supernatural hybrid that I can use on anything would suit me better.
Have you used the lower price range auto finesse waxes?

Supernatural would be a good choice id say. Only used illusion which is a show wax and i really like that. There is another wax that retails at £7995 but I cant remember what its called.
