Hey! What do you use to get it so shiny?
You just did a 3 stage correction on your car. You have two coats of sealant and a topper of carnauba. Someone comes up to you and says, "Hey! How did you get it so shiny?" Do you spend twenty minutes explaining 8 hours of hard work and sweat, or do you just say, "Some stuff." ?
What do you say?

"If I tell you...I would have to kill you"....
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

Yeah, that's a tough one, most people expect you to just blurt out a brand, because they don't understand it's a process, not a product. So I usually go with "some stuff".

It depends on who asks. If it's one of my car nut neighbors or other car nuts, then I'll actually explain what I did. If it's anybody else I'll say, "Give me some cash and you'll see."

Depending on the mood, and what the level of interest that I gauge from the person asking:
A - "About 6 hours of polishing, and a 1/2 hour putting some wax on."
B - "Turtle Wax Ice!" (Everyone around here thinks that is the BEST car care product ever invented. I have had LOTS of people tell me that's what I should be using).

There you go!
But this can be tough, when the person adds to the question "how do you get it so shiny, I use XXX brand, what do you use?" and you can't answer with a different brand because then they say "where can I get that??" like all they have to do is buy that brand and poof their vehicle will look like Mike Phillips just worked on it...as the OP stated, you can say "I used YYY and ZZZ brand...but it was really the machine, my pads, the combination of different products, and oh...the process and technique I have developed from doing it many times and interacting and studying online forums for years, as well as the 8 hours of work" but then their eyes just glaze over...
