    Make Pearl White even better... Possible?

    So I have a 2010 Acura TSX in Premium White Pearl. I know white yields less gains in gloss and depth of reflection than black does when polishing, but I swear I could end with M105 or Menzerna SIP1500 and look fine. In fact, going to M205 on a black pad looks no different than M105 on an orange pad to me. I'm using a DA.

    My question is: Am I doing something or is this simply the nature of white paint?

    Thanks,
    Connor

    I'd say it's probably just the nature of YOUR white paint.

    I think if you clay and fine polish, then add a glaze or wax then you will be able to see the depth of shine. I too have a Pearl White and it is impossible to see any miniscule minor swirls, you need to park it next to a black car with swirls to see the difference in full sun, something like a black Mercedes because the owner always gets the "swirl team" to wash it at the dealership.
