I've got white 2006 vitz, there are minor swirls and moderate oxidation. Objective is to have a long lasting finish which requires less maintenance over the time and looks great;

I plan to do this in following steps;
1. Claying, with Meg's clay kit
2. Meg's Cleaner Wax
or Meg's Ultimate Polish
or Mother's Hand glaze
I'm still confused about this step, should I polish or fill the swirls. What products shall I use for this purpose. Does it require any curing time.
Once paint is polished, what gain would I achieve by applying glaze, does "coming alive" thing happen on white paint. (If seen closely there are shiny particles in this paint, rather than flat white IMO)
3. Wax with Meg's NXT 2.0, two coats 24 hours apart. Add third coat after 24 hours of 3M performance finish to add longer protection.

I've got a rotary buffer, but I'm not confident yet, so all application shall be worked through hand.
I know these are alot of questions, but there's no harm bieng optimistic

Megs ultimate polish with hand won't really help with swirls removal (it would act as a glaze though and may fill some of your swirls and bringing up some shine). Polishing by hand also requires the correct applicators (see german applicator, wolfgang german polish wax applicator etc. Polishing with the ordinary yellow foam wont budge your swirls in any way, using your rotary (correctly) will be your best bet in your really want swirl removal.
If doing by hand, staying within the same product range would be beneficial as far as longevity is concerned. Meg cleaner wax would work well in most of the cases unless the paint needs correction thats clearly visible.
In case of Mothers glaze, your longevity of the sealant that you'll put on top will be effected as NXT may not bond that well to glaze (which tend to be oily).
Adding 3M PF on top of NXT wont bring you much benefit. If you really want a 3rd coat, do it with NXT but know that NXT has slight polishing oils, so your 2nd and 3rd applications should be light handed so as to avoid removal.

If you really after longevity, Meg Ultimate wax stays on more than NXT although you wont get the candy coated look of NXT if thats what you're after (but that look also doesn't last very long).

Tussi ustaad ho sir. Ustaads NEVER have parallels! It takes devotion, patience and passion.

ha ha Oyee baazz a jaoo saray , thread dry & slow chal raha thaa , so just give it a wet look

I am still learning to get perfect beading in which:
On slightly inclined surface small drops travel towards big drops & eventually by weight & slippery surface :* no water & no beading at the end

Teaser:

Did a heavy (and my first thorough) detailing session over the weekend (worrying the hell out of my family for spending too much time on car

For those wondering what these bottles are. This is the werkstat acrylic range which is an advanced nano version of the same Klasse AIO/Sealant german forumula.
ACRYLIC PRIME is an AIO for base prep with chemical cleaners and some acrylic protection.
TRIGGER JETT is sealant in sprayable form, provides great wet look and layers exceptionally well MashAllah.
ACRYLIC GLOSS is a quick detailer that also includes the sealant/gloss.

After I got a hook into detailing (thanks to @ahmad_yar and his detailed responses), I went looking as to whats the best i can get in a reasonable range since these products last a very long time. Thats where I found this range specifically suited for light metallics/pearly colors and no matter how much more i researched into it, I found everyone loving this product (specifically the pros and ocds) and couldn't really find a negative review about this. So I set my sights on this range and just recently got it and AlhamduLillah it has turned out to be great.

Results coming soon...

Brothers what do you say about this.
Does this shows that one day i will be able to do the detailing or not. Waiting for both positive neg comments. And tips also.

Ahmed bhai i use that 7c spray on tyres, the results was great for me. And also it was not sticky.

aoa guys
hope everyone is doing fine
just a small query regarding megs headlight protectant
i apply it by hand, it gets dried out fairly quickly and gets very hard to buff off
by hard i mean really hard, like i need to use plenty of quik detailer to get it off but still smudges remain. i end up using a cleaner wax to clean the headlight.
i tried using it like a wax and also tried working in the product, both ways it gets really hard to buff off. the product in the bottle seems fine and also smells great. i doubt the bottle is bad. i also have plastX which works just fine and also buffs off easily.
can anyone with experience of this product guide me as to where am I going wrong?
can't find any info on the bottle or the internet
