First Wax job - need advice

[SHADOW]

I bought my '94 in September, had it professionally detailed once, now I am going to wax for the first time myself. Of course I've taken great care of my past cars, but I want to get everything right, specifically my snake is black, and I want to also incorporate some swirl removal product. I know that this is a general question, and the answers are infinite, but can someone outline what has been working for them, please include product, applicators, finishing materials, etc. Really looking forward to some great tips. Thanks.

Dave.

Start out by reading this thread that has been running the last few weeks:

I used the NXT wax and found that it worked great and removed swirls. I have used the detailing wax afterward and have not had any serious problems with dust or pollen.

This will get you rolling . . .

Plus the porter cable random buffer is a favorite also. Here's a deal on the porter cable:

Work the bottom of the side sills and under the rear of the car. If these are neglected because you can see them you may not be able to clean the later.

What color is your snake? For red or black, nothing beats pinnacle souveran. I used their sizzling shine kit and got amazing results on my red RT/10 - the car literally looks like it's soaked in blood. I have also heard great things about zaino.
