Best paste wax for a white car

[umi000]

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.

It was 915 and Swissvax Concorso/Best of Show Not sure if it's ok to link to another forum, just do a Google search for "big wax test full review".

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.

When you say by hand, do you mean using a hand applicator, or with your bare hands? If using your bare hands, I don't think Diamond White is the best choice - Light Fantastic would have been better, as it's the soft wax for light colors.

But I've been hearing almost always that the C 915 was best on dark colored cars and C 845 was the best for light colored cars [white, silver, etc]..

If you have pictures of 915 on a white, could you please share?


Thanks

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

thx for the link...nice test. nearly half the people did not vote on the cars cause they couldn't even see a difference!

my take on this: why one wax is chosen over another has a lot of subjectivity/emotional factor...a whole lot, because it is what drives me to buy 100+$ wax that is indistinguishable from a 15$ wax.

i bet its even harder to tell the difference on a white vehicle.

from expensive to affordable, i dont feel i'd go wrong with any of the waxes on AG and its competitors.

it would be great to throw turtle wax (the ugly stepchild of wax) in a blind test like that.
