Oh man...you are getting into an area of cars that can cost you almost as much money (and certainly more time) than performance stuff...

For starters, what do you use now? There is a lot that goes into making those cars look like that...you'll just have to trust me when I say it isn't one of those things where you make it look like that and it just stays that way. It is constant attention to detail...

You're most likely missing out on the proper prep work that really gets your finishing looking the way it should. The last step product only makes a marginal difference in appearance.

Wash
Claybar
Polish w/ abrasive and/or cleaner (removes swirls, oxidation, and minor blemishes)
Seal/wax

www.autopia-carcare.com/how-to.html is a good place to learn processes...don't focus too much on the product references.
