Any good advice in polishing car?

like what good wax to buy? do i need those automated machine to have good results? How often do you ppl polish your car?

I know you must wash the car before applying the wax or whatever polish material, I could understand professionals can do a better job than DIY, but I sure a lot of ppl enjoy to polish their cars, thanks

I've been using Nu-finish paste. Minimal/no buffing required. Wipe on/wipe off.

I only have to do it once a year.

Simply said.

Polish -> Fills scratchs and swirrl marks.

Wax -> Goes above polish to seal in the polishing filler compounds.

So you first polish, then you wax

Zaino everything. Go to their website, get their whole package. Unbelievable shine. If you want even an extra layer of protection top it off with a good wax (Mothers) as Zaino is still a sealant.
