New member here.. trying to decide between these 2 color options.. I did see the polar white in my town and really like how bright it is.. How does the Designo white compare? In pictures it looks like a mat white..
While the Polar white is a nice basic enamel white, the Designo white is a 3-layer pearl-type finish with a white base covered with a coat having a small fleck and a final clear coat. In sunlight, Designo white glistens with a pearl-like effect. Here's a picture that gives a hint of what it looks like:
While Designo white is quite striking, it's a pain when you want to repair a rock chip. The touch-up paint provides all 3 paint layers, but it's impossible to apply them to when patching rock chips (at least it was for me). I could never get an "almost invislbe" rock-chip repair.
By contrast, the Polar white is a nice bright white that's nowhere near as striking as Designo white in the sunlight, but it's fairly easy to get an "almost invisible" rock-chip repair using the touch-up paint ... and, unfortunately, if you drive a car without PPF on our highways, you _will_ get rock chips -- regularly (I'm now getting reasonable at applying PPF <sigh>.
