My car has some tree sap and bumps, but no bird droppings or anything like that. I think I'll need to do the clay bar thing now, but do you recommend me going through all the steps in the OP's original post? Also, what would make a ASM civic really really shine? My friends keep telling me that you cant really notice the shine on Silver cars no matter how much wax and shine you put on it but I just cant believe that so I want to prove them wrong and just do this for my car since it deserves it.

I would say you need to clay and use at least some sort of cleaner polish. as far as wax on different colors here is a post made on anohther thread...

After a wash clay ,polish, I used CG's Jetseal 109,then CG's EZ creme ,again Jetseal 109,then after 24 hours I applied a couple of layers of DP's Max Wax.
If you are familiar with the method "spit shine" applying a carnuba wax using this method would give Galaxy Grey the most amazing shine.

The steps should be the same for every color. If you think about it you are actually working on clear and not the color itself. Darker colors are just better at showing gloss, depth, reflection...So someone who says brand "x" works great on lighter colors but sucks on dark colors is actually incorrect. What they really mean is that it works poor on dark colors and you really can't see the difference on the light colors.
Since lighter colors tend to be harder to see the benefit from using a pure polish like #7 I usually say to skip that step unless you have the time and want maximum shine.
Hope this helps.
