Gotta say I'm really impressed with Adams Polishes!
http://www.adamspolishes.com/

I repainted my K5 a few months ago and it looked really matt, because I suck at painting lol
I was using Poorboys SSR products trying to get some reflection out of it then I hit it up with Adams Swirl and Haze remover once with my Porter Cable and :whoa:
Brought the reflections out!

My only secret is that I use Lemon Pledge on the tires. Shines them like crazy for a pretty long time and won't leave a film is you get it on your nice chrome wheels. Wish I had taken pics earlier today after I got done cleaning the trucks, but trust me on this one...

Rain-X glass cleaner works great for chrome. I dont like Armor-all on my dash, sunny days I cant see anything with a shiny dash so I just wipe it down with Simple Green wipes. I'll have to try the lemon Pledge trick, sounds neat. I remember dad getting carried away and buffing his black truck down to the gray primer on his bedside once lol.

I'm a big fan of Meguiars. It does a pretty good job, even by hand. Still need to pick me up a 7424XP one of these days, so I can spare myself some carpal tunnel!

If your paint is starting to fade at all, use TR3. It's in a Blue and Silver can at any parts store. It's about $7 or $8 per can, but I swear that stuff works. Makes a car that shines like cement look like it's gotten a new paint job.

I usually use meguiars or mothers. Neither has failed me and they both have a good reputation. I have been using the armoral orange wipes for the interior as of late. the only thing I dont like is sometimes they are soaked and leave marks. To remedy that I just start some where its not so visible and then go back over it when the wipe dries some.

I use Eagle's "Wax as you Dry" and it is wonderful. I've been using it for years. It makes it easy to get the bugs off when you wash it next time and it works great on chrome and glass to get and keep the water spots off. My favorite cleaning product.

I use Mother's chrome Polish, Meguiar's Tire Shine, Rain-X for muh winder, Zymol wax, lots of terry cloths, Armoral Wipes for the dash and door panels/other plastic, Tuff Stuff on the carpet, I had both the Power Ball and the mini but somebody stole 'em lol. And when I hand wash a vehicle (have NOT handwashed the S-10) I use Meguiar's Gold Class and a sheepskin mitt and another bug scrubbin mitt.....I think that's all?

Oh, and I'm TERRIFIED to use a buffer on my paint......maybe someday though.
