    poorboys black hole is great. i use it on all my cars i only seem to buy black for some reason. i usually give them 2 coats on poorboys black hole then a collinite 915 looks real deep and lasts ages! i havent used anything other then pooyboys for around 2 years now, i used to allways use meguiars polish and wax.

    I started looking on detailing websites and I now have product overload!
    I find snow foaming the wifes black car before washing helps to keep the swirl marks at bay, I use Bilt Hamber.
    Seems the latest must have for longevity is ceramic sealers, like ceramishield which is supposed to last upto two years!

    Problem is the massive amount of choice is baffling. Trying to get a recommendation for a product or range of products to work together is a nightmare.

    the easiest way to keep up with products and what is best to use, is to limit yourself to choice brands, say 5 for example, product from the same brand will work well together (common sense really) and stick to what you know

    my kit consists of meguiars, autoglym and valetpro, with a couple of autosmart, simoniz and dodo juice, and dont really stray out from these brands, although i have tried other stuff like poorboys

    As above, try a few, get samplers if you can. Find what works for you and stick with it. There is a load of buzz at the moment about certain 'new' polishes but I'm happy with Menzerna. I find them easy to work with and get the results I want with the machine so will keep using them.

    The forum here has some friendly people on it: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk

    For me after polish prep with Menz. in summer I follow up with Prima Amigo (glaze) and then Menz. Powerlock (sealant) which leaves the paint looking wet and glossy. For winter it's Carlack NSC68 (cleaner.mild filler) and LLS (long life sealant) topped with FK1000P (high temp sealant). For wheels I use FK1000P as it lasts ages and makes brake dust removal easy.

    For the Nova I think a base prep and sealant followed up with DJ Purple Haze wax will look best, as it's not out much it doesn't need to be as durable as the daily driver.
