You may want to read though this. Notice the table of contents on the right hand side:

To answer your question, a wax isn't going to make unmaintained paint look like it did 5 years ago. The paint needs to be cleaned and polished, corrected if necessary, beforehand.

I would have to say invest in some clay and good polish and maybe a porter cable.

then polish out your car and then use a good wax (the wax is about 5-10% of the detail) polishing your car out will add gloss and depth

PC Kit
Orange CCS pad
Clay bar and lube
Menzerna Intro Kit

LMK if you have any more questions.

4g- since you're Canadian and I don't think anyone was paying attention to that, A great Canadian distributor is Eshine.ca. The owners name is Chris and he is very helpful. I suggest you look into Eshine so you're not paying out the wazoo for shipping and taxes...

Which Meguiars wax restores a 5 year old neglected finish "just fine" without polishing/claying first? How would you compare its performance to the products recommended on this forum?
