Is this wax clear? I need to apply it over a white paint.

The wax has sort of a pale flesh tone look in the can, but it goes on clear. I have used it over white chalk paint and it left no color over the paint. I hope that helps. ;-)

Yes it is clear, it will not change the color, as long as you buy the clear one and not the one for dark wood.

I bought the Clear and the Dark. The Clear does not darken, but the dark does. I did use Clear over white and it did not change the color - it is just a clear outer coat protection.

It worked on my car pretty well, but I got some on my windshield and it left a white residue that I cannot seem to remove.

not 100% sure on this, but what i can tell you is that its a pretty good product! i have a 1991 conversion van with a fiberglass roof. never been detailed before. after washing it, i applied this wax as directed and used a white cloth to remove. MAN, the gunk that came off. i couldnt believe it, with the minimum of effort. hand buffed, no machine. i used about half a bottle for it, so it goes a long way too. doesnt remove surface scratches like a clay bar, but it removes road grime like a champ. pretty much any meguiars products i have used worked well, so good luck. the price cant be beat either. not 100% sure on this, but what i can tell you is that its a pretty good product! i have a 1991 conversion van with a fiberglass roof. never been detailed before. after washing it, i applied this wax as directed and used a white cloth to remove.

It is milky white when wet and a slight haze but clear when dry. The only checking that I've experienced when applying this product to green wood is when I milled a board with the pith, which is to be expected. I've used latex paint as well but with mixed results. I will only use this product for sealing boards.

I agree with Laura. However, the only time I've had the little dots is when I applied to much. This is the best product there is and use it to first CLEAN, like she mentioned, and then apply a coat of wax. The tacky part, I've never experienced. I could imagine a situation though where there was another product already on there - not newly applied, I mean still on the paint. This is polish - it moves paint, is how I like to think of it.

yes it is. And this product don't seems have wax content, so do wax the car after or the clear coat gets wearing out faster.

Have not gotten around to using it yet- so I do not know. If you are concerned about the white- Blue Ice by Turtle Wax does not leave any white residue- I have used that.

Mine has a lot of white in it. Therefore the need for wax. It darkened the white hairs a little, but it did what I wanted.

Sure.....in clear? Only issue might be the wear and tear on the hard tape line??? So when washing or waxing the car that tape line where the dip ends...just my 2 cents....worst case peel and re-spray

Johnson Paste Wax is safe for painted furniture. It is a fairly clear wax so if you are waxing over white paint it will not leave an orange-ish tint as some wax will. Plus, it's cheap and easy to use.

I use a lower RPM so the wax is spread evenly and mnot thrown out of the buffer base. If you use a high speed you also take the chance of burning the paint and causes marks in the finish. Yes it will work but be careful and move the buffer smoothly across the paint finish.

Yes because all this stuff is a clear coat, so trust me it works, don't get me wrong, this stuff is not like a professional booth paint job clear coat, but its the best from my experience for a Do it your self stuff. I even tried the dupli color clear coat and that stuff fades and turns yellow, the USC spray max high gloss does not.

A friend and i just did a project and where able to get a bright white. I am not sure if or how much the color you will be covering impact the final outcome. Ours was a fairly light shade of tan.One note on the tintable already being white. That is what we thought as well. Shot one of the bottles before we realized it was not covering with any real color. Added the paint per instructions and achieved a great white finish.

Yes, it is paintable. I'm an autobody repair technician with 25+ years experience, so I am definitely qualified to answer your question. I would give it at least 24 hours to cure before you spray anything over it (such as primer). I've never had a problem with bubbling, peeling etc. when painting over this product, so you should be ok as long as you give it enough time before you do your prep work.

It's neither a wax nor a sealant. It's a lubricating spray that loosens dust so you can wipe down your car between washes while reducing the chances of scratching the paint.

Definitely NO !!!! This wax is a paste wax which remains solvent when applied so you can spread it, but it dries very hard. . If it dries in a crack or crevice, it will leave a hard white residue which is hard to remove. I only use this wax for smooth finish woodwork. I sometimes have to use a toothpick to remove from corner joins etc. I love this wax for furniture final finishing and have used it for many years. GJR (Woodsworker)

I can't get any White car to shine LOL. Through doing proper prep work.. Claying. Using a Pre wax cleaner such as (ultimate polish or M205 along with a Dual action polisher) . IF you car looks like the picture on the ULtimate compound bottled, then you might have to do that step before. The best I could do was make the car look like new again. Carnauba waxes offer the best look however there is a downside to theses waxes. They last about 2 weeks in 90+ weather.
