Good wax needed for swirls

Check out products from Griot's Garage (Car Care Products, Detailing Supplies, Auto Accessories - Griot's Garage 800-345-5789). You can go as simple as spray-on wax post wash when the car is still wet and wipe off as you would normally do to dry your car for a light wax (typically used to maintain an existing coat)...all the way to a 3-stage clay prep, sealer, and wax...to the ultimate with random orbital waxing following several steps. I do the 3-stage prep to my daily driver every 6 months and use the spray-on wax whenever I wash the car.

Almost all products are developed in-house; environmentally friendly; and I can attest, work great.

Griot has their main showroom in Tacoma, right off I-5. They also feature Saturday car show events on a regular basis.

Cheers.

Wash, then clay bar, rinse again. Then I use Meguiar's Ultimate with a random orbital to apply, requires only hand-buffing to remove. Easy on/easy off. Looks great on black car.

 

As previously stated, you will want to use a claybar first, to remove surface contaminants. For swirls, you will need something with a mild abrasive. If you do not have a polisher, I have found Zymol "Cleaner Wax" which has ground peanut shells in it, to work very well at removing minor hazing and swirls, without being overly aggressive when applied and removed by hand. It goes on very easy...a bit of work to remove..so don't let it dry on the surface and apply in shade. Looks great as is, or you can use a straight wax like P21S/S100 over the top for added gloss.

 

paint correction is the only way to truly get rid of the swirls, scratches, defects, etc... waxes and fillers are just temporary products that wash away. Proper maintenance is also very key.

 

Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover works crazy good. Short of a full paint correction, this is a cheaper/faster way to go. I imagine their waxes are just as good.
