I have always keep my car waxed, and shine/ protect trim pieces/interior etc.

My question is what products/ techniques should I be using for the best possible shine and protection. Any tips/advice on clay bars, paint cleaner, polish, wax ,etc would be apprecaited.

 

The prep work is the key into getting the best shine,clarity,depth,reflection, etc. First off start out by claybarring. This will remove all of the hidden contaminants. A huge key into getting the paint at its best is removing swirls and scratches. You will need a high speed polisher to achieve this. The Porter Cable 7424 polisher is highly recommended and you can get awesome results without having to worry about burning your paint.

After you remove the swirls/scratches a glaze can be added to get more depth and wetness. Now you can apply a sealant or a carnauba.

Everyone has the brand of products that works best for them. Some work better than others and are easier to use.

I carry high end products that are easy on and easy off with no residue. Many of my customers have been really happy with the results of the products that I carry. Check out my Obsessive Detail line of products.
My Obsessive Detail Power Pack has been a big hit. It comes with a 4 oz claybar, Fast Shine Quick Detailer, Waterless Wash + Carnauba, Light Polish, Wet Glaze, Wet Wax, and 3 of my Ultra Premium Microfiber towels. I also have Porter Cable kits that has everything you need to polish and do swirl removal. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

BTW- check out the Customer Rides section of my website to see what my products look like on different colored cars.
