303 Speed Detailer, Blackfire Polymer Spray, FinishKare 425, or Chemical Guys V7 are quite nice and should not harm your sealant.

Had two customized white AMG 65's, one the wife's car 4 door due to the kids, the other a V12 Twin Turbo, in my shop this weekend, and both left with the owner(s) just blown away. I will let you figure out much he has wrapped in the two cars.
We washed, clayed and used Zaino Z-AIO with a Lake County Orange Pad, due it both cars being painted with Ceramiclear.
Then we followed up with two coats of Zaino Z-2, both topped by Zaino Z-8. The comments from the wife and husband... They look twice as good as when we bought them new.
Other customers picking up their cars also made comments about "Man, I had no idea white could pop like that. These cars look amazing."
Getting white to pop is all about the prep, not the final detail spray.

My Alpine White 335i looked like a different car after being clayed, polished with Menzerna products and finally sealed with Adam's liquid paint sealant. I think I spent more time claying than anything but after 5 years of previous ownership, it really needed it

If you live in industrial areas .... you will want to consider this prior to claying. Its amazing to see the metal contaminants on lighter colored cars !

I tried to talk him out of it, but to no avail. Gave him a very large price tag, and he was willing to go with it. Will take before an afters on that deal.
