You're pretty much going to have to try stuff out on your own because everyone likes different things.
I use meguiar's wax, polish, and cleaners. Then 303 on the dash and tires and stoner's on the windows. I'll probably try NXT window cleaner soon because I hear it's excellent.
Don't believe me on the meguair's for your paint? Check out the black SL55 at the bottom of this thread:
Everyone has their own opinions. Personally, I use Nano wax, ArmorAll for the interior, Westley's Bleche-Wite tire cleaner(good stuff), TurtleWax chrome polish for my exhaust tips, usually just use Windex on the windows.

Yeah, sure that SL55 looks great, but its not like they just hand-applied some wax, then buffed it off....
They washed it, clayed it, polished it, and waxed it. Which is what everyone should do anyway (not to say that you have to do that whenever you would normally wax). Yes, you get a better result from a DA polisher, but polishing by hand still does a great job. It's just a lot more work and the results are a level lower. It still comes down to the products doing their job.

they also color sanded it and buffed with multiple polishes, which is not something the average person should be attempting.
You're right. The average person shouldn't be color sanding or using a rotary buffer. They used an agressive polish to take out the sanding marks then used #80 to get out all the smaller scratches and swirls. The average person also shouldn't be trying to get a show car shine on a street car. You have to settle at some point.
If someone on here used scratch-x by hand and then waxed I'm sure they would be extremely pleased with the results. I went to the meguair's class up in PA and we divided a black swirled hood into 4 sections. One was left alone, one was scratch-x by hand, one was #80 by DA polisher, and the last was polished with a rotary. Each section looked better than the last, but even the by hand section was leaps and bounds above the original section.
Had to be evacuated Monday again after a fire was going on the hill behind us. Only 3-4 hours, they did a good job getting it under control. Especially...
Up for sale is my 2001 Chevrolet Camaro 3.8 in need of some TLC and help. I’ve owned this vehicle the past 18 years (since 2006) and it’s been very...
