Wow - lots of info. Detailing/products/techniques have changed in the last few years. I had a Black C5 - started with the entire Zaino line - loved it at the time. I've tried most sealers/waxes, etc.

Black (dark & Red) cars show the best properties of such products. But now I have a WHITE C6. Not much info on White cars (funny how 1/4th of all cars are usually White). White won't show a mile deep Gloss or the mirror reflection of a Black car, but still it can shine like a diamond and have an illusion of WET Glass look! Does anyone have info on the best balanced Ceramic coating for a WHITE car? I am looking for the extreme brightness in the White and wet-glass look. I am considering Carpro 110 original (not UK) and top it with Reload.

Your view/comments are appreciated

For white, user Ronkh is the master; has a white Z06 that will absolutely burn your retinas with sharp, glossy paint. It's positively unreal...PM him here or over on Autopia forums.

There's some other masters of white over on Autopia. What they can do with white paint is unbelievable.
