What's the absolute best car polish/protector?

I want something that will put a high-gloss mirror shine to a new car finish, as well as help protect it from dirt, scratches, and fading in the sunlight.

Preferably, this will be a product I can apply with a chamois, since I have no electric buffer…yet…

Any recommendations?

gotta go with the polymer waxes for mirror shine and durability. try klasse all-in-one or zaino. but the most expensive is probably zymol (carnuba based).

I prefer Meguiars (pronounced like McGwire, I’ve overheard people asking for meg-ee-ars which confused the clerk) line of products. Most detailing shops I’ve been to use it as well.
