I can recommend Meguiar's Gold Class polish. I'm a lazy swine, I love having a car shinier than my head, but hate the work it takes to get there. Halfraud's car shampoo is terrific (and cheap), then a good rinse, chamois... and while the last waxes I had took hours to apply, this comes with it's own sponge, and rubs on and buffs off very easily. And it leaves the car shining, and feeling, like glass.
Next up, the interior shampoo... 118000 miles, never had more than a hoover and a dust inside :p
