Most people don't seem to like the color specific waxes from Zymol, so any of the usual Klasse, Blitz, S100/P21s, etc. etc. recommendations will work. There might be some out of that group that are better for white though...check out http://www.autopia.org and search around.

I personally like Meguiars #26 on my Arctic Pearl White; gives it a very wet, shimmering look. A lot of wax selection comes down to personal preference, ie ease of use, durability, clarity, depth, price, etc...
You'll get much better results with proper paint prep (defect removal/polishing) and a cheap wax than bad paint prep and a high dollar wax. Check out the forums at www.autopia.org or www.detailcity.com Both have excellent information on proper paint care from very experienced detailers.

Well I tried Zymol.... uh, Hated it.... That's just me. I liked the meguir's Gold class better.... until I found Zaino... Oh this stuff is fantastic. Synthetic, and u can put multiple coats on. First 3 is for protection and after that u start getting that depthness to it. Love it. WOuld suggest it to anyone. You put it on everything but textured stuff. Put it on my windshield, drove to St. Louis in the rain and didnt even have to use the wipers. Last forever too.

i use Meguiar's Gold Class liquid wax and Meguiar's #7 Show Car glaze, it really makes the pearl pop.
