With 4th of July coming and hopefully a good sale. I'm wanting to up the shine value on my car.

I would prefer to spend less than $100 for the materials. As for my paint condition it is fairly good maybe a few swirls here and there below the beltline. Other then that it doesn't have any scratches or needed paint correction.

I don't have a DA or buffer so that limits what I can do. But, any product recomendations? I can't name the exact color of my car but its basically a generic looking silver.

BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Kit, car wax kit (http://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-midnight-sun-kit.html)

I'm a big fan of most Blackfire products. And this kit is probably the best bang for the buck on AG right now. Plus its on sale!!!

This is what I used to sell my '95 Saturn last year; sold it within a week of advertising it on Craigslist.

2-3 Microfiber Applicators (I also like P21S Foam applicators)
Mother's Clay Bar System
Mother's Step 1 - Pre-wax Cleaner
Mother's Step 2 - Glaze/Sealant
Mother's Step 3 - Carnauba Wax

If you want even cheaper, with one less step then replace Mother's Step 1 & 2 with Mother's Synthetic Wax (which has light cleaners in it). Everything above is probably under $50 and you do not need a DA for them. When I did my car the P21 foam applicators became filthy; so doing it by hand will work just fine for your sale plan

A few of topic questions...

What is a good wax for tires? And how many microfiber towels do you have and what do you se each one for?

I didn't see the point on starting a new thread for 2 small questions.
