I'm gonna assume that you're a bit new to the serious-detailing thing, apologies if that's incorrect. Said assumption factors into my response. I'm trying to keep things simple and OTC as best I can, I could always get a *lot* more exotic with the product recommendations (the stuff *I* would use would be different).



wash with...Strong mix of Meg's Gold Class.

dewax a years layer of wax build up with...Don't bother.

clay...Mother's or ClayMagic.

buff/polish with... 1Z Paint Polish or Metallic Polish/white LC polishing pad.

wax with... Collinite 476S or 845, probably by hand on that car.

final coat..If anything, a quick pass with DuraGloss AW or just FK425.



I get 1Z products (and a lot of other stuff) at Aloha & Welcome to Our Oasis for All Your Auto Detailing Supplies & Accessories. There are a zillion other ways to go and plenty of them are just as good as the one I posted.
