try the mother's gold 3 stage process. I've been using their canauba wax for years and had good results. The other wax which had good ratings in consumer reports was the carnuba wax from meguiars. Use the hard wax as the liquid was rated lower on gloss and longevity.

Go to your local harley shop and pick up a bottle of s100 SEC and s100 carnuba wax. I waxed my m3 with these two products and was very impressed to say the least.

The SEC is $8.95 and the wax is $14.95. It doesn't take alot of product to do a car. You only need a thin layer, remember only a little contacts the surface of the paint. A thick layer only wastes product.

I use Micro Fiber towels from http://www.pakshak.com . This is very important as to not induce micro maring ect.

Apply a trim dressing to the trim the will make it easier to remove the wax. Or you can tape your moldings off with masking tape.
