Pearlescent White

Inozetek Pearlescent White is a pearlescent white film from Inozetek's SuperGloss Pearlescent range, catalogued as PG028. Inozetek lists 5 other white shades, so it is worth seeing them side by side before you settle on one.

This is color change wrap vinyl from Inozetek's SuperGloss Pearlescent line. It resurfaces the car in a new color and can be removed later without touching the factory paint underneath, which is why wraps hold resale value in a way a respray does not. Vinyl changes how the car looks; it is not impact protection, so if you also want the paint shielded from rock chips, the same kind of color exists as color paint protection film at a higher price.

The pearlescent finish

Pearl pigment gives the color a shift in depth rather than a sparkle — the shade appears to change slightly as you walk around the car. It reads richest in soft, indirect light, which is most of the year here.

Living with white in the Pacific Northwest

White hides road film and light dust better than any other color and stays looking clean longest between washes. It shows tar and brake dust along the lower panels instead, which come off with a dedicated cleaner rather than pressure. Light colors are the most forgiving to keep looking clean between washes, which is worth real money in a climate that puts road film on a car within a day of rain.

Care: hand wash with a wrap-safe soap and a soft mitt, and dry the car rather than letting it air dry.
