I have a white iroc and have always used zymol.not the stuff you get at walmart.Try autodetail.com,or others and get the hand crafted wax,about $45.00.and get the HD cleanse to put o befre waxing.Or you can step up to the concours wax which is awesome for $120.I know people hear swear by zaino,this is just my opinon on a white car.Go to thier site(zymol.com)and check thier history.

I'll hop in with Chuck on the Zaino. It appears to work great on any color.

I knew if I searched, I'd find a post to answer my #1 question...will zaino enhance my white paint as much as I see it does for the darker colors? Looks like yes...

My1stCamaro, Ask TC what it does for white. It does help but it is hard to get depth to white paint.
