[flamesuit]
I know this has been posted many times before, and I did search and read quite a few threads on car care products. However, most of them were pretty old, and there are a lot of new faces around that might have some input.
[/flamesuit]
So, what do you use? I'm about to go buy a soap, polish, wax, and some cloths, maybe a chamois. My car is very dirty, and the paint is in lousy shape. I try to keep in waxed, but after 10 years, you can only do so much. I plan on polishing off the old wax and crap, and then re-wax the whole thing. I'll probably do one panel at a time so I'm sure to have enough time to really do each one right. Any reccommendations on products/techniques?

I'm a hardcore Liquid Glass believer. Very easy to use and an unmatched deep shine.
I recently picked up a bottle of Mothers FX Synwax and was very pleased with it. It was pretty effortless to use and looked great.

I am very involved in the car show circuit in my area, with my club even hosting a few shows and the most frequently used wax i see if meguiar's gold class. It's nice. I am open to suggestions however. I love my paint looking like glass

Agree'd I love my nanowax  But take ur damn time while putting it on. Also get a clay bar system if your going to take all the wax off... You can usually find it at Auto Zone for 15 bucks
