Default White Paint - Colored Wax??????

I always use Meguiars wax. It's always done extremely well on all other vehicle colors I've ever owned.

It's a pain in the ___ to look at all angles of your paint in all shades/light to see if you missed any spots to apply/remove the wax.

Is there any comparible wax's out there for white vehicles?

i SO feel you on this one. waxed mine last thursday and was continually walking around the box looking for wax i might have missed.

it's a helluva wax (puts on a great shine), but damn is it hard to see...even when dry.

gotta love that silky smooth feeling on a freshly waxed car.

Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax is very easy to apply and wipeoff. Good for those who like to wax their cars bi-weekly plus it's also colorless so it works great with light colored vehicles.

I hear ya! I just used NXT liquid for the first time over the weekend....WOW! I love it! The finish feels like teflon coated ice. It goes on easy, comes off easy, and it even smells great.

You guys are missing my point....

I'm wondering if there is a colored wax out there, that works like Meguiars does. It's very hard to see where you applied the wax, and where you've removed.

From what I have seen most of the colored waxes dry white such as Zymol which is blue....

Actually, I knew that was your point. I was just agreeing with M-Flo that NXT is awesome wax. I'm not aware of any wax that dries in any other color besides white.

I've never used it, so I can't say how long it stays black, but hopefully it will help.

I should point out that this wax is for black cars, but the wax is supposidly only
black till it melts into the finish, then is clear like any other.

I'm honestly not sure, I've only heard (online) that people
with light color cars have used it.
