Pearl White 3-Stage ~ Formula

Alright my car is almost 10yrs old. The paint is in great shape. I clay my car every yr so ithe paint surface is pretty smooth. But I'm about to clay it again this friday night. I want to get a nice shine and wet look out of my paint. And also a nice mirror finish. What should I use?

Thanks - Ray

Are you willing to order stuff online or do you want to get the products locally?

The first thing is the condition of the paint. Do you have any swirls or other imperfections in your finish?

Locally obtained products:
If your paint is in good shape (no swirls to polish out) I would get some Meguiars NXT (paste or liquid) or Meguiars #26 yellow wax. You could also put some Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze underneath either of those products for added wetness.
I had #7 + NXT on my pearl white last year and I thought it looked good. I definitely feel that the best look comes from online-only products though.

Locally, I second the Meguiar's hi-tech yellow #26 wax. I also think you should go with products ordered offline, but to each his own. I buff my car with a high speed buffer so that adds to the shine that I get, but I also highly recommend Klasse SG which I was very impressed with this season.

Menzerna FMJ all the way. Gives it almost a 3D look.
