sure - as they say here:

"Find something that you like and use it often"

it's that simple....

add a good wash - Meguires gold class is OTC and good stuff...

Hi. Can you please spell out the products that you have used. I also have a black 2007 Toyota Avalon. Was not very successful last year so I would appreciate a little help. Thank you very much.

First, Get the car "right":
1. wash: meguire's gold class at any auto parts store
2. meguire's smooth clay and clay lubricant like ONR
3. Wax on/off a coat of Meguire's Ultimate compound

two buckets , wash mitt and some MF towels

From here I would stay inside a product line as they compliment each other:

two examples:
Blackfire Total polish and seal (my fav)
Blackfire Crystal Seal
Blackfire Wet Diamond spray
or
Ultima paint prep
Ultima Paint Guard plus
Ultima Spray

a more conventional approach would be 2 coats of inexpensive Collonite 845 and be done with it - follow with Durgloss aquawax after washes...

all this stuff is great by hand....

with this you'll be more detailed than any car in your neighborhood....
