BTW, is it non-metalic white or pearl-white?
The reason is that Zaino gives you that "hard-candy" shell looks, great if you have non-metalic car since you don't need the depth just glossy. Zymol/Swissvax gives you "silverish" hue that darken the color under the sun(people calls this warmer hue) and gives depth which bring the metalic flakes alive.

Also you need to wipe-off the excess, North-South or it'll smear from the earth magnetic flux.

There's a lot to this too, so if you're curious just ask.

prep is KEY. A perfectly prepped surface is 90% of the looks, no kidding.

I always say 90% is the prep, 5% is wax and other 5% is skills.
I would use Zaino on white, SV or Zym0l will just wasting your money.
