Re: The power of White Wax

Would the cut of White Wax be pretty similar to D151? I usually stick with D151 topped with UQW for one-step details but am considering buying a tube of White Wax to have on hand in case I ever have to work in the sun. Usually I just try to do things in whatever order is needed to avoid working in direct sun but it would be good to have something on hand for when I have no choice.

Others have already discussed the cutting power of White Wax but I'll just add this - get yourself a tube or three now; you won't regret it!!

Ok, I forgot that D151 had SMAT too. So they both have it...

Re: The power of White Wax

I was actually thinking D151 (PRC) had SMAT. Is that not the case?

It does. It's been mentioned on the forum that white wax contains the same SMAT abrasives found in M101. Just less of them.

Re: The power of White Wax

My understanding is that it has slightly more cut than D151.
It also has SMAT abrasives, so if you work it a bit longer it will continue to cut, which also makes it more powerful.

Re: The power of White Wax

is WW more or less abrasive than SwirlX?

This is a question for Nick. But I have not used swirlx in so long that I am going to say that white wax will out cut it given that white wax contains the same abrasives as M101. But I could be wrong.

Good to find this and read about white wax, good weather today and very happy with the end result.

Re: The power of White Wax

Yes it is. It offers more correction than colorx. Doesn't hurt to have it in your arsenal for those quick details.

Re: The power of White Wax

I like that diagram Michael! Thanks for posting that!

And Holy Cow do I have to say something about White Wax. I am so sorry I don't have any photos to show from today's detail I did. But man I like this stuff alot! Like some of you have said, this Wax is not just for White cars, but any color cars. I think this is a GREAT cleaner wax!

Today I detailed my Aunts Navy Blue Camry. I was looking for a real good AIO, so I could keep it at a one step process. You guys had recommended White Wax, which surprised me, because I only thought it was for White cars. But you guys said it has really good cleaning properties for an AIO. The car had a lot of light scratches around it, I think because my Aunt takes it to the local car washes, and those damn rollers probably scratch her car all up.

Anyway, the AIO took pretty much all of them out and left a beautiful bright shine to the car. Then to just top things off a bit, I used Ultimate Quick Wax which really set it off nicely. My Dad was impressed by the reflections on the car. This stuff has a great One/Two punch to it man. Great Cleaning/Great Shine.

Thankyou guys for recommending this wax to me. I think this is turning out to be a great Daily Drive One Step Wax. But, for making money wise, I am wondering if I need to get the Gallon of D151. I'm not sure how they compare at all in results and also cost-efficiency?

Have a good week!

Re: The power of White Wax

White wax, seems like a good (or brilliant) all-in-one wax. Seems to clean (remove minor scatches) well. Since I'm about to run out of detailing time, this looks promising in cutting my detail time significantly. Maybe this Christmas, I'll get one.

Re: The power of White Wax

This may become my Go-To AIO for the daily drivers I do. I was truly amazed to see it's affect on the dark car you did! I see the term IPA thrown around quite a bit. What does this stand for?

IPA=Isopropyl alcohol

But afterwards, it could well mean, India Pale Ale.

Here's the end result of white wax on a black truck.

Hooooly COW Michael! That was an excellent post with all the photos and everything. That is exactly what my customers would like to see. They are all daily drivers, and normally wouldn't want to pay for a full 3 step process. But this white wax is seeming to be an excellent AIO, to clean and put nice shine back to the paint.


Thank you for sharing your results with us!
