Best Polish/Wax

With winter coming on and all it seems that a good wax/polish job should be in the works. What is the best polish to use on our trucks??

The best polish is the one that someone else puts on my truck... My arms are about ready to fall off after a wax job on mine.

I use Meguiars brand lately with good results.

I have used meguiars and nupolish in the past and I am looking for something better. How does the clay bar work Dan, is it hard to use and what is the risk of damage to the truck?

I used it on my dad's 99 F-150 since the paint was real chalky.
Easy to do, just shake it up, use the applicator that comes with it and follow the directions.
I followed that up with the ICE liquid polish. made a huge improvement in the appearance of the paint.

I used it since I was impressed with the ICE detail spray that I use it on my 01 F-350.

Which clay bar did you use Dan, I believe I'll get it and give it a shot on my ranger.

Hmm, I never took the ICE products seriously. Never thought a "liquid clay bar" would serve the same purpose as a clay bar. Maybe I will have to give it a try for a change

I'm a big fan of Adam's Polishes. They blow away anything you can buy in the store. Waxing is a breeze too. Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detail Supplies - Adam's Polishes
