Synwax is also good in terms that for me it provides better protection and the shine lasts longer, synwax has a more reflective and mirror shine as compared to carnauba's but you could always slap on a layer of carnauba on top of synwax, for this you might want to try and cure it for 8 hours, synwax for me is a little different since for me its really not a pure sealant as compared to carlack and other acrylic sealants. if you really want the scratches to go away, you might have to buy 2 products, one is swirlX and one is scratchX, you use swirlx for light swirls and scratches, and scratchx for the deeper ones.
So those Step 1, 2, 3 products, regardless of brand, are mostly for cars that, more or less, are in really tip top shape? Those that need only very minor corrections? Bigla ako nanghinayan sa mga binili ko... huhuhu But then, once ma restore ko yung exterior, ito na puwede ko gamitin

Which means, kailangan ko ng polish! Aside from SwirlX and ScratchX, any other suggestions?

Sa wax naman, kailangan ko talaga mag hanap ng carnauba...

I think before I buy anything again, pa diagnose ko muna sa inyo nila Sir Ed sa Sunday, and the other gurus who might be there

On a different note, ako lang ba o minsan ang hirap mag post dito sa forum? Ang dalas ng Page Cannot Be Displayed. Kainis, grrr. 20 mintues na, ayaw pa rin mag post... sa wakas!
