I've had the car for about two weeks now and am ready to detail the car.

The car is two weeks old and I was thinking of using the following products.

Random Orbital 7424
PS21's Car Wash
Clay Bar (not sure what type to get)
Menzenra Final Polish II
Menzenra Full Molecular Jacket (two coats)
Wax (what's a good wax out there)

Don't drive the cars in the rain, have a truck for that. Any opinions or advice on what's needed on a new car for the exterior would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Random Orbital 7424 - PC is obsolete, get the FLEX
PS21's Car Wash - horrible soap, CG Citrus Wash and Gloss or Duragloss 901 is great
Clay Bar (not sure what type to get) - any of them are good, they are all the same. Get Claymagic, its the cheapest
Menzenra Final Polish II - Get 106FF, finishes better than FP2
Menzenra Full Molecular Jacket (two coats) - Jetseal KILLS FMJ (its not really made by Menz, its a relabel)
Wax (what's a good wax out there) - Its all in the polishing, depends on if you are looking for a beauty wax or something lost lasting. FK Pink Wax is nice for 16 bucks.
