Porter Cable Buffer + Meguiars = Miata Bling

[Maengelito]

so with my massive miata detailing to come this weekend, whats everyone's opinion on good car waxes, clay bars and lube, polishes, wool pads vs cotton, foam applicators vs using the random orbit polisher to apply, etc.?

keep in mind that i'm NOT going for baller car show shine, but something to make the car look nice so i can sell it. therefore, i'm limited to basically what you can find in the car care aisle at advance autoparts and products in that price range.
