How do I get a car glisten? ( paint )
Yo guys. On my way home I was driving my eg and this other dude in an eg pulled up next to me . It was mad dark but we were under the lights, but this guys car's paint job was absolutely glistening. It looked like it had the showroom wax on it like you could see yourself in it. How can I get my paint job to look like this.haha

A clay bar kit is fairly nice, and <$20, but wont make your car glisten like his. Although if you run your hand along your car. You feel all these little bumps, its not smooth. A clay bar kit will fix that, so it is smooth and shines a little bit better.
Most likely a newer paint job laid by people who used good paint/clear coat

buff> polish> waxing your car is the most expensive way, but will yield possibly the best results than any other

Depends on the condition of your paint already. But you can improve it greatly. Wash the car, then clay bar it. Then use some sort of polish or glaze on it. I like the Meguiars Show Car Glaze. It's a good value, IMO. Then you can top with your choice of wax to seal it, or not. It's up to you. I can get my car looking pretty damn good after this time consuming process.
