Eagle one "wax as you dry"

I just bought this stuff and im about to go wash my car, and wax as i dry. The day i got my ride painted it was looking bad ***, then a week or two after i noticed a lot of light surface scratches, i tried some of that "scratch x" by meguires and didnt notice any differences. I realized that i will need to have them buffed or waxed out, hence this product. Before i do anything to my car i'll regret (like begin to wax, then notice swirls which are way worse then light scratches, then quit halfway through) does this product really do more good then harm? I tried to use wax on my friends 5.0 with him and we left a lot of streaks and swirls, wax is hard to apply by hand.

The best stuff I ever used was Meguiars Cleaner Wax $5. The easiest to put on and take off. Doesn't leave a lot of residue on the car, and gave me the best shine. I'd say give it a try, if you don't like it just return it to Wal-Mart or Autozone.

This pic is with spray on polish.

I think "carnuba" .. if thats spelled right its the best. But its made by mothers. It doesnt harm clear coat at all. Some of that other stuff has light abrasives that scratch you paint. Used for polishing some stuff or getting scratchs out. But mothers has none of that in it and shines it up real nice.

>check it out I even used it on my rims and it still looks great

I recently used the cleaner wax too, I bought it awhile back but I still had the Eagle One wax (which is GOOD stuff)but I finally used it and it was easy to apply and take off. I would go take pictures of it right now but its raining and overcast and nasty so that will have to wait. But, it does look really good when its done I think

Later on Ill be buying Zaino...
