turtlewax ICE, works great!!! the wax won't leave that white leftover crap either on your black trim. they make all the products, claybar, polish, wax, interior detailer.

no, polish is like claybar... it removes small debris and smooths the clearcoat surface, takes out minor scratches, etc... and then you wax after that for a perfect shine. do it when your truck gets a little older, 1yr...

comes down to personal pref. i just stick with one brand, keep it simple. all of them are similar and everyone will rave about what they use. find what you like and stick with it. i think turtlewax ICE is a good start. go to the store and read the bottles, you'll understand then...

never had any problems and always leaves a great product of my days labor...
