  • White Dodge Challenger - most reflective LSP?

    Long time lurker and first time poster. Looking for the most reflective LSP for my 2012 WHITE Dodge Challenger. This car is a summer time toy and a winter time garage queen. Considering all prep being equal (wash/clay/DA polish, test spot...), which would be more reflective?

    Ultimate Wax (sealant)?
    Gold Class Carnauba Plus?
    M26?
    Other?

    I am leaving the dark side (Zaino). This car used to wear Zaino, and it looked very nice. Car was vandalized and had to have the roof repaired and painted. After the paint had cured, this was was completely polished and jeweled by a pro, who then coated the car in cquartz. The cquartz is shot and summer is here. The reason I ask about reflectivity is because although the pro polished/jeweled the car well, wife said it did not look as nice as it did when I was using the dark side product. A salesman who calls on me, and is a good friend, said the same thing. I care more about the car looking it's best as opposed to durability.

    I have done a lot of lurking and studying. Received a DA, backplate and pads for Christmas this year. Watched a ton of videos (Mike Phillips, Junkman...etc.) I have learned a lot from this forum, have had success with several meguiars products, and the company appears to have great customer service, and an honest and truthful 'vibe' overall.

    So, all prep being equal, which Meguiars LSP would you say is most glossy/reflective, and recommended for the white Challenger? (crappy picture linked below)
    Thank you in advance!

    If you're looking for max gloss, do whatever correction is needed first (Ultimate Compound, DA Microfiber System, etc) and then finish off with M205 on either a black or yellow foam finishing pad. Top it all off with Ultimate Wax Paste and that white paint should be gleaming.

      Perfect! Thank you Mike! The Ultimate paste wax will give more gloss than the liquid version?

        Welcome to MOL. As an owner of a white car, one can only do so much. A lot of the gloss comes from polishing. With white, you will not get that high gloss like a darker colored car. Same can be said with silver (I own that color as well). With white, I am after a bright white versus a dingy white. I would rather it appear as bright as possible.

        I like UW but I find M21 to give a more candy coated look. M21 is the pro version of NXT. Same product. NXT, M21 and UW are sealants. Which in my opinion look better on lighter colored cars. You can't go wrong with either choice.

        They are the same product other than one is a liquid and the other is a paste. The liquid version won't stain trim.

          I have a silver A4 next on the list. Candy coated is a good description of what I am going after. Thanks Guz!
