i use Meguiars NXT generation tech wax 2.0..it shines my red car up very nicely and makes the paint very slick so water runs off instantly. Smells delish too

make sure you use it in thin coats because it can be a pain in the butt to get it all off w/o leaving a haze if you use it heavily. but i'm happy with it

Hm, I appreciate the pictures Vita. But I got the Meguiars Cleaner Wax from my local Pepboys, and so tomorrow I'm going to buy the Meguiars Clay Bar Kit from them. Anyone have any tips about the clay bar kit from meguiars? It removes all the contaminents right? How often do I change it/knead it?

i knead it after each panel... might be a little excessive but better safe then sorry. I also check each time i dont see anything that will be obvious to putting a scratch on the car.

Liquid Glass is very, very good and the name does speak for it's self.
I wax once a month and polish twice a month ( Liquid Glass ) & As far as wax, I use Jax Wax. Though it's not necessary to wax after the Liquid Glass, I do. Liquid glass also works on your rims nicely. As far as smells, the liquid glass smells like mint tooth paste and jax wax smells a little bit like bananas. It's polish then wax. Polish makes a deeper shine and does protection but not as much as wax. Wax in most cases (should) go on top of the polish.

this is the only thing I will use. personally, I love how it works. theres a reason why its the most expensive wax that website has out of the 40 odd waxes. Im going to wash, claybar and wax mine saturday... ill post some pics for ya.
That's not a wax bro, that's a synthetic polymer sealant. I used to use a stuff called Finish First Polish, I actually think they're made by the same company and probably even rebadged product that's one in the same. I loved it except for the smell, had a very chemical smell to it but my goodness it had my Accord shining.
