My son’s 2001 GS was looking pretty beat. Here’s a before/after. Wash, clay bar, cut/buff/polish (i see those terms used interchangeably, not sure which is correct), another wash, and sealer. I’m not a pro, and this paint is already shot so I wasn’t worried about taking too much off. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

WOW — for a 24 yr old car that’s been in the Cali beat-down sun, that’s pretty impressive to get vibrant color back‼️

Kudos to you 👏

Thanks. Excellent question. I’m just getting into this and don’t really have a preferred brand, pretty much whatever is affordable and the shop/friends recommend. Here’s the lineup that I used on the GS, along with yellow and black foam pads.

Nice. I've used Meguiar's products for many years with great results. I'm thinking about trying out the AMMO NYC products when I'm able to acquire a LC.
