I have been using Zymoil and Meguiar's. I've used most of the other stuff, but I keep coming back to these 2.

I use Meguirs scratch remover, system polish and, gold class wax.

It gives a nice shine, easy to put on and take off (I do it by hand) and seems to last a while. The whole process takes me 2 hours.

My only problem is that I'm not getting that extremely reflective look I want. I want my paint to look like glass. Thinking about trying other stuff. Any recommendations?

Been using Zaino's polish for the past two years. The Goldclass is okay but tough to getout when you accidently get it on black trim.
