I always used Meguiars Gold Class and it looked good but still had some swirls.
A friend talked me into buying a whole Zaino setup but haven't used it yet because it just looks too time consuming............maybe I am lazy but i am gonna try to zaino it this spring when I get it out of storage.........

I use meguiars for everything. Usually the cleaner wax, or a 3 step cleaner/polish/wax once a year or so. Sometimes I use the gold glass, but I think it's harder to take off, and doesn't make a huge diff. in shine. However, I don't use ANY kind of polish on the rims....polish is an abrasive, and unless you have some bad pitting or baked on brake dust, using a metal polish will wear away the finish on your rims, and eventually do more damage then good. Iv'e seen it happen first hand on someone else's car. I only use a cheap no-name carnuba wax on the rims, after a good cleaning. All you need for good condition rims is something to protect them from dust and dirt, not an abrasive every time. I only use the wax, and they gleam from it.

Wallmart sells a spray wax in can and is about $5. I use it in the summer before I go to the track and after to remove the #'s on my car and rubber on the rear and does a great job at that and even tar. Can be used on windows and wheels and doesn't leave a white film. I have a silver car, so is very forgiving. But I normally wax the car at the start of summer with a couple coats of NXT, every 2 weeks wash it and between washes I use the spray wax, for the entire summer between washing. I normally do a clay bar before the first wax, since my z28 is a daily driver. The same stuff at wallmart is sold under a different name at racetracks from vendors for about $15 a bottle, the brand wallmart sells is cheaper, works just as good and smells the same. Works like in the video for that fukkenwax stuff...

I just want something that's easy and doesn't take forever to do the whole car, to keep it looking nice and waxed and mostly to hide the swirls and scratches...

well we waxed my gf's car saturday with the meguires gold class it worked well but her neighbor has a 2006 caddilac dts with dubs he's making a show car. he swear that this eagle one stuff is the best. i watched him use it sene there driveway it right next to my gf and it really worked well all little swirls and scratches were gona and it left a nice smooth feel, hes also got about 7 coats of wax on it in the last 2 months. but he has used meguires and mothers everything but he said the eagle one has been the best so far and it looked it, i bought some at walmart for 9.99 its in a gray bottle has a push down top like a soap dispenser it also works even in the sun and is easy to take off.
