Now you can add a glaze to give the paint a wet and deep look, the glaze will also leave your paint feeling really slick.  Lastly I would top with a sealant to really make your white paint pop.  Here are the products that I would go with in order: Wash Claybar Obsessive Detail Light Polish Wet Glaze Hyper Shine Sealant Hope this helps.  Let me know if you have anymore questions. _____________________________ http://www.obsessivedetail.com Your source for high quality detailing products and accessories. 2004 Saleen S/C #170 (in reply to Torque07) Post #: 2

RE: White Paint Care - 9/22/2007 6:46:23 PM    Juztang Posts: 2405 Joined: 10/4/2004 From: Westville, IL Status: offline You don't really need to use a wax if you are using a sealant. A sealant is actually adds more protection than a wax too.  If you do prefer to use a wax it will go after the sealant.  Sealants can be layered over each other but they can't be put on over a wax because it won't bond right.  A wax will go over a sealant with no problem. _____________________________ http://www.obsessivedetail.com Your source for high quality detailing products and accessories. 2004 Saleen S/C #170 (in reply to oshkoshbajawsh) Post #: 8

RE: White Paint Care - 9/22/2007 7:10:34 PM    Juztang Posts: 2405 Joined: 10/4/2004 From: Westville, IL Status: offline Sealants are starting to get more popular.  Sealants are more durable than a wax but lack the depth and wetness of wax, this is why a lot of people like to top sealants with a wax to get the best of both worlds. I think if you add my acrylic glaze before the sealant you will get the wetness and depth you need without having to top it with a wax.  A sealant is just as easy to use as a wax too, my sealant goes on easy and comes off easy with no residue.  So do my polishes, glazes, and waxes. < Message edited by Juztang -- 9/22/2007 7:16:43 PM > _____________________________ http://www.obsessivedetail.com Your source for high quality detailing products and accessories. 2004 Saleen S/C #170 (in reply to oshkoshbajawsh) Post #: 10
