red is the easiest color to get A+ shine with. The brand of wax you use really doens't matter. I've tried virtually ever brand and 9 out 10 couldn't pick a Meguiars car from a whatever car. Do yourself a favor and don't spend a lot of money buying 6 different products.
1-get yourself a few bars of detaling clay. When the car is sudsy from a wash rub the paint with the clay. that will unlock most of the shine. wash the car again.
2-use any over the counter paint polish. most have virtually all the same ingredients. You don't have to spend a great deal more to get a polish with more concentration. Duragloss, FK1, Chemical Guys all have no frils polishes used by pros at rock bottom prices.
3-once the paint is clean use any synthetic wax. They all last forever as long as your not constantly washing the car with a cheap car wash soap. A sealant is mostly a waste of money unless you plan only touching your paint once a year.
The two out of the ordinary things I would recommend you do is use buy top notch towels. They're pricey but look for the silk binding. Poorboysworld.com and chemical guys have some good deals that work out to less than three bucks a towel. Cheap towels will just make using expensive waxes a waste of time. The other thing, which I swear by, is using an ant-static spray to keep the synthetic wax from being exposed for too long. It's like teflon. Doesn't make the car shinier just keeps the wax going 10/10's shine until you reapply the wax every few months. I use Fk1 425 for this (see link below).
p.s.
use voodooride.com's Hyp'd for tires. Nice matte black shine.
