Extra gloss for white color.

If it's a cleanup detail my two white vehicles get DG 105/501/601(3:1:1) treatment followed by either 845 on the truck or Dodo Hard Diamond on the car. If I polished before I'll do a straight 105/601 mix (4:1) followed by the 845 or Hard diamond. I use DG 951(Aqua Wax) as a drying agent almost every wash.

Frankly that white scooter looks good as far as gloss goes and appears the paint is clean. That might be the best you can get, phots are hard to tell sometimes. You should be able to get P21S S100 or Klasse products in India or import from Europe/Asia sites.
 
Lot of nice looking vechicles...
Maybe a rethink on wax :)
 
I'm of the opinion that the solvents in 845 are so strong that any additional layer will dissolve an old one, so you're left with just one layer on the car. That said, a second application is usually recommended, to ensure even and thorough coverage.
 
How would the durability of 845 compare to Klasse AIO/Gloss for a daily driver that stays outside 24/7?
 
I've had luck after a good wash and clay using the M105 and or M205 followed up with WGDGPS. I've tried a coat of Fuzion on top of the WGDGPS and it looks nice but lately I've just used two layers of WGDGPS. Using the WGDGPS as a stand alone looks very clean and crisp. If I use both I only use one coat of sealant, IMO too much product on top of the sealant seems to dull the gloss and you lose the wet look.

This is reviving a really old thread...

But I have to say this is one of the best posts I have read on AGO (topic = making white paint look it's best)...

I recently switched over from mostly dark cars to now a white audi s4. So I know exactly what your talking about.

If you feel that the paint could look glossier, you are most likely correct.

Over the past year, I have put together a shelf of product that are used on the white s4 only.

to start off, there are product that you want to keep away from a white vehicle. Realistically you are not searching for products that are going to make the car more glossy. You should be looking for products that will make the car "Brighter" or with strong traits of "Reflectivity". There are products specifically designed with these traits.

But to get back to my original thought, here are products you should avoid, IMO and IME, on white,

1 - Products that darken the paint with rich polishing oils. ie: most Meguiars wax's. Even there new ones. (not including there UQW).

2 - Expensive high end Carnuba show car wax's (without polymers added). ie: Pinnacle Souveran, P21S concours, Miglimore. This again goes back to products that are going to darken your paint with oil's. While these products are fantastic and will look nice, they are going against what "i think" you are trying to achieve if I am understanding you correctly.

Basically anything pure carnuba based or oil's that will darken or mute the paint.

Products you will want to use are products that are designed to be very Reflective, or Bright. Here are some of my favorites that I have been using over the past year. From either a wax, paint sealant or detailing spray.

***SEALANTS***
- Blackfire All Finish Paint Protection. This is a polymer sealant, that while I believe does darken paint, it cures and adds lots of reflectivity making the car looks great in and out of the light.

- Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant - Another polymer sealant that has great reflectivity.

- Menzerna Power Lock. Another Great polymer sealant. Out of the 3, this is the one that does the least darkening IME. So while its sun is out, this is "brighter" than the other 2, but when looking at the car in dark lighting or at night, the is not as wet looking as the other 2.

- Pinnacle Liquid Souveran. This is a carnuba based paint sealant. A hybrid of wax and polymers. I have only used a sample of this product and found it very similar to the Wolfgang look. But I have seen it used on white in forum pics with great results.

***WAX***
- Wolfgang Fuzion Hybrid wax. My absolute favorite for all of its traits. It does everything you could ever ask for a white car. Gloss, its very bright, sharp reflections, crisp sealant look, all while looking dripping wet.

-Pinnacle SSII. Another Hybrid wax with carnuba and reflective polymers. Very similar to the Fuzion look, but with less durability. But its not as sharp or crisp looking ans Fuzion. But easily one of the absolute best values on Autogeek. If I have not used over 8oz of each product, I probably would not notice the small differences between this and Fuzion. (minus the durability which is noticeable)

- Detailers Pro Series Max Wax. The new version in the white jar that is WOWO. This is another great product for a temporary finish. Lots of reflections , perfect on white. Good value, easy to use.

- Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid. Gives a nice look. a little tough to work with though.

***SPRAY DETAILERS/WAX***
These are the easiest ways to achieve the extra that you are looking for on any color, but especially white.

-Wolfgang Instant Detailer
-Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz - Amazing !
-Blackfire Deep Gloss Spray - Amazing again !
-Griots Garage Speed Shine - incredible reflections and Brightness !
-Sonax Speed Wax

-Prima Slick
-Optimum Instant detailer
-Optimum Car Wax
-Ultima Waterless Wash Plus - Amazing !
-DP Final Gloss
-Adams Detail Spray
-Dodo Juice Tropical Red Mist - Doesn't get any better than this !

***SOON TO BE USED***
Some products that I have on my shelf are waiting to be used. I have thoroughly read the reviews of these products and have been suggested to use them for there specific traits on light colored cars.

-Wolf Chemical Nano Sealant
-Prima Hyrdo Seal
-2 tubs of Dodo Juice Bouncer 22 wax
-Dodo Juice Light Fantastic
-Dodo Juice White Diamond
