First off, I'm usually more active over on gpf.net but I've been lookin around over here and I've started to like it more haha. Don't mind my measly 2 posts or w/e haha.

Anyway, I'm gettin ready to do a full out spring detail and everything. I did just a wash this past weekend just to get my car lookin a little bit better but I want to get it better than it is. It's got alot of swirl marks and "scratches." I was gonna get some of that meguiars swirl x stuff to take that off but first I have some other questions.

I'm not really sure what the whole polishing this is all about. Usually I just wash and wax. Can someone explain to me what I would want to do if I'm gonna do a polish and everything, and explain what a polish does compared to a wax. After searching around, I'm thinking I need to do something like this:

Wash/dry
Claybar
Wax

I'm not really sure where the polish fits in at. And as far as the wax goes, I usually use meguiars gold class liquid. I'm thinking about either trying out some of the gc paste, or getting some of the nxt 2.0 paste and putting the gc liquid on after the nxt. I'm not really into zaino, I just don't have the money for that right now and meguiars has always treated me well.

I got a lot of rock chips on the front end of my car from driving on the interstate alot. It makes me sick to see all those. I know most of them probably can't be dealt with. But if you guys know anything I can do to help that'd be cool. The car got wrecked a few years ago and the front end had to be all repainted and stuff. I know the paint is never as good once you get it repainted, but it's only been a year since it got repainted and theres little chips everywhere. You think maybe I should get it repainted somewhere else that would do a better job?

Sorry for the long post and all the questions. Haha I just want to know what I'm doin when it comes to detailing.

you're not going to get many responses in this area of the forum, this is the G8 Appearance section, looks like you have a 2000 GP GT...

I like Adam's Polishes, as many others do, but there are plenty of other products that will suffice. where are you from?
