if ur paint is new or whatever, i'd bring it to a pro

nothing beats a nice high speed orbital wax job w/ good products like meguair's professional line

but if u wanna do it urself, like dood said up top, wash the car, use a 3 step system, cleaner, polish, wax. if ur paint is real dirty, then clay bar. meguairs, mothers i like, the real carnuba ----, i don't really f w/ the synthetic sealer products like zymol zaino and stuff

i mount maxi pads on an orbital buffer and use tampons for in the seams.


but on a serious note, wash then claybar then polish then wax. Or like mechatune said just take it to someone for a high speed polish.
