I'd like to do a detail on wife's 2011 Fusion, Pearl White. The paint is in excellent, shiny condition, and has been sealed previously. The car is kept clean and garaged. My goal is to add depth to the color and shine, and add long lasting protection. It's my first detail on a white pearl and I'd like to do it correctly, so your help is appreciated.

I have a Porter Cable 7424, and also don't mind hand application, so I'd prefer to buy products that can be used either way.

Is the following product selection optimal for Pearl White after claying?

- Professional Polish for pre-cleaning
- White Diamond (is it necessary, and how will it help)
- EX Sealant

Many thanks for your advice and suggestions!

White Diamond is not required, but it will help with adding depth and wetness to the finish.
After defect removal with ProPolish ( and the required pad ) take 1 more final polish with ProPolish and a blue pad.
Next White Diamond at speed 3 to 4 ( work it in like polish )

EX ( 2 thin coats ), let stand 12 to 24 hours ( I usually go 24 ) and do another 2 thin coats of EX.

If you want to : start layering
White Diamond by hand ( or PC at speed 1, too fast and it will start to remove the EX.

Natty's Red

I usually go with 24 hour intervals on the layering steps ( White Diamond - Natty's red ).

As promised, here are some pics after using Pro Polish, White Diamond , and EX Sealant. Remember I'm a noob, so go easy on me, OK? All of the products were extremely easy to use, and delivered desired results. The white pearlescent paint really sparkles with lots of colors now.

Poorboy's has made me a "believer". My older products in the garage went out with the trash.
