So I can vouge for these:<a href="http://www.poorboysworld.com/" target="_blank">http://www.poorboysworld.com/</a>Juzstang can get you a good discount on this stuff, so check with him first.i'm using the poorboys site links for information:Juzstang: Obsessive Detal: <a href="http://www.obsessivedetail.com/polishesandswirlremovers.html" target="_blank">http://www.obsessivedetail.com/polishesandswirlremovers.html</a>you may want to look at one of his package deals.Wash, Get a good sudsy wash that doesn't strip the wax off:I like this: <a href="http://www.poorboysworld.com/super-slick.htm" target="_blank">http://www.poorboysworld.com/super-slick.htm</a>No more wash mitt's rags or whatever you may be useing.only microfiber or a detailer sponge should touch your car!Polish:Once washed, you'll want to polish the finish to remove swirl marks and small scratches.you'll want an orbital for this. you can start with a cheapo from auto zone or whatever.I burned one up, then bout the Porter cable, which works G R E A T.PB professional Polish:<a href="http://www.obsessivedetail.com/polishesandswirlremovers.html" target="_blank">http://www.obsessivedetail.com/polishesandswirlremovers.html</a>3M perfect it II is also a good all around use polishThe SSR line is pretty good but dusts, I'd try out the professional polish for starters.Wax:Then once polished, and wiped off, it's ready to wax!natty's is great.The EX sealer wax will last longer.<a href="http://www.poorboysworld.com/ex-sealant.htm" target="_blank">http://www.poorboysworld.com/ex-sealant.htm</a>this or EXP is a great sealer.you can also use a sealer wax, and put natty's on top of that for ultra shine.Spray and Gloss - spray wipe between waxes is my Freind! I've about used my 1 gallon bottle over the last few years.<a href="http://www.poorboysworld.com/spray-gloss.htm" target="_blank">http://www.poorboysworld.com/spray-gloss.htm</a>you'll definatly want this stuff. it works awsome on paint, glass and chrome.And I'll tell you what, this wheel cleaner works great on wheels and tires to remove: brake dust, and the tire spary grime on the tires etc.<a href="http://www.poorboysworld.com/spray-rinse.htm" target="_blank">http://www.poorboysworld.com/spray-rinse.htm</a>Other than that, you'll want the basic applicators, sponge or micro washer.Microfiber towells!!!!!  NEVER USE ANYTHING BUT THEM TO WIPE YOUR PAINT WITH!!a large waffle weave or 2 to dry the car, then a number of basic micros for application and wipe down.applicator for tire shine.brush for wheels/tires.You'll really see a difference when you detail your car like this and keep it polished and sealed up.beyond this, it's elbow grease, attention to detail, and learning how to put it down. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Have fun!!!Here's some detail threads I've done:<a href="http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=3480.0" target="_blank">http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=3480.0</a><a href="http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=4539.0" target="_blank">http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=4539.0</a>Detailed a bunch of cars that had overspray on them:<a href="http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=4539.0" target="_blank">http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=4539.0</a><a href="http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=10825.0" target="_blank">http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=10825.0</a></blockquote>
