Ugh I hate all of you! My white car was polished by a lava rock and sand I think before I got it. Used clay then XMT2 today with the PC and thought I got about 70% of the swirls and scratches out. Was hard to tell due to fading light and being tired. Looked tonight and STILL a ton of swirls in the paint UGH!.



Someone pass the granite chips and brillo pads I am having at it one more time for good!
 
I'll be re-doing this during the summer

Used Megs #80 on a white SFX pad via pc to polish last time and topped with CG 50/50 wax, looking for something to give it the extra wow factor this year myself :nixweiss

Many products work well on white, but mainly its about contrast and cleanliness!!! I've been having good luck with P21s as a LSP, Caranuba Jett, and AJT works well also...here are a few pictures of my Mach...

So like people have said, making white look good can be hard, but make sure you have contrast and make sure you keep up with dressing your trim :)

that is an awesome finish. Only white car I have had to play with is my 94 hilux which I polished by rotary with Blackfire 106FF and driven to perfection polish, ultra gloss, clearkote VM (all together at once) with an LC CCS blue pad and topped with Driven to perfection polish (it's a 6 to 12 month sealant as well) and 2 x fireglaze DS and driven to perfection quick spray with LC CCS blue pad three weeks later



The hood is awesome considering how crappy the paint is from factory.
 
My neighbor and I just polished his white GMC pickup using the rotary, Megs burgundy pad, Menzerna IP, AIO, and topped it with P21S.



When it got dark, we used a halogen lamp to light the panels.
 
Im no Pro at this but a while ago after reading alot, My steps for my white cars are:

Wash

Clay

FP-II

Klasse AIO

4*UPP



that combo looks realy well and very slick. I want to try some differant things now that Im about out of each. But there are Sooo many its easy to get confused:)
 
To me, white is just like black except the other end of the color spectrum. Like black, it is a challenge to get it to look just right. Here is a shot of my truck showing the reflection that white can have. My process this time was wash and wax with "Beats Um All." Of course it had already been properly prepped before this.
