I have had great success with Mothers Powerpolish and an orange pad.

Buy a Porter Cable type of orbital polisher and some good APC interior cleaner. That with the stuff you currently have will get you going in the right direction.

archerwin-A few things I'd change:



Simple Green- I'd replace this with some other APC, maybe something from Meg's. There have been so many reports of finish damage (esp. aluminum) from Simple Green that I don't let it near any of my vehicles.



Wax- The DC#3 (that's Meguiar's, not Mother's ) is only so-so. I'd rather go with most any other wax in the Meguiar's lineup or even Mother's CA Gold.



Glaze: I *GREATLY* prefer Meg's #5 over IHG, no comparison IMO. The other Meg's "pure polishes" (#3/#7/#81/DC#2) would also, *IMO* be better than the IHG. Since doing a side-by-side with the #5 my IHG hasn't left the shelf.
