What do you put on YOUR white car?

I used Griot's Paint Sealant, Griot's Glass Sealant, and Adam's Super VRT with nice looking results.

I like Griot's Paint Sealant also, it does last and looks really nice if you top it with Meguiar's NXT wax, for some reason it's a great combo.
Still have a half a bottle of the Griot's.
 
My car is Subaru's satin white pearl.
LSPs I've used:

Zaino Z2pro
Zaino Clear Seal
Duragloss 111
Optimum Opti Seal
Finish Kare 1000P

Getting the paint exceptionally clean prior to sealing IMO is the most important thing for my color. DG 501 does a very good job.
I also have some PB White Diamond glaze which I've yet to try.

Heard good things about this also! There's just 165398452 options out there which makes picking something really difficult

...and we only enough money to buy 0.000001% of them.

I think WGDPS would add some zing to a white in very good condition (minimal swirls). It has a clarity that many sealants do not but it has minimal hiding for not very good paint.

Your right, the Wolfgang Paint Sealant does hide anything, even the slightest swirls.
However the DP Glossy Paint Sealant has some,not saying its great but it does hide some light defects.
Heck their both good, good enough to have and use both. :dblthumb2:
 
I used blackfire wet diamond followed by mothers reflections and a final wipedown with Meguiars Ultimate Quick Detailer

 
I use Sonax Polymer Netshield and DP Glass Coating on my mom's pearl white IS250.

I am using the klasse twins on mine. I will be trying out meg's M21+M26 combo on it as I am polishing it right now.
 
Cquartz made my white paint look dripping wet even when it was dirty.
I like duragloss sealants and collinite waxes as well.
 
Opti-coat and before that Opti-Seal.

I'm probably going to buy WGDGPS. I might throw in a couple of other combos (like Duragloss 111, Blacklight, FK1000P, UPGP, etc.)

Keep the suggestions coming! I have a couple of pics I'll post in a little bit.

Thanks. :)

WGDGPS is a bright sealant IMO, it doesn't deepen the paint color like some others seem to.

And it has the look that I really like a lot. :xyxthumbs:

When I corrected my '97 Tahoe's Paint last year, I Iron-X'd, Clayed, WG Total Swirl Remover, and then went straight to WGDGPS 3.0.

The truck did indeed look beautiful after, I think I turned the clock back on the look of the vehicle ten years.

It was a lot of back breaking work to say the least. I think I spent an entire day just on the Roof. Started at the top, and worked my way down.

Yet, still, I wanted more, wanted that totally dripping wet glassy look, and in truth, I think I was a little bit disappointed, the WGDGPS 3.0 seemed to work phenomenal on my Magenta Kia, but to me not so much on the Tahoe's white paint, and felt maybe I could've gotten more somehow?

One possible fault of mine, I did not follow WG TSR with the WG Finishing Glaze, the paint was then totally swirl free, and mighty clean looking at that point, but the Finishing Glaze with a soft pad and some light passes might have taken the shine-gloss even further, and as they say, hindsight sometimes has 20/20 vision.

I have some Menzerna SF4500 on hand, and I think this year when the weather starts reaching a comfy mid 70's and dry-low humidity, I'll break out and try the Menz SF4500, probably a white, or maybe even a black LC Pad, something soft, then the Pinnacle GL Paint Cleanser, and follow with a coat of the Pinnacle GL Paint Coating?

After that, who knows, I might try a topper? Or just buy the GL Coating Booster on my next order?

The paint should look wet after the polishing stage ideally. :)

I used M205 on both of mine for the polishing step, Megs Yellow Polishing Pad on speed 5 (G110 V2) for the truck when I buffed it out the last time.

Then when I changed LSP's I used WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer to clean it up before using WGDGPS.

That's 2 coats of WGDGPS and 2 coats of WG DG Spritz Sealant used as a drying aid.

I have M205 on hand, as well as the WG Finishing Glaze, and Menzerna SF4500.
With Plenty of Pads on hand, I'll have to experiment, and I know it will probably be hard to determine which of the three will work best, and hopefully enhance gloss even further.

My goal this time will be to enhance the gloss a bit further.

Doing taped off test spots will probably be wise, and I'm going to need some good lighting aid, something I'm truly lacking here. Seriously considering at least some sort of good handheld light. Figuring the test spots might prove difficult if I cannot "see".

Test spots would be the best way I suppose. :)

I usually just use M205, but I have WG Finishing Glaze too and M83.
