That is quite impressive. From what I have extracted, he's using chemical guys products.

If you don't mind spending the time, they have everything you need to do it yourself. Clay bars, Cutting Pads, Finishing Pads, polishes, and Carnuba wax Creams, and more.

Just go practice on your neighbor's '78 Buick LeSabre. Can't possibly make it any worse.

And after.. Trust me. He'll thank you for it.

It's amazing what a little bit of carnuba wax can do.
