Re: White Wax
This is quite a resume for both in theory....

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!

Re: White Wax
^^ Nice. I'd like to try this on my silver dd...Originally posted by BluelineI own a silver vehicle and a black vehicle owns me. The black one demands attention, washing, detailing, waxing and an occasional dinner out at a nice restaurant. The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

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?-James

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.

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?
