Best product for filling swirls and minor scratches?

[BudgetPlan1]

When I purchased my polisher it came with Wolfgang glaze. I have used it but with a polisher. I don't know how it would be by hand.

Although it's called Finishing Glaze, the Wolfgang Finishing Glaze contains no fillers like an actual glaze does. It's a fine polish akin to Menzerna 3500.

My finish is in very good to excellent condition. But after I polish, after a while, I can detect very light swirls. So I thought, why not use a glaze to spruce up the finish in between once/yr or twice/yr polishing sessions? I have tried E-Z Creme (this used to be the king of all glazes, nobody mentions it anymore) and PB Black Hole. Neither did squat in terms of filling. Neither did squat in terms of improving gloss. I did side by side comparisons, treated vs. untreated, no difference. So, I have pretty much given up on glazes. Invest your time and money on polishes. BTW, both EX-Creme and Black Hole, are good finish cleaners, as in the last step after polishing before applying a sealant. Also, mixed w/ IPA, pretty good tar removers.

Hey Guys,

I am very new to detailing and not quite ready to jump in to purchasing a DA and doing a proper paint correction, but I do want to at least apply a sealant. I purchased some Collinite 845, but my understanding is that this does not do much to fill the swirl marks and/or minor scratches. Since I am not doing a proper paint correction with a DA, what do you guys suggest I put on prior to 845 that will fill in some of the swirls and at least hide some of the imperfections? I am not looking for perfection, just something that will help the appearance a little.

Along with the Collinite I bought some Wolfgang Uber Rinseless and plan to apply Iron X and clay with the Nanoskin Fine Towel to prep the car for the Collinite.

I also had a question about using an isopropyl alcohol solution after claying. It is necessary to do that right before applying the Collinite or before putting down a glaze?

My car is a 2012 Altima in Steel Gray Metallic if that matters. I can add some pics later if that helps.

Love the forum!

Thanks!

the steel gray with metallic flake imo is the best color to hide swirls dirt and various imperfections. im not sure about the glaze, i use blackhole or showcar glaze but ones for black paint the other doesnt last long enough for me to recomend as a swirl hider

try menzerna top coat thats probably the best one they make
