Okay then if your up on you knowledge and have a decent idea of proper wash techniques and what order to carry out decontamination and stuff then i won't bore you with all that

As with most things its all in the preparation of the paint, having a good clean base will determine the final quality of the finish.

Luckily whites and silvers tend to hide swirling quite well so if your not that bothered by that then all your gonna need is a nice clean surface so De-tar/Di-Iron and a good claying

Once thats sorted you have to decide what route you wanna go LSP wise as some of the sealants have there own specific cleaners etc IMO sealants work best on whites and silvers so id go down that route.

now you've got the Zanio system which i love tbh so easy to use you'll need Zaio All in one to prep the paint, followed by Z-2 which is the sealant then Z-8 to boost the gloss and Z-6 to keep things looking tip top

Theres the werkstat sealants which are highly rated and very easy to use

Autofinesse have a cracking range by all accounts, tough coat and tripple or Rejuvanate are the ones to go for..

or if you want a Wax then again a good pre wax cleaner is a must, Dodo juice lime prime or Prima Amigo are very good! then as for the wax take your pick really there so many out there just depends on your price range really.
