Not trying to argue...all I'm saying is that when I posed this question to the guy at Meguiars, he said they found their synthetic wax provided all the shine needed and Carnuba offered no additional shine. I told him I was a newbie at this and was prepared to buy everything and anything I needed, so he certainly had the opportunity to upsell me and squeeze some Carnuba money out of me.
For all I know he just started at Meguiars that morning, who knows.
As for whether or not a rookie can do it, my vote would be yes. I've always taken good care of my cars by washing them regularly, often by hand. But I wouldn't say I'm "anal" about them. But since buying the Z4 MR I've been a little more anal. I spent a full day washing, claying (a word?!), taking the swirls out, waxing, etc. The dual action polisher makes the work a lot easier.
