Getting a White car to shine like this..

Re: Getting a White car to shine like this..

Of course you can...... with the right technique. The best, most expensive products in the world won't get the job done on their own, and if a vehicle has a lot of swirls and other defects even a $6000 wax (yes, such a thing does exist) won't make it look like a full concours prep was done on it.

We did this white Chrysler Crossfire a couple of years ago in our garage here at work, with only 3 hours available to us! If we would have had all day we could have improved the final look even more, but with limited time you can only do so much.

Well, you haven't told us what condition your paint is in, but in general I'd say yes. Especially on a newer car like that Mini.

And Meguiars has all the products to achieve it..

hehe, my car is pretty new. about 6 months? has light scratches and swirls.

As I was told by one of the best Professionals here and other sites that 99% is in prep work. Most of the pros would not be able to tell difference between $100. lsp or $20.00.

Re: Getting a White car to shine like this..

Very nice work by the owner of that Mini. The notes state that Wolfgang Finishing Glaze was used prior to the sealant and wax, which is actually rebottled Menzerna 106FA (SuperFinish). 106FA is great finishing polish that I have used quite often, including on my non-metallic white daily driver and the gloss it provides is outstanding. I am willing to wager the paint in that video would look equally impressive if captured after the polishing step without any protection/LSP applied.

The Wolfgang Finishing Glaze...similiar to the #7?

Re: Getting a White car to shine like this..

I have 2 white cars myself...I can tell ya, both my white cars do look like that Mini.
I use pretty much Megs products (wash soap/ wax/ spray wax/detailer) and I really don't think the more $$$ you spend will get you better results. My 2005 G35, if you look pass the rock chips on the front bumper....you'd think the car just rolled off the dealership lot. (my G will be 7 yr old in a few months)
