White is one of those colors that is hard to "show off" unless you really go at it. There is a guy here and I forget his name but he did a White Navigator and I swear it was the best white I have ever seen. I think he had multi coats of S100 topped on several other products.
Your fall back is to just use the standard procedure then modify it for what you want as you get the first one done.
Wash
Clay
Polish (various steps here pending paint condition)
Seal (optional)
Wax
Maintain.
do some reading, ask questions and we'll get you on your way to OCD fun.

I will just see the wager of what RR has already mentioned, and raise him a reccommendation:
Collinite Insulator Wax #845. GREAT on white. HINT: Thin coats. Ultra thin. Long lasting protection, looks great.
Email me if you want the sticky that is soon to be at the top of this page.

There you have it. this is a great thread and sorry you have to jump around to get the data.
The bar is set pretty high on Oxford White. Let us know how you want to take on your project.

SOOO glad I have it. That photo of my wife's hood from last week had one treatment of EX-P on it but topped with Nattys White.

Hmmm... I have been shopping around tonight... I have a few other goodies that I think I may snare soon... including some PB stuff... and a bunch from ADS... Xmas time in August!!!
What are your thoughts of each of the Trifecta? (ie: full description). I am beginning to get really interested in using Strawberry Red and wildberry Blue on the truck... But I want to know more... (and what can I name the white one??? Has to be tasty sounding, even though it doesnt have a smell...)
If you jumped on the DA, what day would it get here? (email)
