Default White paint

Going to try and do some detailing over the winter. Is there any product that will do much for white? Car is a c7Z. I'm going to do some research about correction but I'm curious if I can get a better finish after.

Absolutely you can get your white to pop.
Have you ever clayed and polished?
Watch this polishing video and let me know if you have any questions.

I have seen multiple white vehicles that benefited tremendously from the high gloss associated with ceramic coatings. That said, you do need to follow each step in car care including correction to get the most from any finish.

I have clayed and polished past cars. This one feels clean and being white makes the swirls almost impossible to find. In my garage with a shop like I have to try very hard to find any. Car only has 1500 miles on it.

An LED flash light will let you see the swirls easily.

You can use the baggie test to check for possible claying needs.
