BTW all the Meguires does is fill in swirls with oils (ie petroleum products). To really get rid of swirls, you need to get them out with an abrasive.
PS I'm not talking about that wet look shown in that picture posted on this thread.

IMO it is the best wax for show-car results on black paint. It doesn't just shine and reflect, it give depth and that wet look that makes the ultimate difference.

The newest 2.0 does have some intense abrasives and removes these swirls. I would point him to Intense Polish by Menzerna, but i dont think he has the proper equipment to really take advantage of it. After i use any of the SMR's, i always use Pinnacle Cleansing Lotion to remove any fillers that are left over, then either go with a sealant/wax or glaze and wax. BTW, all i use is Souveran.. Nothing touches this stuff

Tell me about. Holding a PC for 7 hrs on setting 6 has reminded me not to get swirls in the paint.
BTW, that Cyntax is a post *****
