would the above 1 - 2 -3 be good for removing/Hiding swirls on my black car? I have hidden most of them but the McGuires I use does not seem to be as good as I though.

I use many different brands depending on the situation, but find myself using Zaino most often.

Just started using Zaino. The longevity of it has been awesome and I think it's a sound product.

Dido... I just clayed (meguires clay bar) and zaino'd my car yesturday afternoon for the storage of winter haha but i used to use all the waxes off the shelf at the auto parts stores and they just dont last as long. And you use very little compared to the others. Less than an ounce to do a car.

you need a swirl cutter for that. a 3 step isnt enough. try tropi-care swirl cutter, i think its the best out there. of course youll need a PC to really use the swirl cutter. other then that, i use megs for everything else.

OP, Ive heard that Mothers wax is difficult to work with. I have some that came with the clay bar kit but havent used it yet.

This is the first time I used Mothers, and it took out almost every servace scratch and mark off the paint, works really good.

The first step is hard, cause you have to keep rubbing it in till it smooths out, but steps 2 and 3 are easy, go on very nice. I would stay away from the clay bar, they scare me for some reason.

I use Meguiars on the buffer for swirl cutting/scratch removal, and Zaino for everything else.

Cajun Shine. The shine is unmatched, and ease is unbelievable.

I'm using Tropi-Care Ivory Paste Wax as a final touch these days, on top of TC-3. I've also had good results with Blackfire and Zaino.

If you want shine and durability- Zaino hands down. If you want depth and richness on solid black then Megs 26.

Adam's Polishes. Nothing comes close, and good people to deal with.
