Depends on budget, kit, and you. Everybody has their own opinion of what they look for in a finish. Machine polishing will give you a better finish than hand polishing. Autoglym SRP is usually enough for those who want to hand polish. Wax is also subject to individual preferences. Vic concours is supposed to really bring out reds.
