As some of you now know from my other thread in the "off-topic" section, I picked up a new 370Z dressed in Pearl White. All the other cars I have owned have been black (did own a red one once). So I am used to using 4Star/WGDGPS as the sealant base, topped with either Souveran or Fuzion to stunning results.

So I would like to know what you all recommend for my new white paint, after I jewel it with PO85RD? It has metallic flakes in it, so I would like to showcase that as well, making it "pop" as much as possible, then give as much depth/wetness/clarity to the white paint itself. Is this all even possible? Or does such a combo not exist??? :( I know that showing white paint off is not as dramatic as say, black, but I hope to prove that theory wrong and make my white paint really stick out to people's eyes as much as black, esp in the sun....

Here is a pic of the white paint. What do you all think or recommend?

Look into Pinnacle liquid.
For the most part it's all in the prep. As long as paint is properly prepped and all swirls are removed you should have a stunning look with any wax.

Anything really, except any color charged waxes.

Yeah definitely not any color waxes... do those have dyes in them??? eeek. If that were the case, maybe I need a pure WHITE nuba.... like Supernatural? hehe

I forgot about Pinnacle Liquid Souveran!!! Thank you! I think I still have some in my garage :) And yes, I do know that it's ALL in the prep, don't worry. But for us experienced folks, if 95% of the look is prep, I am looking for that final 5% and maximizing that... hence my question ;)
 
How can you argue with all this great information! :props:
 
If you already have any of the Collinite waxes or Autoglym HD I find that they look great on whites.

Edit: You already have fuzion just use that!
 
I love Collinite 845IW on white. Here are a few pics of a white Mercedes C300 I did using the 845.

That Mercedes looks great!

I never knew Colly waxes are great on whites... I have 845, and also AG HD...hmmmm... keep em coming!
 
Supernatural is an excellent choice!! However, there's definitely a learning curve to this wax, and possible sweating issues. Liquid Souveran is a great choice, just don't put it on to thick, or it's a b***h to remove. My choice................................Sig Series II!!!

P.S. I'm assuming sig series II isn't color charged?

In my experience Collinite 476s, mutes flake a little more than I like, AG HD doesn't mute them as much. I cannot speak for 845IW in this regard. Fuzion shouldn't really mute the flakes at all though and will also give it that deep wet look that you're searching for. It won't be as durable or give you as much protection as the Collinite or AG HD though, most likely.

:dblthumb2: I definitely have to agree here. I have used Diamond White to great effect on my Alpine White BMW. I've also used the Fuzion and Supernatural, and love both of those as well.

845IW is known as a "bright" wax, incredible on lighter colors, IMO. It also seems to shed dirt, after driving in rain my white vehicle doesn't even appear dirty even when it needs a serious wash by my standards.

Primo job on that MB, Barry. :xyxthumbs:
