What do you guys think of this stuff? Just want some opinions from people who have used these products before.

dthem370 · 12-26-2009, 11:07 PM

By the time the car is transported here from Japan, and you get it from the dealer, usually two months have passed at a minimum. Your paint is cured and you should not have a problem. On brand new paint however, unless something happened like the dealer prep swirled the paint, you really should not need a polish yet. If you did do one, I would use a finese finish polish and then wax. I love the Meguires NXT BTW.

Yea there are swirls in the paint when the sun is shinning on it. not many but i have noticed some. So i will definitely polish it.
