Default Different waxes for different colors?

Hey all,

A quick search didn't turn up anything, so I'll ask here. In the world of quality waxes, is there much difference between waxes for different colors of paint? My car specifically is white (2012 V6 stang, see my garage). I was looking at a few different waxes, such as Dodo Juice Light Fantastic that is supposed to be best on light colors.

So is there a few waxes I should try, or avoid for that matter, or are most quality waxes about equal with regards to color?

Thanks,

Personally I have tried just about everything out there on my Harleys over the years, I HAD AN 2009 Challenger SRT8 and bought stuff from Griots Garage for that.

I have used all of the Mother's, MeQuires both over the counter, stuff and professional stuff.

I now have a 2012 GT also White, and brought it home from the dealer and applied two coats of Liquid Glass before I even drove it, and all I can say is the stuff is awesome. Goes on easy, and comes off easy. It is best if you can put it on, let it sit over night in your garage, and then buff it off. Pull the car out in the sun for half a day or so and let it cure, then back in let it cool down and repeat.

They claim the more coats you do the deeper and wetter the shine, and it outlast regular waxes 10 fold. I have nothing at all to do with the company, and just tried the stuff on my 2011 HD Screaming Eagle Road Glide, after reading about it on the Harley Forum I frequent. Another good one is a product called Glare also heard of that from the forum, and it is good also, but I prefer Liquid Glass.

My white 5.0 looks like it is wet, and it is smooth as glass, hence the name. Do a search on it there is lot of talk about it on numerous forums, Corvette, HD, lots!!

polishing will remove imperfections and improve the clarity of the paint.
