Look through the 'sticky' threads at the top.........

Using the right products to wash, clay, polish and wax/sealent with a machine polisher you'll get mirror finnish.

For mirror finishes you do need a machine polisher..

Very good results can be acheived as said above with good preparation, clay, good polish, wax..

There are so many products you can buy you kind of need to a bit of trial and error.. Have a look at some car detailing sites for the stuff you can get and the limiter is your wallet really..
