Re: White Wax

How does it compare to D151?

Michael answered it before...

There is a certain similarity in that both are technically cleaner waxes, but the user experience is very different with White Wax and D151 - the White Wax is a much smoother, butter like application, wipes off easier and offers a bit more protection.

This is quite a resume for both in theory....

Re: White Wax

Mike...would you say this is "pad dependent?" Meaning, if one doesnt want to utilize the SMAT abras. as much, could you use a finishing pad to just use it as a strong cleaner?

Re: White Wax

A milder pad, less working time, less pressure would all decrease the effective abrasiveness.

Re: White Wax

Will definitely be getting this. Have a White Surburban that I can't wait to use it on.

Yes, but this could be said of pretty much any product on the market to some degree. But if you just use it with a finishing pad you may be losing out on some serious cleaning and defect removal ability. For example, the info below was taken from our post about the TNOG event last week where we played with some of the new products:

People have asked if they could use the cleaning ability of White Wax on a darker colored car. Well sure you can! Remember, this new White Wax is essentially a cleaner wax that uses SMAT abrasives, so it's got a lot of cleaning power. Here's a before shot of some swirled blue paint.


One application of White Wax and the swirls are almost completely gone. No, it's not a substitute for a full, dedicated paint cleaner like Ultimate Compound, but for a one step this is a huge result!

I'm liking the sound of these 2013 products.

Re: White Wax

This is going to be a huge hit for Meguiar's. Now that I have a white truck, and my wife has a white vehicle, This will be on my shelf next to the NXT 2.0.

Maybe I have missed it, but what kind of scent does it have?

Re: White Wax

I'd like to try this on my silver TSX, although I'm not sure it could look any more AWESOME than it already does!

Re: White Wax

How does this compare to UP?

Re: White Wax

Well, Ult. Polish is a cleaner/polish, while this is a cleaner/polish/wax... so a bit different.

The cleaning ability could come out close, or even stronger with this product though.

Re: White Wax

First off, welcome to MOL!

Yes, this can be classed as a cleaner wax, but it's a pretty potent cleaner wax due to the SMAT abrasives in it. Single stage white tends to be incredibly hard because of the titanium dioxide used as the pigment, so trying to fully correct defects in it by hand is tough even with a dedicated compound, let alone a cleaner wax. But White Wax should help dramatically with the removal of embedded dirt and other things that dull down the color and steal it of the vibrancy it once had.

Thanks for the welcome and the information, Mike!

Re: White Wax

Clay bar or cleaner wax? I have a bright silver 370Z that's a year old, is garaged, no visible swirls, no door dings or scratches and only 3 or 4 small rock chips. I'm 75 and it's getting a little harder to take care of the car but I still clay bar in the spring and again in the fall and wax occasionally with NXT and like to keep the car looking good. Should I give up the clay in favor of white wax or should I use them both? Also how about an in between color such as my son's solar orange 350Z (which was mine before the new silver 370), white or black? And how about the hand applied paint pin striping he has on the car? Will the cleaner wax destroy it?
