Default Post-deployment paint work!

Hi all. I get back home from Iraq next week, and my car has been sitting outside for a year. I am planning on spending a couple of days working on the paint, getting it all shined up like new again. I want to do a claybar, polish, and wax. What products are the best to use? I've used Maguire's claybar before and was impressed, but what polishes and waxes are the best for getting the paint and clearcoat looking showroom?

I always hear good stuff about Zaino, but it seems like a pain in the *** to apply and buff out. I want to get my car looking spectacular, but I don't want to leave my wife stranded all day while I gawk over my car! I hear good thing about 3M too, so I'll probably use that polish.
