I really like the scratch X. Did you strip the wax off first with hand wash soap or did you just use regular car wash.

other than that looks super

looks really good man, Meguiars makes some good products....but there is a local detail shop about 2 miles form my house called "Car Brite" and they have alot of amazing stuff too. I'm using some stuff called "Crystal Shine"...and I buy it by the gallon....it works really well...but it's a polish not a wax. Have anyone ever used any of the Meguiar Polish before? Is it any good? Also....has anyone ever used anything good to "wipe and and wipe off" on a black car that's any good? That's my biggest problem right now... finding any good liquid wipe on and wipe off product that dosen't streak or haze or anything....

my biggest problem is drying off, i use the rubber blades, because every towel ive tried leaves dust and fibers, and im pretty sure thats what leaves most of my swirl marks when i wax.
