Autosmart Tardis as shown in the link above by Brian is a good product and I have used this prior to machine polishing, however, for quickness I'd personally go for a Bilt Hamber clay bay, you'll be amazed by the results as it will also remove other contaminants that waxing & polishing won't. Here's a link to a previous thread of mine:

If you need any advice, give us a holler!
