Hey guys so since ive had my car I hate to say but I havent taken great care of it.
Its an 05 stone white srt4 with the pearl blue stripes.
Overall the paints in great shape with a few flaws. However the paint doesnt feel "slick" IE when I dry the car it has a dry feeling. I know obviosuly it needs a good claying but whats a good product guide for a white car to bring out the shine. Ive always used OTC polishs and waxs so im ready to try something new.

Thanks in advance guys!
 
Claying will bring that smooth feeling back. As far as polishing.....Are you planning on using a machine and if so then what type?

Menzerna power/super finish works well with a fairly long working time and great results. Possibly check into Meguiars 105/205 but the 105 can be a bit tricky to work with until you get the hang of it. Collinite 845 is my usual topper for whites, looks awesome and has great durability. Hope this helps.

He is right.
If you don't have product yet I would talk to Steve at Poorboys. He could set you up with pad and product that transitions with great results.
I've used them in some write ups here.
Great customer service too.
