Holy crap, that's pretty. I just use the wax that comes with the little applicator and it looks pretty good. When I finish the body work, I'm going to try that 3 step out.

Do you buy it together, or do you snag the products seperatly? What do you guys use for applicators and the wiping rags?

If I remember correctly...

Its not the wax that makes the car shine, but the polish.

But no matter - GREAT JOB!

its three products but they say "step 1", "step 2", "step 3" on them...

the first one is a "paint cleaner", second is the polish, which makes it shiny, and the wax i guess protects the polish...?

theres also a spray thing you can use to wipe **** off the wax after it rains or whatever.

i use these applicator pads from zaino. they are just cotton towels wrapped around a sponge. and i have a few 100% cotton towels. for drying a just washed car, that cod oil thing is pretty amazing. leaf blower also helps a lot.

Is there a good write-up on the whole process? YOu're starting throw things in there like Cod Oil which I have no idea on how it helps with the shining process. I'd be interested in knowing how to get rid of the swirl marks as well. A couple of times I've ended up with light swirl marks that you can barely notice, but bug the crap out of me none-the-less.
