2007 Santa Fe

I pulled the trigger traded in a 2000 Merc. Mt'eer for a '07 Hyundai Santa Fe.
Very nice vehilce, lots of extra stuff and priced right. But that's another story.
I just finished claying, and one application of AIO. Next the other half of the twin.
The paint, is a white pearl which is metallic. I don't have any experience with white metallic paint. Is there anything I should be aware of??
Also, would you recommend 303 for the dash. It's looks like a different kind of material than what was on the Merc. and my Miata.
Thanks for any hints..

is this a new car? did it really need to be clayed? i would just have used a simple wax/paint cleaner than nxt or SG it.

Yes... The Santa Fe is new. Drove it off the deal's lot with less than 50 miles on the clock.
I gave the paint the plastic bag test and I wasn't at all smooth.
After the clay job it was as smooth as a babies ****.
