I only use the cleaner wax to fix any small problems and to completely prep the paint after using their compound or SwirlX before I polish the car
I generally will:
ClayBar,
Compound or SwirlX,
Cleaner Wax,
Show Car Glaze #7
NXT 2.0
Gold Class Carnauba Wax

I'm going to throw my amateur opinion in here, but from what I've noticed, the Meguiars cleaner wax is much easier to remove than their NXT wax, the NXT really seems to "stick" to the paint.
Also, any tips for using the orbital buffer? I have enough small scratches that it is driving me nuts, but don't trust myself to remove them.

Yes that has been how it is for me at times. but the cleaner wax is not for protecting or making it shine like NXT is.

compound and swirl x pretty much the same thing but the compound is better. Id just drop the swirl and save yourself the 5 bucks for the Meguries Ulitmate compound.
cleaner wax is good but its still a light compound
the gold class is pointless
Try this. Please

This is a buffer
This is not a buffer but a DA
^ dont let em fool you thats not a buffer
The reasoning. When using a high speed buffer you are able to heat up the paint, giving you the ability to remove light scratches and blemishes. Where as by hand you cannot create that kind of heat.

Both of the pictured tools are indeed buffers, they're just two different types. The first one is a high speed rotary buffer, the second one is a random orbital or dual action buffer. I can go into alot more detail than that but that's the gist of it. Feel free to ask questions if you have them

i kind of disagree saying you NEED a buffer, or random orbital, i picked out a 2 sq inch area on my car and got rid of all the swirl marks in about 15 minutes, but had super sore arms haha, so get a buffer or someone that really knows what theyre doing to do it, like jonny
btw jonny, i believe that time is coming soon haha

What is better to use for those unsightly swirl marks, a rotary, an orbital or a DA? Forget by hand, that would take forever!! I have a waxmaster buffer, but it only has one speed and gets about 2500revs... I'm told that's too slow, and need something faster. I've used it with Meguiars 105 and 205 compounds, and the car looks AMAZING, it's smooth as glass, but still has some swirl marks in it. I really would prefer NOT to spend a whole heap of cash on a new device, but if I NEED too, I will, Gritos Garage has some VERY nice and VERY pricey products, including a 6" and 3" orbital with pads.
