Well the first time you do the whole process it takes all damn day lol. After that its just maintence. I just hose my car off now I dont need to wash it because the dirt can't really cling to the car anymore. Even the front of the car is always spotless its great.

Yeah when I got it from the shipping hub in NJ (shipped from south coast in cali) It was god awful. There was a terrible amount of engraved dirt, bird ****, and stuff i dont even know what it was, nuclear fall out or something. I dont know what route the truck took but it was pretty gross. It took like 3 hours of claybaring to get it all out. The car looked like it was a dalmation or something with all the black dots all over it.

WW can shine, but it doesn't reflect well just because it is white. It shines in person when nicely detailed but is hard to capture on a camera. Heres what a real good reflection looks like on beauty colors like black and red.

Yes your definatly right. The pictures dont do it much justice because, like you said, it is hard to capture on a camera. There is reflection as you can see. You see it most on the carbon fiber wing obviously. The red audi look beautiful.

If you wanted a shiney car, you should have got a black evo. White looks the same no matter what you do to it.

Bull.

If you think washing a white car with a basic car wash soap and throwing on a coat of nu-finish looks the same as someone doing a wash, claybar, polish, glaze, sealant, wax, and quick detailer combo, you're delusional.

White may have different properties than other colors, but there's still a difference between someone doing a half-assed job and a person who really cares about their car's appearance.

Plus, white can have subtle variations depending on what products and processes you use.

Go spend some time over on Autopia before making any more ridiculous statements.

no wax needed to make WW shine...i wish i had some pictures for you guys. i applied some paint sealant...its much better then wax imo. no oily residue, no dust right away...but its incredibly smooth to the touch and makes it shine like no other
