For the paint...
DuraGloss Carwash
3M rubbing compound for grade 1250-1500 scratches,
3M Finishing Material
3M Finishing Glaze
3M Liquid Polish
(most of this I use a eletric buffer)

I use this degreaser called B52 Brown Bomber on my tires(they make white letters really shine)

What is that stuff like and is it easy to use? The Turtlewax Ice is extremely expensive and it does work great as an enhancer for my favorite wax Zymol. It is bone dry as soon as it hits the turtlewax ice well almost. It is bone dry in about 2 minutes.

Ive been using the Black Magic protects on all my cars for the past year or 2 ive had pretty good results. But it seems in the only one here who does use it.

Black Magic is a decent wax but it dulls the shine for some reason every time I use it on my truck. But I love the hell out of their wheel cleaners and tire gels/sprays. And their interior stuff is good too. here's one brand of wax that I miss and that's RAINX ULTRA WAX. I can't find it but can get the carwash. go to this link if you want some good stuff: www.zymol.com . That's the absolute best you can get period.
