What polishes and waxes work good together for light colored cars such as sunlit sand?

 

for some strange reason i think i read somewhere any carnabu(sp) base wax are good for light color cars and any "synthetic" wax are recommend for dark color cars
or the other way around
im sure prinz or bman will chime in on this

I would use Meguiars Speed Glaze # 80 and NXT.

Poorbots EXP+ and Clearkote Vanilla Moose

 

I have EX-P on my car plus Pinnacle Paste Glaz. They work very well together and really can make a light color "pop", though light colors are typically very hard to get to shine and reflect like light darker colors can. You can see the results from the EX-P and PG on my car at the bottom of my webpage.

BTW, EX-P and Paste Glaz can be purchased online at www.autogeek.net.
EX-P I believe is $15/bottle and Paste Glaz is $35/jar, but is sometimes on sale for less.

 

Just from personal experience, I know that natural, carnauba waxes don't last very long on dark cars. Natural wax starts to solublize at about 160F, so even just sitting in the sun on a dark car is enough to soften and ruin a natural wax job.

I'm using Einzsett Glanz Wax on my black Maxima now with good results, but it is a synthetic wax I believe. I always liked Meg's #16 because of it's awesome carnauba shine, but it doesn't last at all on my black car. It works great on lighter colors, though.

 

You should probably just try some waxes with good reputations and see how you like them. Carnauba waxes that really are nothing but carnauba and some solvents are pretty rare these days, and most have some silicones and other synthetic ingredients in them for various reasons to improve their performance.
