just wondering whats the best wax at hiding swirls and scratches and stuff i heard nxt 2.0 is the best is this true. If not please list what is as i probably have it as i have a lot of waxes. Thanks
 
No one wants to admit that they hide swirls. :grinno: Most detailers will say that the best thing is to remove them. Personally, I have not found anything that really "hides" swirls. I use NXT 2.0 and I have better results if I use meguiars #7 first. My car has 22 yr old single-stage paint, though. Results may differ!!
 
I have a black car and first use Mother's Paint Cleaner or Meguiar's Pre Wax cleaner. This hides the swirl marks. Then top it off with a coat of Meguiar's #26 Mirror Glaze Carnauba Wax to give that deep gloss shine.



After I am done using this two step process, my 5 year old black car shows absolutly no swirl marks and look like it has just been driven off the lot.
 
NXT 2.0 has a lot of fillers in it. It's a very underrated wax. I don't believe it last very long, but it does look good.

I've heard good things about that one, but never tried it.



There are a lot of good glazes out there that do a substantial amount of hiding. You'll want to follow them up with a good carnauba based wax to increase the length of time that the glaze will hide defects/swirls. A few to consider: ClearKote RMG, Meg's #7, or #5, P21S Paintwork Cleansing Lotion. Following one of these glazes with a long lasting and durable wax like Collinite Insulator Wax will give you good swirl hiding, excellent environmental protection, and long lasting durability.



If you want to stick with a sealant based "wax" (LSP around these parts), you might want to consider hiding the swirls with Danase Wet Glaze, then following the DWG with a good sealant, like FK1 1000P, or Ultima UPGP.



Most all glazes are oil based, so you will definitely want to follow them with a *carnauba* based LSP. Danase Wet Glaze is an exception, though, as it is sealant based, you can use a sealant LSP over the top of it.



Greg Nichols just posted some great pictures showing how well Danase Wet Glaze works at hiding swirls. Check it out here: http://www.autopia.org/forum/profes...iscussion/123034-dwg-vs-megs-7-glaze-war.html



FWIW, i have always loved using DWG, but I had no idea it would hide defects/swirls at all until Greg posted those pictures. DWG is an awesome product.
