I see you were having some Ford withdrawal symptoms and went looking for a blue oval to detail.

Having owned a white car for a number of years, I know how unrewarding it is to detail, but there is definitely a crispness evident after a good detail.

Not sure how your SO reacted, but my wife's standard response to a detail like this would have been "So what have you been doing for the last 9 hours?"

One of the things I used to do when I drove a white car was to look out for similar models in the parking lot when I went shopping and then making a point of parking next to it. Side by side comparison is the best way to emphasize the difference between a detailed and non-detailed white car.
