Best Wax & Swirl Removal

For those who don't have the ceramic coating, what brand of wax are you using to remove swirls and get maximum shine? I've used Zaino for a number of years but if there is a better product, I'm willing to change. Thanks

wax is only going to hide the light swirls...


that doesn't solve the problem. In order to get rid of swirls you need correction.

If you're just looking for a good wax, i use dodo juice on my past cars. lasts pretty long, smells good, and easy to apply/and buff off.

I use Menzerna products for swirls and light scratches with the appropriate pad. I have the Flex 3401 that has served me well over the years. As for waxes, polishes and glazes I have tried different things. I have Chemical Guys Black Light and White Light also the mighty Colinite 845 wax. I also use Garry Dean's Detail Juice for detail spray and clay bar lubricant.

Agree with the above--wax alone will not remove swirl marks. The order from least abrasive to most is: wax; scratch remover/polishing compound; and rubbing compound. You had better know what you are doing with anything more serious that Maguire's scratch remover and any use of a motorized wheel buffer--I leave the more serious matters to my body shop--even if it is just a quick buff of a scratch, etc. My M5C is Black, so I accept my limitations in terms of ability!

For wax, I like Maguire's Tech 2.0 Wax. Good wet shine. There are many, many good products, and I am sure many much better than the "over the counter" product I use.

Good luck!
