Finish First/Zaino/4 star/Klasse/Auto Magic/and my all time favorite Perfect Auto Finish Ultimate Paint Seal. for the record a synthetic is not a wax, it is a polymer.

Meguiars NXT is the best as far as I am concerned.

i like the nxt for its ability to fill in swirls and its ease of removal, i can do the entire car in about 35-40min. the downside is that it doesn't last very long.
Ultimate Paint Seal is great and the results are astounding, especially on dark colors. i will need to get ready for spring with an order to Perfect Auto Finish. looking forward to trying Gary's water based dressing.

I got my order filled of Paint sealant, clay bar and Tire Dressing, so I'm all set for spring. The Tire Dressing works great! It's best when it's not due to rain for a few days though. Since it's water based, I noticed that if I do the tires one day and it rains the next, the dressing comes off pretty fast. However, I'd rather go and redo the tires than use an oil based dressing that will eat into my tire sidewalls. Highly recommended. I'm still trying to get my non-PT friends to get hooked on Gary's products.

[8)] Cruise on!

Gary, have a quick polish inquiry. I seem to have some pretty good swirls in particular locations on my PT (hood and hatch mainly) I use Meguiar's polish, but it only seems to help a little. Is there something else out there that you recommend? I believe I remember you saying that Meguiar's is a little more aggressive than your polish. Again, what do you suggest?

Try Meguiars #9 swirl remover. remember that no matter what product you use, working by hand you are limited to getting the correct results. Buffers (the correct ones) will do some amazing paint correction. Give #9 a try and work side to side motion and see if that helps. Gary
