If you never clayed you car, you should go for that. Meguiar's clay is priced right and a decent size bar. Keep the clay and car wet at all times to avoid a mess. As for NXT, go with what works for you but NXT is the only Meguiars wax I would use on my cars, otherwise I would use a different brand. As far as polish, I never got good results by hand. If you willing to invest in a buffer, be it DA like the G-100 or Porter Cable, or rotary like the Makita and learn how to use it properly, you will get great results. I use #83 DA polish with the Meguiars yellow pad and it works well for a mild abrasive. Check the G-100 or Rotary forums here or Autopia.org for some tips on how to use those.

Welcome to Meguiar's Online!
Besides all the good advice already posted, I would seriously look at adding a Grit Guard Insert to your arsenal of detailing tools.
And perhaps some of our new tools for washing and drying your car as they become available in the first part of next year.
New Accessories for 2005!
