Question what type of wax for a white car?

ever had the problem of applying wax toa car and having it dry.........white? yes you can tell the difference in shades of white from car paint to dried wax, but id prefer a wax that dries some color besides the white. something very easy to see "missed" spots.

TIA

Try S100. You can pick it up at a Harley Davidson store it is the same thing as P21S and way cheaper. You don't have to worry about seeing it when it hazes you just wipe it on and wipe it off. You also don't have white crap on you trim with it either.

I use liquid glass

Trying doing your waxing in the shade, and smaller portions at a time.

Liquid glass is the best stuff I've ever used(not cheap). You need to bake it in the sun after every coat.

Kyle - For white there is only one choice...
3M Professional Formula One Step Cleaner Wax. I've only had four different colors of cars, but each color has a wax that's best suited for it. Use the 3M, then Zymol after that!! You will NOT be disappointed.

thanks.....

currently i am using meguiars cleaner wax, followed by mequiars step 2 polish (i forget the name of it) and then their step 3. for my trim i use mothers back to black. i just wish the wax would dry to a more contrasting color. on my red 911 white drying wax is awesome.

thanks again
