hey, i have a 95 integra gsr which is nice and black. the paint could definately use some help.

here are some pics..

as you can see..i have a bunch of nic's and scratches and i am new to detailing, so i dont know what to do about them. the paint is 8 years old, and it dosent look like it was cared for too much before i bought it. i drive on the highway a lot so i have a nice mess of chips on the front of my car. so basically...i havent done much yet detailing wise, so what do i do? i have this stuff lying in my garage:

- Meguires Gold Class Car wash/shampoo
- Meguires Quik Detailer
- Meguires Deep Crystal System:
1- Paint Cleaner
2- Polish
3- Carnauba Wax
- 3m Swirl Mark Remover (for dark)
- Mothers Showtime Instant Detailer
- Mothers Pure Carnauba Wax (phase 3)
- Some GS-27 (this **** actually worked for me on surface scratches a few times)

- And I have many new 100%cotton terry cloth towels (that leave white “towel dust” and shed on my black car..haha)
- some microfiber towels from the pakshack
- a 7 pack of wax applicators from pepboys.. it has 4 things that are 100% terry cloth cotton and 3 of the foam yellow round applicators
- And the absorber

How should these things be applied/taken off? I really have no idea...haha

is there anyone around union county in NJ that would be willing to detail my car for cheap? or maybe just help me out and show me what to do? im a college kid with barely any money, lol. thanks!
