As a proffesional Detailer, I gotta reccomend automagic bc1, bc2 and express wax.
I took my FB for a test run of my skills.....
Strip the grime with bc1(after a good wash)
Use bc2 Spread loosely around, and buff one to two passes, then spritz with water, buff until a shine develops. Then WASH the whole car top to bottom with a non waxing soap formula.
Then after a COMPLETE DRY!, I stress this because any amount of water will waste your effort. Spread Express wax with a shotzee buff, then hand finish with a microfiber towel!!!!!!!! Its the best, hands down, whether for show, or pleasure.

P21 = S100. Yet, S100 is way cheaper. I use it. It'll need at least 2 layers if you want ultimate result.
Yet, to my surprise, the better result can be found by wiping the car w/ water and splash of 'quick detail' spray. My friend did that when we wanna take pictures, and damn the car had even deeper color!!! I couldn't believe it.

two bucket solution wash, blue magic clay bar, poorboys ssr 2.5 polishing with lake country yellow pad with porter cable 7424 @ 5-6k rpm. paint cleaning with klasse all-in-one , sealant with poorboys ex-p times 3 layers (24 hr curing between each layer) and about to top with natty's blue.
the old 1993 original paint bang-a-bus MPV that was sold. almost the same steps but only 2 layers of meg's #26 yellow carnauaba wax because i ran out of good sealant...

^ bwahahhahah nice front liscense plate. You like megs products huh? I wasnt too impressed at all with them. I really liked liquid luster, pinniacle souverign, and blitz one grand products. I ddidnt htink any of the megs products really brought forth any depth in the paint just a good shine.

POORBOYS products all the way. Work really well with my porter cable rondom orbital! I would take a pic of my car, but I'm just too lazy, plus it is raining and my detail job would get wet. Sorry!

I would not use a cleaner wax, unless the paint was faded, it can scratch normal - non faded paint. A cleaner wax will remove a little paint everytime you use it, just use a straight wax if the paint is not faded.
I also like a straight carnuba only wax. For you guys that like p21 and s100 which I also think is the same - a straight carnuba wax, you will also like Harly wax, it is a straight carnuba wax as well. Been using it for years, but they no longer market it in stores which is a shame. You have to buy it direct from them:

I think it is every bit as good as p21 and s100. Its tough to beat the protection and shine of a straight carnuba wax.
