Default Mothers or Maguires?

To the serious car care guys out there, which do you recommend for the pony, I've always been very satisfied with mothers and maguires but i'm bent on which one I should stick with. My advantage is that I will have time to wax her every week to buid a shine.

Not to throw the topic off, no expert here, but wouldn't too much waxing (rubbing a shiny surface) dull the surface over time? You guys use a power waxer? Also interested in which of these waxes to use!

Dare,

When I owned my first car, I used to wash and wax it every week. Let me tell you, after a while the shine on that car was incredible and made it that much easier to wash.

Before you get all serious about the shine on the car, are you going to clay bar it? Better yet, do you need to?
On mine, it is going to be a must. I have never seen so much trash in a paint job that was done by a factory. In fact, the cleaner it is, the worse it looks. Not so much on the sides, but the hood and the trunk lid are pathetic.

How good can a paint job be on a car that starts at $20k? That's why I'm like, woh, overkill on the waxin here. :P

I agree - the clay brick is much more important than any number of waxes! My GT looked much brighter after the clay, and is easier to keep clean ever since.
