1) Clay bar (using Meguiar's Quick Detailer as the lubricant)
2) Meguiar's Speed Glaze #80 applied with a DA polisher (Only if needed due to swirls, which, so far, the EX35 hasn't needed)
3) Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 applied with a DA polisher
Daily maintenance:
1) Oxo Car Duster (or California Car Duster, but I prefer the Oxo brand)
2) Meguiar's NXT Generation Detailing Spray or Ultimate Detailer.
I am anal about how I care for my cars. If it hasn't rained, my cars always look like they were professionally detailed the same morning. It is the daily maintenance that makes a difference! My weekend fun car - a Classic Red 2001 Mazda Miata which is heavily modified - has won a total of 8 trophies in various car shows over the last few years.

What are your suggestions for deep cleaning it without leaving scratches or swirls. I'm hesitant to use a polish as I understand it makes micro-scratches. Thanks.

It is really good for the headlight but you can use it on different plastics.

I plan to pick up a wax this week for my Moonlight EX. I saw the Meguiar's NXT wax and was leaning towards it. Which is better the paste or liquid? Does it really last as long as they say or is it just hype? Are there any other car waxes that you guys recommend? I also had Zymol , Mothers, and Zaino on my list. I read somewhere that Zaino wax is not good for light colored cars. This would be the first time I waxed the car since I got at the end of June.

first Zaino is not a wax, it is a polymer polish. Second, it works just fine on light colored cars, you just don't have to put as many layers on to get the same effect as a dark colored car.
