Polish/Wax
I just got done washing/cleaning/polishing my car completely yesterday. I used some water w/ car wash and then moved on to the Ice Liquid Clay Bar. After that, I used the synthetic polish from Ice which supposedly is more durable making it possible to skip the wax. When I looked at the car today, it looks nice and clean but not as glossy and shiney as I wanted. Would you suggest more polish? or maybe a coat of liquid wax?

What color is your car?
use NXT tech wax on a dark car....you'll never use anything else.

On the strength of the wax thread a few weeks ago, I tried the Black Magic stuff that Consumer Reports raved about.
When I went to the auto parts store, it was on sale...buy one get one free.
I opted for the liquid in the squeeze bottles, and love the stuff.
I have never seen a deeper shine, and the water beading is like Rain-X on your windshield.
It went on very smooth and easy, but never really dried to a powder that could easily be taken off. Instead, it remained a bit greasy feeling initially, but with a few flips of the polishing cloth, came off fine.
I've never felt such a slick surface on a car before, and if it holds up well, will be the only wax I use.
Also, I have found it hard to get a really deep, wet look on silver cars in the past. The stuff mde mine look hot.

I used Mothers Claybar and NXT wax the last time I waxed. Here are some pictures from late last fall after I had finished.
