Ultra-Fine vs Fine polishes and new paint...
So my buddy bought a new truck, its the Ford platinum tri-coat white. We've all heard that the new Ford clears are pretty thin so he wants to stay mild. The dealer didnt touch the paint, so it should be pretty good and with it being white, its pretty hard to see any swirls as it is regardless. With that being said I was thinking about using a paint cleanser but for the same amount of time, I should just use a Ultra Fine or a Fine polish...
I have HD polish+, Griots Boss perfecting cream and Optimum hyper polish now.
I did some research and looks like a lot of people say to use Prima Amigo or Menz SF4500 ( I think its called ) to remove light stuff and clean up the paint some. Again its white so I think something light would work best and not having to spend a lot of time on it...
Anyone have any suggestions on what to use?
What about the thought process against or for using something light as a better alternative since white only gets so good looking...?
Im using LC flat pads, so I have blue, gray/black and white... Suggestions on pad usage?

If this was my vehicle, with the paint
in the shape you described...
I would use a Cleaner/Sealant such as
...Meguiars #20 Polymer Sealant...
(on a blue LC flat pad)...and call it a day.

All three polishes are fine with a white polishing pad. What will you be using as your LSP?

One of the greats like colly 845, m37 HD sealant, WDGPS, ETC. Maybe even sonax PNS since it's white and if it streaks some, it'll be harder to see.

They are all good choices, flip a coin.

I work for a Ford dealer.
That White platinum tri-coat is a beautiful paint. (Hence the $595 extra for it).
I would think any reputable wax/sealant that we discuss here on AGO would make it "Pop".
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Thanks. Am I right about the clear being thin?

This I do not know.
I don't work as a detailer (or what dealers call "detailers") there.
Sorry, man.
