Default Best wax for a white car

What are our brothers using on their white carreras? I tried griots best of show but the color of the product is brown and seems to leave the color even after buffing. Its shiny but turns out the white is not as white anymore.

Menzerna FMJ
Star Brite Teflonn...it;s a boat product that works awesome on cars
Rejex...extremely shiny!

I've used RejeX Wax and Zaino products (Z2 and Z5) with much success on my Carrara White Boxster. Between waxes, I use Adam's Quick Detailer.

+1 on Rejex. (It's not a wax, BTW.)

mothers carnuba wax works great.
I use the liquid stuff (not sure about the paste...)
If you want to get really into it, use the polish and glaze first. Did this on my black bimmer, what a shine!

S100 is P21S exactly for about half the price - it is a light colored carnauba

I like chemical guys products so I use their 5050 paste wax and use their other spray products in between waxings.

You're getting old like me. I used to use Harleys WAY back when. But as I recall, it was good stuff.

I'd say p21s is a very good choice. But many others - do a search, lots of wax threads here.

Isn't Harley's from the 70s or even older? I remember helping mom wax her car and I think it was Harley's and we used cloth diapers to apply and old tshirts to wipe off. Microfiber wasn't around back then.

White is tough, you really can't get a deep finish which makes using a carnauba questionable.

If you want a cleaner wax you can give Meguiars NXT a try, if you want something that leaves a slick and very reflective surface I would use Zaino Z5 and Z2.
