Talking White Don't Shine... (reflection pics)

I know it doesn't compare to black's ability to reflect, but considering this is a white car, I'm pretty happy with the Zaino results.





While it's tough to convey through pics,





the Ivory Pearl does have an incredible glow/shine to it that I love.




My 3 1/2 yr. old son likes the G way better than the big-block 1955 Chevy Bel Air street rod. Ditto!!






Feel free to add pics of your shine. All colors welcome (I do love some of those other options), but let's leave it at G's only.

Installed one for a few weeks when I had my nephew over... Pretty simple no issues, only thing is that the passenger seat has to be closer to the dash board.

Yeah I thought the same thing but after so many coats, I started to notice a difference. Parked mine next to a brand new IP G35 and noticed mine just had more of a shine. reflection was more clear if you know what I mean.

Honestly, his seat fits good and there is enough leg-room in the passenger seat for the wife to ride, if the whole family needs the car in a pinch.

I doubt that a rear-facing infant seat is going to leave much room for those up front, as they take so much space when backwards. We do also have a 3 week old, so it's something for me to consider, I suppose. I might have to switch sides if I ever need to haul them both. Once the infant seat can face forward, all should be fine.

I thought I'd take his seat out when not in use, but he likes to cruise with me often enough that it's better if it stays. Besides, now with the tint you can hardly tell it's sitting back there.

We've accelerated pretty hard and have taken a few turns, and he really loves it. He said "Wow, Dad! You're new car like a race car!" The exhaust note didn't hurt matters.

Here's a pic of my shiny IP coupe from HIN. I'll take some more of the reflection when it's clean again.

VERY NICE!!

See, it seems no matter how nice the pic, the IP always comes across as Championsip/Arctic White. I know your car must really dazzle in-person.

We all know black is the undistputed mirror-shine champ. But how often do you see white reflecting so well? VERY happy with the Zaino... ...especially considering the wash and polish took about 3 hours. With a new baby in the house (3 weeks old), waxing time is minimal, as you can imagine. So happy to be able to do so much in so little time. The G's new and deserves some attention too.

Both has its' +/- but a IP coupe is clearly eye catching day or night. It's too bad the '05s didn't have graphite interior so I had to go with good old black.

Yeah very eye catching, I have people stopping to admire my car all the time. Yeah black has a deep reflective shine but IP just dazzles night or day.
