Hi Mike et. al.,
I hope I didn't screw up too bad. After 10 hours polishing my hood and learning to use my Porter Cable DA, I accidentally used cleaner wax (Mothers California Gold Brazilian Cleaner Wax) instead of a Finishing Wax. Note I did not work the Cleaner Wax...I simply applied like Finishing Wax, let dry, and buffed off. It looks pretty good. But I was concerned I might have introduced some scratches with the Cleaner Wax.
So, which of these should I do?
1. Do a Finish Wax over top of the Cleaner Wax?
2. Strip the Cleaner Wax with paint prep and then do a Finish Wax?
3. Chill out man... you don't have to do anything. Besides your paint is 25 years old
Thanks!

**EDIT: It looks like the Cleaner Wax introduced swirls
Do I need to do a full Megs 205? Or is there a lighter treatment that would be acceptable. In other words, what would be the quickest way to remove the swirls that the cleaner wax introduced?
***EDIT 2: Thanks everybody! I have decided to chill
There is still a long way to go. I'll probably apply Megs Finishing Wax since I'll use that on the rest of the car.
