Izero one main thing is buy turtle wax chrome polish and make sure you have an apllicator pad. Also make sure you have some microfiber towels. The claybar treatment is at walmart. They have two the mothers in a red box and a turtle wax ice. I prefer the mothers even though i haven't used it. Those are the main things i also reccomend the armor all tire shine gel. It comes with an applicator. The rest is the normal car wash stuff. Wax haven't done it for a while though.

Lucky for me I never have to wax mine seeing my custom paint job always looks shiney no matter what. I just do a carwash hand held and dry her off , clean the rims and tire shine the tires and vaccum and clean out the interior and trunk and give the engine bay a good cleaning and shes good to go for my carshows. still alot of work but pays off at the carshows.

RE: Detailing....?
This is my process in which i clean my cars:
1. wash the car with soapy sponge
2. completely dry the car.
3. Spray the showtime spray then massage the paint with the clay bar, 1 pannel at a time
4. wax that pannel with the buffer using the wax provided
5. repeat to every panel
I dont buff the clay bar into the paint, i dont even think thats possible..
Its very cool, as you push the clay bar along you really can feel it pick up the dirt on the paint.
After the wax is applied and wiped off, that panel is so smooth.
