Porter cable polisher -- Poor Boy SSR1, SSR2, Professional Polish, and Carnuba wax.
Here's the result when I used "store bought" products w/ the polisher:

It looks even better w/ the Poor Boy stuff
I also am trying out Klasse and Sonus stuff pretty soon. I love auto-detailing.
Turtle Wax ICE is awesome, I use it for "quick" wax jobs and it waxes everything w/o any residue, like the plastic or rubber trim areas, the grille(s), etc.

cant wait to try that....maybe ill pick one up next week.....
I bought the turtle wax ICE and it's awesome, of course I tested it out on the wife's Trailblazer first to be sure I wouldn't hurt my baby. No white residue and a shine like you know what. It doesn't take long to get it done but I'm not sure yet how durable this stuff is. If it comes off after 1 wash
... It does have a cleaner in it too so waterspots and bug guts come off really easy.

I use meguiars NXT best 17 bucks i've spent on wax. It leaves alot of residue like most wax, but if you use two towels you should be okay. Dont worry about getting it on plastic trim like the side mirrors, i just used peanut butter and it came right off... yeah thats rite peanut butter i didnt believe it till i used it.... anyone recommend a good polish solution? i've waxed the car twice already, i need a polish to keep it shining like new
