Default Products to use With White

Hi Guys

Today I Bought My Brand new car.

A white Mercedes C220CDI Sport....

Now I pick it up next week but I want to prepare for its delivery by getting some products. I want to seal it from new and wax or whatever i need to do.

I have some zymol and poorboys stuff but its all for dark cars.

Some help would be great

Cheers Guys.

Yes mate, you need to keep the panels suitibly lubed to allow the clay to move smoothly as if the panel is dry you will cause maring in the paint that will need to be polished out.
Any quick detailer will do..
