Default Bringing a White car back to life

I'm getting a white STI within a few weeks

and ive already followed the advice regarding products and bought

JEFFS Werkstatt Jett trigger
JEFFS Werkstatt Prime

forgive my ignorance but am i right in thinking i dont need wax on a white car then?

As much as i love washing my car I may seek an initial professional buffing - how do I find a good one?

Within 50 miles of the M25/Kent area?

Cheers
Trevor

I have used Swissol products on mine and have been very well pleased

I have to say that I have also used JEFFS Werkstatt Jett trigger on top of the Wax almost as a detailling spray and it is a nice product

all IMHO of course

Glad it worked out fine, but I don't recommend layering Werkstatt Acrylic products over any wax; the bonding will be compromised, meaning durability will be low.

No worries Phil, wasn't being picky or off with you mate, just thinking of any newbies who might read it, try it and be dissapointed with results, so had to offer my view.
