Good and bads of this wax system???
So i was at checker today and looking at waxes, it'll be the rs's first wax since the paint and i want good "off the shelf" wax ie no zaino, formula113 stuff like that. So i was looking at the meguires system and nxt wax. I have some slight swirls from when the painter was finishing it up, so wiping those out is a must. I've put this off for awhile trying to research the best waxes and stuff since this is going on a show paint job. So i am looking at
Meguires paint cleaner
Meguires polish
Meguires nxt wax
All are part of they're Crystal series waxes I want to know all the good and bad's on this from people who have used it.

I don't know about that particular wax, but I would suggest you clay bar it before anything. The Mother's clay bar works excellent.

If its for a show car why wouldn't you try anything like Zaino? Considering many people, including me highly recommend it.

The paint cleaner will get rid of your swirls. It reminds me alot of a polishing glaze. Then the polish shines your paint. And the NXT wax is the best/easiest stuff i have ever used.

How did you apply that? Buffer?, applicator pad?
