Hey Darticus, I can understand your reluctance to do all the work as outlined in the detailing thread.

Here is my two cents......

1. Do not use Turtle Wax on your car. You could cause more problems than you would do good. You could end up putting swirl marks in the paint if you do not have high quality application/buffing materials, etc.

2. Find a good detailer in your area to do the things as outlined in the detailing thread. Prices vary by location, but I would think that about $120 would be a good starting point to have your car professionally detailed. Money well spent if you are not inclined to do it yourself.
