Has anyone used this on a white car? Could you please let me know if this did add a good amount of shine. Thank you!

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.

"a good amount of shine" is very subjective. This is a very good OTC wax, but, as with any wax, the prep work before you apply a wax is what makes most waxes really shine or just look ok. Swirls, scratches, RIDS, faded paint, clear coat failure all have more of an effect on the look of the wax than the wax itself.A very clean car, using a clay bar, polishing out swirls, holograms, small scratches all matter more than most people wold believe. So, I'd start with getting my paint in pristine condition before i started putting wax on the car and hoping it's going to shine like a sunset over a body of water.

Its more of a cleaner and protector than a shine enhancer. White is not really shiny by nature like black paint is. It does add a nice glossy smooth look though.

I've used it on my white gti and its worked great. Can't say anything about using it on a car without clear coat.

My friend just tinted a whole bunch of Raptor white so you can definitely get it a nice bright white. However, if you are spraying it over something dark you may need 2 or 3 coats for full coverage.

It goes on clear. Don't be alarm when you put it on. It looks white but rub it in and it will be clear. A little goes a long way.

I'm afraid I can't really answer this question. I used it only on a Pearl White Subaru and I liked it especially the way water sheets off the surface. It is easier to apply than any other wax I have used, but will it make your dark car sing? Can't say. Wouldn't it be interesting to try a comparison on (for example) each of four fenders?

I am using it on white aneline leather. It's working well with no discoloration problems.

I tried it in the sun and it wasn't as good as when the metal was cooler. In hot sun the water evaporates almost before you spread the wax, and the wax seems to melt instead of shine, and leaves streaks. Find some shade. I use a microfiber towel, spray the water / wax on it so it's barely damp, then a little on the car. Long swipes leaves a smooth application. It dries in seconds, keep wiping and it shines beautifully. This is all I have ever used on my Model S, and on the Paint Protection Film on the hood, and it still really snaps heads after a year. A quick wipe with a damp microfiber, then a quick spray of Quick Wax and it looks like you had it detailed. I tried it in the sun and it wasn't as good as when the metal was cooler.

My husband used it on his classic car and it did an excellent job. The car dried faster than drying with a chamois. A few of the other folks in our car club also use it for that purpose and like the results.

Yes, you can use it on any color, including white. It will make the color bright in your case. I've used it on a dark blue, maroon, and fire truck red clearcoat paint. It just brings out the natural color and finish of the paint. It should make your vehicle more bright.

Just spray it on from about 5-7 inches one clean pass has kept mine durable and just like the day i sprayed it and no it dosent peel off i used goof off on my old car to get it off and idk about the glossifier but im pretty sure it would work since u can plasti dip lights anyway.

not that i have seen i used it with a buffer and its amazing. brings the color and shine back, and i would recommend this to anyone. the only thing that might be bad is if your car has heavy paint oxidation, but it would even work then. i recommend all meguires products.

It does leave a white sheen however if you work a little it all gets rubbed in but it does take some work. It is great sunscreen

If you mean can you use this product to wash your Lexus, I can't imagine why not. I used it on our two cars and my husband's expensive motorcycle and all came out the other end looking brand new. Both the motorcycle and one of the cars has "pearlized" paint like my Lexus did and they looked great with shine and sparkle. I recommend a wax to protect the finish of your car as you would if you washed it with any product. The same company makes a spray on, high end wax to complete the process.

I haven't tried that. This product is a powder, kind of like barkeepers friend, comet, baking soda, etc. It's a mild abrasive, a polish, and there are polishes specifically for buffing cars etc, I'd probably go with an automotive product just to be sure.

My car is super black and not metallic. However, I will tell you that it works great on my car and hides all minor scratches. The shine remains. I was skeptical when I bought it, but have been very satisfied. Reviews of this item are very positive.

I have a colleague that used it on his car and it sat too long and removed the paint. If you use it, I would wipe it down and wash it with soap and water soon after it is applied. It may have been a fluke but thought I would share their experience.
