Hi all, i've heard this stuff is specially formulated for dark colour paints but will it still be ok for use on Alpine White? I've got a full bottle of the stuff in the garage so plan on using it today... if it's not going to knack my paint :roll:

I cant imagine it will knack your paint, just may not give such a deep shine, but i am no expert, others will be along soon :)

What coulour is it? If it is colourless or just white/grey I shouldnt imagine it would hurt, but I would test it somewhere inconspicuous first like the spare wheel well.

I keep looking at ours thinking I will have to polish her, I am afraid the poor thing only gets petrol station jet wash wax at the moment!

I use it on my alpine paint and it's great. just because its specially formulated for dark colours does not mean it's only for dark colours.

I can only echo B7, use it all the time on my (partial) alpine white paint. I think it gives a fantastic shine. Certainly wont mark your paint work.

I use ultra deepshine on my brightred as well and then use the high resin finish (gold label Image
bottle) and it looks just great :drive:

when i used to be a preper for a body shop near to me they used all trade products and the wax was pink and if you put to much on it can stain the paint on a white car
