GXPaycheck Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 They all go on and dry white! On a white car, it's a pain trying to figure out if you missed a spot. You formulation geniuses need to find a way to color the stuff so it goes on colored and dries white, or vice versa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I feel your pain Brian... I hate waxing Amanda's Equinox for this EXACT reason... I'll spend forever looking at each panel from every angle, swear its all gone, then notice another spot I missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XQIZT Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I hear ya on the white and silver thing...Ya just gotta get DOWN ...if you practically lay your head sideways on the surface and look over the reflection, its obvious where the product is. Just appreciate the fact that white and silver look pretty dang good even when they are "dirty" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I waxed my car yesterday (silver)....nightmare. My advice is to wait till it's darker out and you can see the haziness of the wax eaiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll spend forever looking at each panel from every angle, swear its all gone, then notice another spot I missed it took me a week to find all the very faint americana lines on my g8 that i missed when removing it. i'd be walking back to the car and the sun would hit at the right angle like AW COME ON just an applicator damp with a small amount of revive took care of them, followed by a quick re-application of the wax.

Kustom_FX Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 You think white is hard to wax? Try buying a used one with enough swirls to make even the Junkman faint, and try to PC them out! I spent over an hour on the hood alone and its still only 80% corrected because I cant see the dang swirls except in direct sunlight! Not even with 1500 watts of light!

Something like the DAP spackle that goes on pink then dries white... lol It would be fun to use. We have one black and one white vehicle, so the best (and sometimes worst) of both worlds.

Carnut1 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Be systematic and use a pattern that covers all areas at least twice. I cover my white Cayenne no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Before a correction (or after to see what I'd missed) on my Wife's white car I'll park it near the street lamp in front of our house at night and sure enough, there they are. So easy to see in that light. Missing the wax and finding it a day or so later: kinda' like walking around with your fly down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florescent lights at gas stations at night show any imperfections on a car. We are all already crazy I have DS'd my car while filling the car up with gas.

Doug123 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Wonder if either of the waxes fluoresces under a black light? If there was a trace of something that glowed under ultraviolet light, you'd have an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all already crazy I have DS'd my car while filling the car up with gas. That's why I have two florescent lights in my garage. Before I did my car it looked grey under the lights. That was the tell-tell sign that it was time for Adam's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsford Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Don't buy a white car. I've never had good luck with white cars. The paint always chips off after a while or you hit a **** parked car with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
