Yo cho... doh.

I use Kitten. Kitten for cutting compound and kitten for a wax pollish. I highly recommend it and frankly i would not use anything but the best on my car, so that is why i use Kitten. Damn, that sounds like a commercial. Seriously, its excellent. Ive used Maguires polish in the past, but it simply was not comparable. It took me a fair while to nail it down to kitten as the best. My car shines and beads for a real decent amount of time before requiring a new pollish. Oh and did i mention i dont use a buffer? I do it all by hand, no more than 20cm x 20cm squares/circles at a time. It takes literally hours and hours. Wonder why? you wouldnt wonder if you saw how good it looked. No fu*king swirls...

Wow, that shines. I hate washing my car because over here there's never a good time to do it. You cannot keep your car clean for more than three days. So actually, I don't use anything, but my friends use Turtle wax. I'm thinking about trying it some time though.
