White Wax

Re: White Wax

I have a black Tahoe with a number of scratches and swirls. What would be the best way to approach this issue? Should I use white wax as a first coat to hit the scratches as much as possible? Then, apply a second coat with the Black wax for polishing and addressing the swirls? Lastly, apply an ultimate wax for sealant and longevity purposes? Should a buffer be used with the white wax? Those are just my thoughts. Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!

Re: White Wax

Well, depends on how bad the scratches are.

If real bad, you would be best to do something like Ult. Compound. You could follow that with the Black Wax then Wax if you wanted, or some other combination of products.

If you were to try the White Wax, (or the UC), a DA buffer or the DA Power System would certainly help.

If you ended up just using the White Wax, I would just go to the regular Ult. Wax after using it.

Meguiar's White Wax Cleaning ability brings lighted color cars back to life, giving a clean/smooth feel to the touch plus a radiant shine. Awesome product, awesome price and awesome results from 2 coats. (hand applied).

Re: White Wax

White Waxed my 2006 Honda Odyssey in Ocean Mist Mettalic this morning. The product worked great. I used the yellow pad on my g110v2 polisher on the 4 setting. Went on super easy and came off just as easy. I waxed the entire vehicle and then wiped it off. Meguiar's just keeps on knocking the ball out of the park with these new products. For a one step cleaner/polisher/wax this product does a great job. Will probably wash the van next weekend and then put a layer of ultimate liquid wax on it. We will see.

Thanks again Meguiar's!

Re: White Wax

i have a white wax, do i still need a ultimate polish? or not really necessary

Re: White Wax

You really wouldn't use the Ult. Polish in a detail with the White wax.

Re: White Wax

Murr you told me that white wax cut is very close to UP on the other thread. (for my soft paint at the boot which was repainted)
For the rest of my car, i used 105 for initial removal of swirls and scratches with buff and shine MF cutting pad. and I will finish with a polishing pad with m205 or UP. Since my 205 and UP is finishing soon, could i get whitewax instead for this step if the cutting is really close to UP ?

Re: White Wax

Yeah, any of those would be fine for regular detailing use, as far as the cleaning ability. The Ult. Polish and #205 will have more polishing oils, so that part is up to you.

- Wash
- Clay
- White Wax
- Wax

or:

- Wash
- Clay
- #205
- Wax

Re: White Wax

im refering to replacing my current combo 105/205 with 105/WW.

Should it be possible and will i get similar result?

[Murr1525]

Re: White Wax

Yes it is possible.

You will lose some polishing oils. So you may not get the same depth on darker colors.

It will be one less step, since it would could as the first coat of wax.

So you just have to determine for yourself if the time savings is worth the less polishing oils. That is just up to you. For absolute best results, individual steps will general be best.

Re: White Wax

I purchased both the White and Black yesterday, I have a car club meet on Saturday. Figured the 8 year old white might need a little cleaning.

Re: White Wax

I bought 2 white wax last week and started using the 1st tube. I keep it in my cupboard and the oil started to leak from the back of the tube.

Anyway I use ziplock back to prevent oil leak in my cupboard. Could I squeeze all the white wax into my empty NXT paste wax metal can?

I also want to know will whitewax stain plastic trim and do i need to tape them before applying whitewax?

Yes the tubes leak. My Black Wax especialy. So Meg's needs to fix the packaging.
Just about all waxes, especialy compounds/polish will stain plastic. Some more then others.
It's always a good idea to tape off areas you don't want damaged.
