Fellow members and experts,

I'm planning to pick up a good wax this month [during Christmas sale(s)] and I need any suggestions you can help me with. Until now, the only wax I've used on my ride is Collinite 845 Insulator wax.


My car is white and I need a wax that will give a nice and deep, rich gloss. I know it's hard to get a white car to shine like a mirror or look wet like a black or darker colors, but I want to buy one that makes a white car look the best.

Options I know so far:

Wolfgang Fuzion
Dodo Juice Diamond White
Dodo Juice Light Fantastic
Dodo Juice Supernatural Wax


Could you please provide your experience or opinions on which amongst these [or any other one I do not know about] is the one I should go for?


TIA! good day.

You will probably get 100 different answers here..lol. I really have liked Dodo Supernatural, and Supernatural Hybrid on white. They give a great shine, and make the car look super wet. Hybrid also boosts so very good durability, although I have never tested it myself.

In the end AG sells a lot of great waxes, and I don't think you would be disapointed in any of them. Good luck!
 
The final product is important but not nearly as much as polishing the surface prior to applying it. You don't state if you have a machine polisher but I suggest you look into it if you don't. Below are two examples of my white car. No wax or sealant has been applied, the pictures were taken after machine polishing using Menzerna Intensive polish. This sets the stage for the wet look shine you are seeking regardless of what final product you use.

Flannigan, thanks. I am considering the Supernatural but wasn't sure about the hybrid version. Since I'll be polishing prior and apply sealant, would it still make sense to get the hybrid version over the natural wax one?

Thanks Rick. I don't own my own Flex yet but I'll be using one to apply polish/sealant before laying down the wax, yes. I have Blackfire WD and Menz PO85rd, so I'll be applying either one and then apply wax.

Appreciate the sugeestion, thanks :) And your ride looks excellent [and wet]
 
I've used Collinite 845 on my bro's silver Honda and it really brings out the reflections in the paint!!

I had gotten some dodo light fantastic to test on his car! Will test it on his and post a few pics!

I've noticed that only a few waxes are capable of making a difference on a well prepped and polished paint! Generally, a lil glaze even after final polishing and before the wax really amps up the results!
 
Collinite 845 - Good stuff cheep...!:props:
 
845 is most durable on your list, but you are going to have a very difficult time seeing a difference between 845, Fuzion, and Dodo.

I'd would spend 10x the effort on the prep work prior to LSP, then any of the above will look phenomenal.

Three coats of 845 on my Alpine White BMW with Pinnacle Souveran Spray wax as a touch up..Amazing results...IMO..

Amen!
 
Duragloss #501 followed by DG 105 or 111. 105 warm and glossy, 111 wet and glossy. Even though you said paste :D
 
IMHO you could use either of the Products you listed and not be able to tell any difference. Just do a 50/50 and the hood and test my "theory".

I sure wish I was able to tell the difference Deep and glossy versus warm and glossy...I feel like I am missing out :dunno:
 
I agree that you should....
-Follow the advice to prep your vehicle to the highest level of your expectations/standards!


-And since you requested some suggestions for "Best Paste Wax"....
If I were you, I'd want a paste-wax-LSP, that upon drying/curing, would be as optically clear as possible....
This will allow your prep work to "shine" through without being "distorted" as much as possible.


A couple of my favorites:



Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Paste Wax is carnauba paste car wax with polymer additives for maximum longevity. Meguiars #26 High Tech Paste Car Wax is great



Collinite Marque D’Elegance Carnauba Paste Wax #915, car wax, paste auto wax



18 oz. Collinite Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476, carnauba wax



3M Perfect It Show Car Paste Wax, 3m 39526, creates an ultra high gloss finish, with long-lasting protection!


Remember: Paste waxes have different: Ease of application/removal characteristics than their liquid/spray counterparts..
Along with different levels of protection/durability [whether that be actual or perceived....(empirical vs. laboratory testing, perhaps???) ]

Whatever you decide: Have Fun!!

WoW!! That's a lot of responses and great suggestions. Thanks, members. What I seem to hear everyone say in unison is that the preparation by way of polishing and prepping the paint prior to waxing is as important as the waxing itself.

I do have the required polishes and once I get the Flex, I'll do the required prep before I decide on the wax [already have Collinite 845, will try to get samples of Dodo's white waxes and a mini-fuzion].


Thanks everyone. :dblthumb2: The suggestions are exactly what I'll work with. Once I'm done with this activity and have completed the job, I'll post pics on a new thread in the appropraite section of the forum.


Cheers,

Fk1000P. Durable, slick, releases dirt well, amazing value, and it looks good on white.
 
not a paste wax, but i have searched this question and found that the forum commonly recommends duragloss products on white. and they can also be had at a great price. (just picked up 501/601/105 last week).

agree that you will get a whole list of suggestions, from expensive to not so expensive. i'm actually surprised there is such a range of opinion. it seems like a clean nicely waxed white car looks good whether there's a 12$ wax on it or a 100$ wax on it. most also tout easy application.

i will be following the AGO member's advice that it's the prep work that brings out the wow.

a real test would be a blind test. line up a bunch of freshly detailed white cars (or maybe more practical, one car with different waxes on each panel) with the only variable being the wax and then compare and rate them not knowing the product.

reminds me of a study on wine. when people were told how much a bottle of wine, they tended to rate that wine higher than the less expensive wines. when they were blinded to the price, the less expensive wines were rated higher.

of course, part of the fun is collecting those fancy waxes and you can't discount the emotional factor for sure.

It's on black, not on white, but search on Google for "big wax test full review" to get an interesting blind test of different waxes on identical cars :)

The blind test was done in the summer across I believe 7 different waxes on 7 cars exactly the same color, make and year. Anyone have a link? Based on my recollection, 845 and Swissvax came out in the top 2.
 
I tried diamond white this weekend. Digging it out of the small jar and applying by hand did not work for me. I may try removing with a putty knife and applying by machine. I ended up using GPS followed with Optimum spray wax. The gloss is amazing. Don't know about how durable it is yet.
