Default Just waxed my ride!!!(More pics)

I had a day off from school so I waxed my baby. It was a mess after the winter. The winter in Iceland is a killer for cars. Well, it needs buffing, I am just waiting for my makita to arrive. The paint on the 2IS suckes. I have rock ships all over the car. Need to get my friend who is a paint pro to help me with the wetsanding and touchupping. Here are some pics and I will post more soon.
Took some of my both ghetto gangsta rides.

Any more pics please ?

I was wondering what kind of wax and products you used to get that result. I heard about Meguyar's wax. What do all of you think about Meguyar's ?
