    yeah, it all depends on how much time and money you are going to spend as well as how badly your paint is damaged. For a quick, cheap and a shine that doesn't last too long, I'd get the three step program from Meguires topped with Gold Class. With some microfibre buffing towels and applicators and about a half days worth of work and you have a pretty decent shine for about a month. To speed it up, you could get an RANDOM ORBITAL polisher.

    If you wanted to take it a step further, you could Zaino it. Zaino Store

    To do whats best for you paint, read Autopia - Autopia Home very carefully. You could even take a quick read before taking option number 1 just for some pointers.

    Cheers, and besure to post some pics afterwards.

    If you have never used a polisher before B very carefull if you try, my thoughts would be to use a random orbital. it gets the job done well and I havent seen anyone burn thier paint with one of those.

    Honestly I used the spray on wax. You spray the car down with water (after you wash it of course) and then spray the wax on with the water, and dry it off with a towel. The product to my surprise worked amazingly well.

    It also got some of the looser tar and stuff off, but not all of it. I recommend giving the spray on a shot.
