Congrats on your detail. It is a good idea to have a prefessional do it every few years.

In the mean time let me suggest this website:

Car Care, Detail Supplies, Garage Organization, Car Accessories - Griot's Garage 800-345-5789

They have all sorts of high quality products and I can reccomend them. One item I got last year was a random orbital polisher. If you look at that page there is a video on how to use it properly!!

Griot's Garage Video: 6" Random Orbital, Polishing Basics

There are several how to videos on their site that are useful for the enthusiast.

Good Luck!

1) I would thoroughly wash the car and clay bar to remove contaminants from the paint. 2) I would use Mothers Fine Cleaning Compound and then the Swirl Remover 3) I would hand wax at least 2 coats of Mothers Carnuaba Wax.
