Hello all,
I'm from India and have joined this forum few hours but have been reading much of info/posts on here past many days. This website is awesome and has plenty of info on how to keep our cars protected and shiny for many years to come.
Now that I have few queries and confusions, I thought to become a member here and be part of it.
I have recently bought a used car which is a 2009 Honda City i-Vtec. It is polished metallic color and has few major to minor scratches and dents. Of course I don't mind them either because it will cost more to fix them (since they all need repainting).
Its nearly 4 months since I bought it and have not used any premium quality car care products. Only used a polish+wax from a popular Indian company named Aeroaids Com-Paints and some of there other products. I feel their products are not so perfect. First owner didn't used any waxes, polishes. Just water+shampoo wash.
Now I have came across Meguiars, Mothers and etc. I have shortlisted the items which are available here and their queries respectively. Please advice me on which products are good to be used on my car. I will be doing all by hand and I don't have much experiences but hope its not that hard. Below are few snaps of my car and will add more soon.
*First two where taken when I just bought the vehicle and third pic is recent one which shows swirl marks. They are presently in hood, trunk top, doors, fenders and etc. First owner was careless I suppose.
Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0 - Can I use this to fix swirl marks? On the whole body? or any alternatives?
Meguiar's SwirlX is not available here but Ultimate Compound is. Ultimate Compound could be more aggressive I believe.
Ultimate Polish - Read more info about this item but still in confusion. Will this fix any swirl marks? or the above products has to be used?
Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 and Black Wax - Can I use Black Wax instead of using the both Ultimate Polish + NXT Tech Wax 2.0? or Black Wax is alternative to Ultimate Polish and needs NXT Tech Wax 2.0 to seal it? Does Black Wax contain blends that fix swirl marks? or I'm totally wrong?
Mothers California Gold Synthetic Wax or Mothers Fx SynWax - Are these better then Meguiar's in terms of durability?
Also let me know if there are any other products that I can use or are better to use but I cannot spend much as these premium products costs more here. Just want a protected and shiny car with long durability of wax. Temperature here will be from 20c to 35c+ and I drive my car once or twice a week. Most of time its covered.
Sorry for a long post. I'm kinda noob and lil confused even after reading plenty of posts here and in Meguiar's forums.
Please help me out.
Thanks...
Best Regards
