I have had great success with Mothers Powerpolish and an orange pad.

Buy a Porter Cable type of orbital polisher and some good APC interior cleaner. That with the stuff you currently have will get you going in the right direction.

archerwin-A few things I`d change:



Simple Green- I`d replace this with some other APC, maybe something from Meg`s. There have been so many reports of finish damage (esp. aluminum) from Simple Green that I don`t let it near any of my vehicles.



Wax- The DC#3 (that`s Meguiar`s, not Mother`s ;) ) is only so-so. I`d rather go with most any other wax in the Meguiar`s lineup or even Mother`s CA Gold.



Glaze: I *GREATLY* prefer Meg`s #5 over IHG, no comparison IMO. The other Meg`s "pure polishes" (#3/#7/#81/DC#2) would also, *IMO* be better than the IHG. Since doing a side-by-side with the #5 my IHG hasn`t left the shelf.
