not so much of tip/trick...
at the end of the day, it almost doesn't matter what product u use, but your wash setup and process is more important than anything else. foam gun grit guards dual buckets fresh and clean wash mitt and drying mf rinse down (big dirt) foam down wash top down small section and rinse WELL and OFTEN low pressure sheering rinse down dry with mf, glide/blot, minimal pressure |

If you have any wax residue around emblems or script, use a soft toothbrush to gently brush the area.

Use a dry quality microfiber towel to clean lint/debris from your headliner.

ap;y a coat of vinyl protector to all of your rubber and plastic trim before polishing or waxing the car. This way if you do get any wax or polish on the trim it will wipe right off.
If you want to know how good your shine is aim a halogen light at it and it will show you all.

I foam the car down, let it dwell and let the suds lift the grime; then as I wash I make a second quart of foam and foam as I wash. Keeps the surface super slick for getting all the nasty gunk off the car without causing micro-scratches / swirls. A standard car wash can take me 2-3hrs.
