Wax for White

Well this year for x-mas Im getting my brother some car care materials for his 91 white blazer, so he dosnt use my stuff...He wants something thats easier to see when it hazes, because he will notice later on spots of wax that he didnt get off, what are your suggestions?? please keep this store bought!

White is quite a bit more forgiving than a deep, dark color...

Liquid Glass or a decent Meguire's product can be found in stores, and would probably do just fine...

Here's another vote for Mothers 3-step. We used it on mom's 4-Runner until dad got the Zaino for his new truck. I will admit, Zaino is IMPOSSIBLE to see on white

Heck, it's hard to see on my dark red!

But the Mothers shows well.

Pix when you're done

he got the meguiars 3 step, well actually he didnt get the paint cleaner, because his paint is about 2 months old...he did the last 2 steps( polish, and wax) and looked pretty good..Its still hard to see, if he likes this ill get him the whole 3 step for x-mas or maybe the mothers 3 step.

When they say it's "hard to see", I think everyone is referring to when it hazes... not the finished product...

Well, when you put enough Zaino on white, it does become very hard to look at...

especially in full sun..

because you'll go BLIND from the shine

I have had two white trucks, no matter what polish/wax you use it's tough to see on white. Use a synthetic, it will last 5 times longer than carnauba

Z2 or Z5 will work great on White. Z2/ZFX will especially blind you.

I just did a coat of Z5 on my wife's GTP. It worked great too!!
