It's just personal preference. Do the proper prep work, and anything is going to look good. Zaino, Werkstatt, Wolfgang, Pinnacle Sig., S100, Nattys, etc.

My personal fav's on white are : Pinnacle Liquid Souveran, Dodo Wax White Diamond, and Wolfgang Sealant. As offered above, the proper prep is needed first to take advantage of this super products.

Like others have said, a big part of it is in the prep. I read somewhere that Swissvax has a product just for white cars. It might be something worth looking into if it's not over the top in price.
Liquid Souveran can be done as WOWO like paste, or allowed to sit on car and cure while the application is done to the entire automobile. Its quite versatile.

Lots of great waxes out there for white in my experience. I really like the Dodo Juice Diamond White (hard wax) or the Dodo Juice Light Fantastic (soft wax). These waxes are very similar and are designed for light colored paints like white. I like the depth and gloss of the Dodo Juice waxes and they are really strong of protection. I'm also a really big fan of the Chemical Guys 50/50 Limited Edition Concourse Paste Wax. It applies really easy and looks great on white and virtually all colors.
I'm set on trying one of these waxes. Is the hard wax take a lot more effort to apply/remove compared to the soft wax?
It is all relative but I would say it's pretty similar to most paste waxes. If you just work the applicator in a circular motion you'll get enough on your applicator with no problems. Then just spread it and buff it in as usually do and it should remove later with no problems. The Dodo Juice soft waxes can literally be applied by hand. Just clean your hands and get a little bit on your hands and work the wax around the palm of your hand and spread it by hand. The heat from your hands helps make the wax extra soft and spread easier. Soft waxes tend to spread not quite as thin but they leave a very deep gloss. Both options are great just depends on what works best for you. We have some more information about Dodo Juice Soft vs Hard Waxes here. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Greg!
If you were doing a white car and you had to choose between the two, which would it be and why?

Since I will have a paint sealant applied for durability, I went with the higher gloss light fantastic.

I think you made the right decision. Both options are excellent but since you have the sealant the light fantastic would probably be my choice. I hope you enjoy the product and I look forward to hearing about your experience with it if you get time.
After Klasse AIO and a couple coats of Klasse glaze, would you put a Dodo wax over it on a silver metallic vette?
The combination of AIO and a couple coats of the Klasse HGSG should leave a pretty nice shine and obviously a lot of protection. Topping it with one of the Dodo Juice waxes should probably add more depth and gloss to the appearance. It's tough to say how much it will actually improve the shine and it's pretty subjective on whether it is worth it or not. If you want the best shine possible it's probably worth it, but if you want to save time it's probably a step you could live with out. Let me know if you have any other questions.
