Ok,
How do you folks do it 
I'm talking about the way your cars shine, I take very good care of my car and wax it often, but I don't get the shine that Lowbrowser, Tumarr, Hank51 and many others get. Your cars look like they're covered in glass.
I currently use Zymol, I clean the car throughly, and wax it by hand and orbital buffer, and I get a pretty good shine, but no where near as shiny as you guys 
I can't believe a wax that cost a few hundred bucks can really make that much of a difference. Or can it ?
I've never used Zymol, but have heard many good things about it. I use Griot's Garage Best of Show Wax and found it to be the best I've ever used. It makes the paint finish look a foot deep. Prior to it, I used Mequiar's Gold Class and as good as I thought it is, the Griot's is better. I still have some Mequiar's left, and continue to use it on my daily driver until it's used up.
There's a lot of good polishes and waxes on the market, and I certainly haven't tried that many, so I can only talk about what I've tried. I do still use natural carnauba based waxes as no matter how hyped the new polymer based products are, I still believe the natural products are better.
I know Lowbrowser's secret to a great shine, but I;ll let him tell you! LOL!

Vincruiser is just jealous! (just kidding). I was told mine got an extra clear
coat over the original paint a few years ago. If that doesn't work, the
"sharpen' filter does wonders!
Thanks guys,
No matter what you're using, even if a little trick photography is used your cars look great 
I'll search for a "polish", remove the old wax, clean & polish, and then apply the wax. Sounds easy enough. Hopefully, when I get it repainted, I'll get a couple of extra coats of clear, and hope I get a shine like you guys.
Lifetime Memberlet's see .......... recently repainetd with a couple of clear coats, real sunny day, Meguiar's and photoshop. yep, that about covers it. never tried Zymol. I think because of the cost, don't remember. maybe some day I'll try it. looks great on Gunslinger's cars.
