Again, this is strongly personal preference. I swear by Meguiar's and Mother's, but there is also Klasse, Zaino, Menzerna, Eagle One, heck, they even have DuPont now. So find one that works for you, and use it. In my detailing blog, youll learn how to use 4 different products that are Meguiars and Mothers. For swirl remover, I LOVE using Meguiar's Swirl Remover 2.0 in the Professional Series with the Porter Cable 7424, (From now on, that will be referred to as the PC 7424). Which you can buy at the top of the page!
With the variable speeds of the 7424, it takes some talent to actually mess up your paint. With that being said, it is still VERY possible, so you should try and leave any heavy swirl removal to a professional.
After the swirl remover, I like to try and follow that up with Meguiar's Show Car Glaze on most applications as it does well at concealing the remaining swirls that might have been left behind. This step is more or less take it or leave it, it is not imparative, but it is helpful, mainly on darker cars.
For the next step, I really like to follow up with Mother's Carnauba Wax. It is a good thick Carnauba (that smells good), and it will last approximately 3-6 months depending on weather and storage conditions.
Next, you have a choice of a few products. This is when you want to use a good synthetic sealant such as Meguiar's NXT, Mother's Reflections, etc. These "top-coats" as they're called, have microscopic particles that fill in between the other layers of wax, causing a much more permanent seal, which also increases the longevity of the waxes.
