I disagree to some extent.....here's mine
Those were all done with the Menzerna Twins and a PC 7424, than followed with about 10 coats of Z2 Pro with a coat of Z6 in between than topped with Z8.
That's after just 1 coat of Mother's Carnuba Wax and Z8 before a show I was getting ready for. Notice the air hose reflection against the rear quarter in the last pic.
White may not have the depth of a darker/metallic color but if you prep it right and are willing to spend the time it takes you can still get some depth out of it. I put probably close to 15 hours in to detailing the exterior for those shots.

Ain't the greatest shot but it's all I got for now. Didn't do too much to it either. Just meguiar's clay bar, polish, and nxt wax.

Thank's for the compliments. I'll definately admit that there's a difference between keeping the way the exterior looks for a DD vs. a weekend/nice weather. Mine usually comes out 1-2 times a week depending on the weather.
