Welcome, I suggest you visit http://www.bettercarcare.com/ and read about the basics, there are a lot of products that you can use to achieve great results... Technique is much more important than products.

 

[LouisanaJeeper]

You have a couple options, a few good system are

Meg's NXT, Klasse, Zaino, Poorboys



I suggest you look at the "click and brag" section and decide which products look the best (to you) on the cars in that section.



I perfer Zaino

Prepping the finish meticulously achieves the best results. Work the finish until you get the appearance qualities that you desire. Protect with almost any products you find reviewed here as LouisanaJeeper stated, that also maintains that look (wetness, depth, reflectivity, gloss, etc) you want.



Welcome to Autopia. :wavey

I agree with those who think that the best shine is obtained by technique, process, and effort.



Do the job correctly and you'll find most products are interchangable.

85% of the shine is achieved by preparation (wash, clay, polishes). 15% by the wax. That rule of thumb is what separates the autopian shine from others.



Clays- Clay Magic (blue), Meguiars, Mothers



Polishes- Einzett, Meguiars Pro line (DACP, Speed Glaze, Hand Polish, FCC for light scratches that DACP cant handle) Clearkote VM Hand Glaze, Klasse AIO



Waxes- NXT, Blitz wax, Mothers carnuba

 

[NEW AGAIN]

Good prep work as stated



These combos:

Clearkote vanilla hand glaze followed w/s100

Meguairs hand polish w/ NXT followed w/#16

Poorboy's Polish w/carnauba follwed w/EX



Leather: Lexol or Leatherique
