    +1000 on clay to get rid of any surface contaminants. And I would ditch the Turtle wax crap... Splurge and buy your self McGuires car wash, some of their Show Car glaze, and a good carnuba. Now if you really want to get shine, I would recommend Klasse sealer glaze, which is a synthetic and lasts for ever, and can also be topped with a carnuba for an extreme shine. If you don't believe me about Klasse, just look at the shine on this truck.

    **Note. While I wasn't applying Klasse in this video, the truck still had a coat from the spring.**

    btw. I forgot, if you have any swirls/scratches get your self a decent polisher and some quality swirl remover. Preferably the least abrasive that will do what you need. Mainly because compound and polish is like sand paper, if you use a really abrasive compund/polish then you have to work your way from most abrasive to least abrasive.

    Haha. Its Meguiar's, McGuire was the roidraged baseball player.

    BTW when's the last time you cleaned that pad?

    DA polishers are very nice to have, especially for waxing. they cant do very much paint correction, but enough to get of swirls and make a nice shine.
    good deals on polishers, pads, and such

    Ive got the G110 express package.
    Keep that meat ice cold.
