What do you guys recommend for me to wax my car?
My car is gray and the paint is kinda crappy (back bumper, quarter panel on the back-right).
I've never waxed or polished or rubbing compound'd my car. Help.

I use Zaino and absolutely love the results. I will try and post a picture tomorrow of my 11 yr old black paint after using it. It's expensive at first but it lasts for awhile and is cheaper than going and getting your car washed

I use Ult. Compound for specific areas that have scuffing, swirling, or paint transfer removal. To Ult Compound the entire car will take a while.
I use almost all Meguairs Products, the biggest thing is washing the car right, clay bar and some paint correction is a good thing. Then for bringing some life back into the car use Show Car Glaze #7, remove and top with NXT 2.0 or Ultimate Wax (very similar products), and lastly with some #26 Hi tech Yellow.
After curing a good inbetween wax is Meg's Ultimate Quick Wax.
Meg's Compound Before/After in one pic. Done with a terry cloth and moderate passion. Notice how the swirl marks stop on the right.

The only issue is with a shop is if they are not good with the buffer, they WILL f*ck up your car, no business around here use Orbitals, even though its safer, they are trying to make money and time and unless you know the guy.
I dont trust.
So I got my own rotary.

I also have a small pot of swissvax coming to me shortly. That will be for more high end stuff along with for my own personal use (when requested by customers to make them feel all good inside)

Man you must have some hobo ran detail shops in your area lol,I have 3 in my area that are great,now for one is they mess up your paint they fix it,use to work in a detail shop and trust me any shops insurance gets used.the shops in my area are not cheap by any means but you get what you pay for.figure if your car needs love and you don't have skills in this area would be best to have someone do it,instead of just getting a machine and going to town

I'd follow up UC with M205 on a black or white pad if it were me.
If you're wanting an OTC product, maybe try swirl X or something like that to remove the small marring and "baby swirls" out.
