F-White metallic and reflection

[dutchie01]

Now it could be me but this morning around 11.00 i saw it again! 

I am driving a 300 F-Sport in the color F-White. One could say this is rather white to say the least. If it is dirty it it is just white but when cleaned it can have an alarming effect..

Like this morning. Nice summers day, blue sky and the freshly cleaned Lexus baking in the sun. When walking towards the car with the sun behind me the reflection of the sunlight from the paint is so agressive i literally find it difficult to look at the car. I have to almost close my eyes or put sunglasses on. Could be my age ( 55) but i was wondering if others have seen a similar effect?

Could be an anti-theft system. Thieves get blinded before they reach the car.

It's your brains automatic defence mechanism that kicks in to protect your eyes because the car is so hot.

My 300h is Pearl White (Code #077), and therefore characteristically opalescent.   Viewed at a distance when parked in sunlight or

even under strip lighting in underground car-parks, the whiteness is quite accentuated but gradually becomes more attenuated as

you come closer.  I have grown appreciative of this feature in relation to most other white cars I see.

Its OK - not great TBH.

I prefer the arctic pearl and sonic white, they're much much better, both in terms of reflectivity and ability to change colour in different light
