so this is my first white car most of my previous car have been dark colours so all the polishes i have are no good so what do people reccomend for white paint work?

Why would your polishes be no good?

because they are specifically for darker colour cars the dodo juice purple haze that I have is for dark colours not white, I didn't know if there was a polish specifically for white paint work

Ahh.. you mean waxes. (Purple Haze is a wax, not a polish).

I'm sceptical about needing different waxes for different paint colours, so I would suggest buying a decent general purpose wax. You will find lots of suggestions on the Detailing World forum.

Bit petty. You are looking for what protection to use ie wax. A lot of owners mistake polish and wax.
I`ve used Swissvax for the candy as I used the wrong stuff when I bought the car and it turned cream lol

Most popular wax are as follows -

Poorboys White Diamond – a liquid glaze to be used pre-wax

Dodo Juice Diamond White – carnauba based hard paste wax

Dodo Juice Light Fantastic – carnauba based soft paste wax

Pinnacle Signature II – a great quality hybrid wax

Collinite 476s – paste wax that combines great shine & longevity

Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid – as it says on the tin – longer lasting than its Supernatural sibling

Dodo Juice Supernatural – a good quality carnauba based wax

Meguiars Ultimate Wax – a pure synthetic paste wax relatively new in the market but getting a good following

yeah i was worried about discolouration thats why i wanted some advice, thanks for the list I've got some autoglym HD wax will that be ok?

I think that will change the cars colour to cream. I`d try it on a panel and see what happens. You won`t see it change straight away as wax cures.
Don`t worry if it turns colour as it`ll wear off.

sorry for the old thread bump (trying to get my posts up a little)

Colour of car shouldnt matter - it all goes on a clear coat anyway
