3M IHG will make the paint shine like crazy. But be forewarned, since it mostly just oils and fillers, and they will wash away after the first or second wash. Also, the liquid wax wont last very long.
Droid, I know Im sounding like im knoking on your work, but Im not cause the car looks fantastic. Just letting you know that I personally would use the paste wax, and not to be suprised if it loses its shine quickly.
3M products can be found either at your local Pep Boys, or if you wantt the profesional body shop products such as their machine polishes, you probably will have to go to NAPA auto parts.

I don't take it as a knock. I KNOW my Z looks fantastic and that's all that matters to me. I've been using the 3M stuff for ~3 years now, so I know what to expect as far as longevity. I get around five washes out of it before I have to re-wax. Doesn't matter though, detailing my car is my therapy and I enjoy every minute of it.

I'm actually going to give the One Grand Blitz a try here shortly. I understand it lasts quite a bit longer.

I'll show you what to do, but after that you're on your own. If enough local guys are interested, we should really think about a "Wash & Wax" meet one evening to share tips and techniques.

Droid, yes, someone else here looks at detailing as a therapy instead of a chore! Are we sick?

OG Blitz Wax is Awesome. I say that because not only does it look great, but it last longer than most waxes out there. You can use the IHG with the Blitz, or you can order their "Omega Glaze" which aperantly looks VERY inpressive (though I personaly havn't used it)
