That guy's still around? lolDepends on what you have to accomplish. Here’s my method:
1. Wash the vehicle with Dawn dishwashing soap, then rinse it really good.
2. Mix up Meguires, or Mothers car washing soap, and using a clay bar, wash the entire vehicle again, rinsing each section as I go.
3. If any scratches are noticed, bows the time to use some Meguires Scratch X 2.0 and at least reduce them.
4. Run in a good coat of Meguires Gold Class carnauba paste wax, or something similar, then wipe that off with numerous microfiber towels.
5. Buff with sheepswool bonnet using a 10” cheapo buffer.
6. Coat entire vehicle with Griot’s or Chemical Guys show car wax.
7. Buff it again.
8. Collapse onto the floor, as all that takes dang near all day to do.
Usually, if you cannot clearly see yourself walking up to the vehicle, it’s not shiny enough. Doing this helps prevent tree sap, dirt, mud, and bird poop, amongst other stuff from sticking to the paint, and therefore stays cleaner longer.
There again, I’m that guy that waxes the deck on his lawnmower, his wife’s bicycle, drinks Crown XO, and drives a Jeep. Your mileage may vary.

If the paint is not too far gone you would be amazed and what a good polish then waxing could do...mine is an o5 and I sill break out the buffer on it every year.My jeep is already old and I'm not a wax user. Will applying wax regularly help it look a little vibrant?
If you follow what I wrote in my previous post, you can make drastic improvements. And you don’t have to do all that every time, just maybe twice a year. In between those, just wash and wax about once a month, or as needed.My jeep is already old and I'm not a wax user. Will applying wax regularly help it look a little vibrant?
Oops, I use Windex too
Will do. I'm not too attached to WindexYou should give a non-ammonia like Cinch a try, so much better.
I bought this stuff a little while back. I like it quite a bit. Goes on easy, easy to remove, looks great and seems to hold up well. It's not the cheapest, but that 8oz bottle should last quite a while. I like their tire spray too, it's a nice black, but not all shiny like many others out there.
