White is a very hard color to get the gloss to really stand out. I find that using a coating (like Wolfgang Uber) is a notable choice. If you prefer a wax, Pinnacle Souveran Liquid Wax is gorgeous on white.

Please note, no wax, sealant, or coating can do its best without first prepping paint. So also consider the steps needed, like polishing or cleaning paint, to see the best results.

PM me if you need additional help and hints. Autogeek, which to whom I represent, offers many great products to help you. Best part ...they are also a South Florida based company in Stuart. We offer detailing classes and other options as wanted to keep your new stingray looking good and envy of the neighborhood.

Don't forget to clay, even though it's a new car 9 times out of 10 it needs clayed.
BTW Congrats!!

C-Magic and Lemon Pledge. I no longer have my C5, but that combination worked well for me at car shows for many years.

I recently used Wolfgang 3.0 sealer and Pinnacle Souveran paste wax on an Arctic White C-6 after an intensive correction process and it turned out flawless.The correction is the key to any shine.

Just did 2016 white Z51 with Pinnacle Souveran Liquid after minimal paint correction shine is amazing. Best product I have used on white, Works better on white than the Pinnacle Souveran Paste wax. But nothing beats Pinnacle Souveran Paste wax on Black. Also waxed our black 2016 Z06 last weekend after claying and polishing it looks like a pool of black.

Not a wax but 22ple Pro Glass sealant is amazing. Again, a perfect paint correction is necessary.
