How well does Tropi-care and Zaino work on a white car?

I will probably be shot for this, but when I owned a white van, I used Clorox 2 to wash it then would apply wax and, man that white was white. You are very lucky, white is sooooo easy to take care of (I have 3 black cars now and want to commit suicide)
If you have Zaino, use it, it will work great

Yeah, you'll want to use something that has a very bright shine to it...Zaino is prolly your best bet, unless you want to use a carnuba wax (and I'd recommend P21S for that). Better yet, you could use both...Zaino on the bottom, and layer the P21S on top of that...it would look pretty good.

I wish my car was white at times :(

I use Zaino and it looks AWWWEESSSOOOMMMMEEE on my wife's white GTP. It looks great in the daytime, but it literally glows at night under our streetlight.

Yeah, I use Zaino on my SS and it is a very bright white during daylight. It'll almost blind you to look at it. My wife saw me yesterday at a red light maybe 1/4 mile away and said it definitely stands out.

I love white :cool:

Thanks for the feedback. I used the Meguiars Gold Class, and it did the job pretty well, but I was looking for something that made the car brilliant white.

I did a white STI awhile ago and we took pics I don't have them on my comp but I'll send them as soon as I get them tonight.

The white really doesn't show up good in pictures.

Here is a combo of Zaino and S100 that I have. I use to be a zainoholic, but I tried S100 and loved the shine. The problem was, S100 on lasts about 2 weeks tops. SO I put down about 12 coats of Z2 down (after prepping the surface of course) Incase I fell back on S100ing, for protection. The S100 reflects colors off the paint MUCH better than Zaino alone, but Zaino protects much better.

If you would like some more pics, I could produce them. Also, the car IS white.
