Trofeo (Trophy) White Tri-Coat Giulia Owners Picture Thread

Hi guys,

I'm over here from the Stelvio sister page and must say, these pictures have me questioning whether Giulia would have been the way to go!

I have a Stelvio on order in Trofeo White and wanted to ask you all your experience of waxing/detailing your Trofeos. I'm conscious of the semi-matte kinda finish and wonder if wax is a good idea/should be used?

Mine has Xpel and Ceramic Pro over the whole thing, so no wax. I was told that tri-coat paints chip easily.

One "issue" with the tri-coat is that the plastic parts get a slightly different paint (some additive to improve flexibility?) that causes a color mismatch. Depending on the angle and color of the light this mismatch can be invisible or fairly significant. It is similar to the point that the "sparkle" in the paint is visible under some lighting conditions, but not others.
 
Is the left side of the trunk lid a little crooked? Your car seems to have similar fitment and color flaws to mine.

Are we going to start a Pearl White thread for the 2020s?
