The way I do my cars (when I want them to look and feel show-like),
is to thoroughly wash, dry with soft cotton towel, then use the
clay bar system (either Mothers from the FLAPS or the stuff from Griots)
to remove all surface contaminants.  This is amazing stuff.  It does
not harm the paint but leaves the surface smooth as silk.  The next step is
to apply Klasse cleaner/glaze (the milky colored stuff) and then buff
off by hand just like you would with ordinary wax.  Then I follow with
Klasse sealant glaze (the clear liquid stuff), and then buff again to
an incredible shine.  I really like the Klasse, it is rather expensive
but long lasting.  One application is usually good for an entire year
here in mild California weather.
