I just went and got the following:

Meguiars Crystal Car Wash
3M Perfect-it II (for swirl marks, is it good?)
Lexol leather conditioner (any good?)
3 microfiber towels
3 terry cloth towels
Black Magic tire cleaner

All together cost me about $40 :(.....what kind of wax should I get....i have no PC for the 3M perfect it, so I tried a bit with my hand, it does work, it reduced swirl marks by about 30-40%, I think if I use a PC i can reduce them by like 80%.....is the stuff I got ok? Thanks.

sounds good, now all you need are zaino stuff. I hosed my car down today, and the water beaded and ran off the surface so fast you'd think the car was going 100mph.

Good start. If you're going to pepboys might as well pick up some Meguiar's #26 Yellow wax. You can do it all by hand, it'll just take time....

Nah....Put #26 on until you get as much of the scratches and swirls out.......After your done and you go "hmmmm, what else can I do to make it look better" THEN get S100 SEPC and Wax and then sit back....If you're doing it by hand, I figure you'll almost be out of #26 - in about 6 months - when you've got the car as sharp as you can. :biglaughb

Come on guys....gotta get him addicted to buying product....you're not done until you have to move things around on shelves to make room for all the car toys....

I try to stay away from my local Harley dealer as much as possible....Dont want to be associated with that in any way, shape of form.
