So my GT is white, and no matter what I do it just doesn't reflect as well as any other car I see... I used to wax my car like once a week, with Meguiars, but now Im using Zaino, and it just doesn't reflect as well as I want...

Does white not reflect as well as the darker colors..? We have a 91 Firebird and that thing hasn't had a bath in over a year and its like a freaking mirror, and it's dark blue.... Meanwhile my car has 3 coats of Z-2 on it and it does reflect, just not nearly as much as the Firebird...

My Stepdad has a gold Sport Trac and that thing is a freaking mirror on wheels... Bah I'm jealous

Darker colors tend to appear more reflective. Hence the saying "black is a slick color, but way too hard to keep clean"

Yeah I agree.. I wash my Black GAGT every two days almost. I am not bashing any different colours then black but when black cars are clean there the best looking colour in my opinion

Jagey...?

I was looking at your N-Body registry and I was curious how the 12 inch Red Neons were installed under your dash..? Where did you hook it up to? Just give me all the info you can give me on them I think they look sweet when I see them. Thanks

For white, you may want to take a look at Pinnacle Paste Glaze. The best place to find it would be www.properautocare.com Also, take a look at Liquid Soverign. If you would like any more advice, please let me know!
