Any tips tricks foresight, anything for this particular color. Sealants, waxes, polishes that work exceptionally well to get the pearl effect to pop more? Give it a wetter pearl look?

Mostly looking for tips specific to this color
Thanks to any and all

I have a pear white Ford Fusion (Platinum Tri Coat Metallic) and this is my method:
Wash
Iron X
Clay
PoorBoys White Diamond glaze (or correction, if you need it).
JetSeal 109 (two coats)
Wolfgang Fuzion.
I originally used DoDo's White Diamond wax, but that didn't make the Pearl pop like I wanted. Fuzion gave me the look that I was after.

I think I am one of those unfortunate souls who can't tell the difference between most high quality waxes. I have a Satin White Pearl WRX with Fuzion on one panel and Diamond White on the next and they look the same to me.

It might also be the way Ford does their Pearl, too. Fuzion seems to mute the white color and bring out the metallic quality of the paint while the DoDo didn't really make the Pearl pop.

I've never used SS2, so I'm not sure on the difference.

Here are some pictures. They are with the Dodo, as I don't have any shots, yet, with the Fuzion.

Hope these help!
 
I just used Rejex on my truck and it turned out nice, but I can't seem to make that metal flake pop. I was told the tri-coat painting process can yield different results on where and when it is sprayed. I'm in the midwest and a friend with same year and color bought his truck in California and his seems to have a more creamy color and more metallic in it.
 
I have a pearl white Escalade and LOVE Colonite on it. It's a DD, I get a great shine and a durable finish
 
in for more advice and opinions for my GPW AP2
 
i also used jet seal 109 from CG and 50/50 concours from them with some V07 and i was pretty impressed with the results
