Your best off starting from the top,
Start with a decent wash with a good shampoo, 2 buckets and a lambswool washmitt
Then id
Clay- Megs quick clay is fine
Polish- AG ultra deep shine will be fine for this as is has some fillers and will deepen up the dark colour
Glaze-For this you can use megs DC2 if you have to or id use Clearkote red moose glaze, this works great on dark colours.
Sealant- Poorboys EX-P or AG extra gloss protection.
Finishing wax- Poorboys nattys blue, P21S Concours or harley wax all work great.
The finishing wax you could spritz to get a few layers on ther this is what gives you that super wet look...although its all about the prep beforehand that will make the wax work at its best.
Hope that helps

Go with the list written by Frayz.
Use AG UDS or Clearkote VMG to polish the paintwork. UDS has more fillers to mask defects, VMG has more cut. Take care over this stage, as poor preparation here means the later stages will be less effective.
Next glaze the car to deepen and wetten the look. Use the Clearkote Red Moose Glaze for best results. Apply thinly and evenly. As said in another thread, this product isn't weather proof, so you mustn't stop there; the product must be sealed in with either EGP or EX-P.
Then for the wet shine you require, apply a good quality finishing wax, Pinnacle Souveran will give an excellent finish, but it's not as durable as Natty's Blue. Either wax can be layered to deepen the shine.

Depends what you're after mate. We're talking about paintwork here, so no, nothing would need to be removed. The advice given above is for hand polishing, as this is what 98% of people do. You'd use slightly different products with a PC.
