Depends on what you want to achieve. Are you looking to correct defects (such as swirl marks and fine scratches) on either car, or just deepen the gloss on them? Also, are you planning to work by hand or machine? Also, just to make sure, do you want protective products (i.e. wax or sealant) as well, or just polishes?

theres a couple of fine scratchs but mainly just to deepen the gloss until recently i only thought you had to polish? but if the sealents are going to help then thats ok.
p.s will be doing it by hand!

Ok, in that case a product that cleanses and glazes would be ideal, as this will help to hide the minor defects and boost gloss. I would suggest Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish topped with Blackfire All Finish Paint Protection would be a great way to get a good finish on both cars; if I was picking for each car on it's own there would be better alternative options, but as a one hit solution for both cars this would be the best bet. Both products go on best with German Applicator Pads, and are best buffed off with Deluxe Mega Towels. Here are a few links...

Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection
Poorboy's Deluxe Mega Towel
