check out properautocare.com or autogeek.net

do a search on them aswell, you will find alot of posts about them and why they work so well. I highly recommend Menzerna and a Porter Cable Dual Action (Orbital) Polisher, with a velcro backing plate.
Menzerna will remove the swirl marks (when used with the PC) then you can use Wolfgang (I love it), or Zaino. Zaino without the Menzerna steps will only hide the swirls, as it has no abrasives. I have not used Zaino, but as you see above there are tons of people who love the stuff. I will probably try it out sometime in the near future, but I'm still working with the Menzerna Twins and the PC to get the paint to perfection before I go trying multiple products. The wolfgang makes an amazingly slick finish. Don't have to worry about water spots either, a little quick detail (even after being in the sun for hours) and they will go away. The stuff is GREAT!

Also, PM me and I'll give you a discount for autogeek....

The best place to learn and figure out what is best for you is www.autopia.org.

I just finished using the Menzerna twins and the Wolfgang twins on my car today. It's pretty cloudy, so I couldn't get the best pictures.

Here's a preview:



I also use Zaino. It really just depends on what your personal preference is. Zaino has more shine (sometimes plasticy), but Wolfgang is much deeper/warmer.

Learn how to properly prep your paint before using any type of sealant or wax.

Another Zaino user here. Best to me I ever tried in 35 years of doing my cars and trying dozens of products.

yellowbird - the menzerna (polishing step) is a must. What you choose to follow it up/seal it with isn't so much of a critical choice. Wolfgang, Zaino, Blackfire, Pinnacle are all good sealants/waxes. What's most important is your prep as ZaneO stated.

www.properautocare.com , www.autogeek.net are some good detailing supply vendors.

Zane - the car looks great, thanks for posting the pic

I've never heard anything bad about them. I mean hell its one of their products, I would have been ok if they would have offered to send a replacement incase their was a defective micro (odd sounding isnt it?) Hell I spend around 275 or 300 with them, whats a 5 buck towel to them?? Oh well...
