Guys you can see AutoGlym deep shine once it's dried, you just have to pop a squat and catch the reflections. It sounds like a pain in the neck, but once you know where to look i.e. places you might have missed like near the door handles etc, it's easy  |

Dodo Juice. Thoroughly recommend it. They do various types for various colours - Diamond white and Light Fantastic for light cars. I put it on by hand (literally - hand in tub, rub in with bare hand). It's all natural ingredients and even smells nice. sound a bit like an advert. http://www.dodojuice.com/dodo-juice-range.html |

I polished/waxed my white Abarth a few days ago & used Swissvax Glacier. It's very easy to apply and remove. The car is now super shiney. I highly recommend this wax, it's expensive but, as you only use a small amount, it will last for ages. |

Always buy through one of the ebay shops.
the DODO JUICE Sampler Kits are a good way of starting. you get 2 types of wax for light colours plus some Lime Prime Lite.
I bought one last July and I reckon it'll last through this summer too (and it's only a sampler).
I also use some quicker to apply liquid Wax for when I want a quick shine but don't have the time.

Hi
I used some of the Diamond White Dodo wax on my BN white car at the weekend..... it looks the nutz after and it went on super easy,,, but going back to the theme of the thread it was the devils own job to see where I had put it/where I needed to buff.
Surely there has to be a white car wax, that hazes up another colour so you can see it / see where you have missed??

I had the same problem with the Poorboys Show Glaze for light cars. More recently i have been using their Polish with sealant, which is dries a hazy orange and is much easy to spot the bits i miss  |

I think its all about the lighting, I never polish in direct sunlight, and prefer to polish a car either first thing in morning on weekend, or last thing at night.. this way the light is reflecting all over the place and easier to spot where I haven't buffed off.
having said that, the Meguirs is harder to spot, but my zymol which is a blue ish is better once it has dried.

Its easy to see polish on the Funk White, cus the Funk part gives a creamy tinge, so the polish just sits there saying "hey look, I'm some polish"

Zymol is good stuff, but prefer Swissvax. They do one for white paintwork.

Agreed on quality it was Swissol when i bought it but £95 for a tub of Wax jeez and they have a false bottom in then so theres less in there than u think DODO juice for me. |
