My tip is to go buy 4 things - 1). Micro fiber towels for buffing 2). Go to a motorcycle shop and buy some S100 Paste Wax. It's the best wax I've ever used! 3). Go to a good automobile paint supply and buy some Dupont 3919S Prep-Sol Solvent to prep the paint before doing anything after a good washing 4). Buy a clay bar
If you use these products you'll be really happy with the results and all are easily found, well not at Walmart.
