Well, my '99 was a white SuperCab. I tried several different products, and choose Zaino in the end. If I had one now, I would probably go with Platinums UPP. It seems that the synthetics like Zaino, Klasse, BlackFire, and UPP give the white a clearer, wetter, more reflective look than carnauba's, and that makes the white stand out a little more.

Equally important, is to get the paint cleaned and polished before apply any waxes/sealants, as the paint prep is the key.

Hope this helps.

Boss speaks nothing but the truth on paint prep. This is, by far and away, the most important step in waxxing your truck.

Spend a good amount of time on prep and you'll end up with a final product that looks better than anything you could just do with a quick wash and wax. Trust me. It'll make a BIG difference.
