To top it off, this is the first time I have ever polished/waxed a car, and it turned out damn near perfect!

look like turtle wax ice is winning over Meguiar. Seriously i tried Meguiar's polish and wax on my old pathfinder and hardly shine at all, i don't know if i did it right.

My results were good with Meguiar's ~ I could see my reflection ~

Basically you gotta wash it first....then Scratch X (gets rid of scratches and defects) then paint cleaner (bring out shine in paint), then the polish and protect (gives it a wet look.....I use the Meguiar's Wet look polish and protect) then Wax.....(I use Gold Class Wax)

Here are some pictures of my room mate's Camry Sportivo I worked on just a few days ago ~ Need to clean my car soon too ~

Well because we have water restrictions here ~ I used the 2 bucket washing way in my garage ~ So one with the wash and one with plain water to clean it ~ This is slower of course.....all together from Wash to final wax ~ 6 - 7 hours ~

I like the results though ~

it took me less than 2 hours from wash to wax my car. i guess that why my car not shinny and wet looking.

Hahaha ~ That is one other thing you need to keep in mind when washing your car....the willingness to spend 6 hours to A WHOLE DAY washing it ~

Hehehe ~
