Good wax for white

I am looking for a good wax for the evo. I have never owned a white car before and was wondering what people suggested. I am sure it is a lot easier than my black car but I just wanted to see what people found worked well.

Suggestions on polish and quick detail also appreciated.

Thanks for your suggestions.

-Mike

Thanks for all the input guys.

I am not a huge fan of Zaino and I definitely want to avoid mothers. I have never had great luck with Mothers carnauba, it looks great if you get it off before it drys but it is kinda hard to judge. Then again i am not the best detailer.

I use zaino myself. Combine that with their flash cure activator and you can apply up to the 3 coats.

wow why would u wanna use zaino on a white car? the color has no dept in the first place ur semi wasting it. i mean yes u can use it ofcourse but its not really worth the money and time. any decent off-the-self-wax will more then suffice. on my black evo or my old black supra, 2 or 3 coats of zaino would make it look wet for weeks!

I use Zaimol with the turtle wax ice between waxings to keep the shine up, but its not the easiest to apply.
