For a proper 3 step paint correction, you're looking at about 10 hours... This includes washing, claying, 3 steps of buffing, plus application of LSP. This is just exterior.

I went to buy a Z and said that of all the colors I only would refuse white because to me it was boring....then I saw it and think none other can compare! Gets my attention without shouting and its attractive in a very sophisticated, refined way! YA!!
I agree with you. Your pic in your avatar (also in this specific thread) is what helped me to get the white color. The contrast with the leaves in the background was just phenomenal. So thanks to you, I now own a PW!!!!
