Meguiars step by step
I am going to the store tommorrow to get some Meguiars products to wash and wax my black mustang. I really don't have any clue on what to get. This will be my first time waxing it and it has some swirl marks in the paint so what Meguiars products should I get? Thank you.

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS ARE MEGUIARS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED:
clay bar (only if you need it, after car is washed run your hand across paint and if you can feel any ABOVE SURFACE CONTAMINANTS then you need it, if its glassy smooth then you dont; pits and scratches and below surface problems dont apply): SMOOTH SURFACE KIT (has my car on the box...lol) and comes with 2 clay bars, case, detailer and microfiber
Ultra Plush wash mit
2 good size buckets with 2 grit gaurds (2 bucket wash method, PM me for details)
either the versa-angle face brush or a dedicated wash mit (make sure its soft) for the wheels
soap: gold class or nxt shampoo
wheel cleaner: depends on the wheels you have but to be on the safe side; Hot Rims ALL WHEEL CLEANER OR MULTI PIECE
drying:
- 1-2 water magnets
- 1-2 super suede drying cloths (microfiber like chamois)
windows:
- duo-fiber glass super towel (microfiber/cloth)
- Turtle wax Clear-Vue (not sure on the spelling)
Tires:
- Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel
- Curved (to the wheel contour) Sponge applicator
Several Supreme Shine MicroFibers
and several more regular microfibers (anybrand on these)
4-5 High Tech Applicator Pads
Any Billet, or polished/non-chrome metal (also non-clear coated; ie. stock wheels): Mothers Billet Polish, great for tail pipes or any metal surface you want to shine bright
Chrome: Mothers Chrome Polish
For those swirls and scratches: Scratch X
Polish: Show Car Glaze #7
Wax: High Tech Yellow #26
Detailer: Either the Quick Detailer or NXT Speed Detailer
Vynll and trim: (assuming its not faded) Black Magic's Professional Protectant, also works great on the inside once the interior has been cleaned as a nice UV protectant and shiney/wet finish, also use cheese cloth towels to apply, this doesnt leave behind lint. (so get 2-3 of those)
2-3 cloth diaper towels (to apply metal polishes)
and a couple of rags for whatever may come up...lol
Is it a vert?
for some reason I feel like I missing something, but that should get you going on the outside of your car, if you want a list for the interior let me know, I can also give you some helpful pointers and some other neat tools I find to work real well that are very helpful but not essential.
Good luck
