i use P21S its the easiest and best stuff ive used.

here is a link:

wax: http://www.properautocare.com/p21spastewax.html

polish: http://www.properautocare.com/p2paincleanl.html

the steps are wash, polish, wax.

polish usually takes the wax off the car. it also gets all the crap that washing didnt get.

There is no one answer. There are many different waxes to choose from. First decide what type of wax you want and what your goals are. Read up a little on the catagories of waxes HERE.

Carnaubas are fine but I use a Polymer sealant because I want more durability.

And if you are going to wash and wax you need the proper tools. (applicators, mitts, drying towels and polishing microfibers) otherwise you will cause scratches and swirls in your paint right from the beginning. READ Up!:smile:
