White Wax

Let's say if my car is clean? May I use black wax to boost some shine based on this ?

We posted this in the Black Wax thread but want to include it here as well for those who are following the White Wax thread more closely. To put White Wax and Black Wax in perspective with our A12 Cleaner Wax, this graphic should help:



You can see that both of these new waxes offer a lot more protection than Cleaner Wax does, but White gives a whole lot more cleaning ability while Black gives a lot more polishing ability.

Unless you have newly sprayed paint, there is no reason why you can't use it.

While you certainly could, you might actually want a more premium product to use on a white car in excellent condition. Something like Ultimate Wax or NXT Tech Wax are still polish/waxes but since they're pure synthetics they'll last longer than either White or Black Wax. But Black Wax is certainly an option in that case.

Mike...cure time needed before topping?

I apply UPW once a week after washing. If I get White Wax, do I apply this once a month? At this rate, is it safe for my clear coat in the long term?

Not really, no. Since it's not a full synthetic you don't have that whole cross linking of polymers to worry about if you choose to apply another wax on top of this.

Really? Why are you using so much wax? As for frequency of use with the White Wax, depending on how you apply it there should be no issues with clear coat life. Now, if you decide to aggressively apply it with a DA and polishing pad every week you might run into trouble down the line, but we don't expect anyone to treat a vehicle this way.

If you're taking really good care of your finish you shouldn't need to use a strong cleaner wax more than 2 or 3 times a year.

We want to be sure and point out a couple of things about these two new waxes:

1 - There are no dyes or colorants of any kind in these waxes. We expect that to be a concern with the Black Wax especially, but it is nothing like that other black wax on the market.

2 - These are sort of like paste waxes in a tube; think about the delivery of toothpaste from a tube and you're really close. The tube is a metalized material so you can roll it up from the bottom, just like a toothpaste tube (which you all roll up from the bottom, right????). The wax itself has a consistency somewhere between what you expect from a true paste and a true liquid, but once you get it on a pad, either a hand pad or a DA pad, it spreads like warm butter. Both will dry to a light haze quite quickly and wipe off is very easy.

if the car has a clear coat on it whats the point of having a wax for a color when you dont work on the colored paint you work on the clear coat??

For example we can look at a white and black car, which one easily shows dust, dirt, and grime? We all know white doesn't give off the same deep reflection as black does. The color behind the clear is important. The new White and Black Wax is keeping things simple for the everyday consumer.
