Default White Paint Care

What would you recommend to take care of a 2007 Mustang with Performance White clearcoat? I like lots of shine.

Have you claybarred the car yet? If not, I highly recommend doing that to get all of the embedded contaminants out of the paint. Next I would use a polish to clean the paint and bring out more shine and reflection. Now you can add a glaze to give the paint a wet and deep look, the glaze will also leave your paint feeling really slick. Lastly I would top with a sealant to really make your white paint pop. Here are the products that I would go with in order:

Wash
Claybar
Obsessive Detail Light Polish
Wet Glaze
Hyper Shine Sealant

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

I'll give a 10% discount. The only way for me to give the 10% is if you can Paypal me directly, my website doesn't accept discount codes. If you don't have a Paypal account I can throw in something free to equal the discount. Just let me know.

is there a reason you recommended those certain products to a white car or would you just suggest those to any color?

I prefter those products for lighter colored paints.A sealant adds a lot of brightness,gloss, and reflection to lighter colored vehicles. The glaze will really make the paint look deep and wet.

You don't really need to use a wax if you are using a sealant. A sealant is actually adds more protection than a wax too. If you do prefer to use a wax it will go after the sealant. Sealants can be layered over each other but they can't be put on over a wax because it won't bond right. A wax will go over a sealant with no problem.

Sealants are starting to get more popular. Sealants are more durable than a wax but lack the depth and wetness of wax, this is why a lot of people like to top sealants with a wax to get the best of both worlds.
I think if you add my acrylic glaze before the sealant you will get the wetness and depth you need without having to top it with a wax. A sealant is just as easy to use as a wax too, my sealant goes on easy and comes off easy with no residue. So do my polishes, glazes, and waxes.
