Are you looking for information from start to finish or just for the machine polishing? What kind of car polishing have you done in the past?

Hi yes, basically looking for best materials for weekly cleaning, and machining kits etc & techniques etc
Want to keep it having a showroom shine all year round
Have polished previous cars by hand
Never used a machine polisher
Thanks

The process that you should look to be following is:

Pre-wash using snow foam
Rinse
Wash using the 2 bucket method, decent shampoo, lambswool wash mitt
Rinse
Decontaminate including claying
Wash again using 2 bucket wash to remove residue
Rinse
Dry
Polish
Seal
Wax

Do you have a budget that I could work with?
