Meguiar's No. 7 Show Car Glaze
Do you guys really notice a difference with this stuff? I used it on my entire truck along with a coat of wax and it really doesn't seem to shine anymore than it does with a single coat of wax. I applied it by hand and did small sections at a time. I was careful not to let it haze. It was much harder to buff out than wax. I do not have a DA so by hand is my only option.
Maybe the truck was already just as shiny as it could get? I did recently clay, used cleaner wax, swirl x, nu finish and wax.
Out of all of these products I have, which should I used to get the best looking finish, and in which order?
Mothers clay bar kit
Mothers cleaner wax
Swirl-X
Nu Finish
Meguiars No. 7 show car glaze
Meguiars gold class paste wax
I've kinda just been using all of them in that order about once every 6 weeks with a fresh coat of wax every 2 weeks. I only clay and use the swirl x about twice a year though. Maybe I'm wasting time?

With those products, I would use clay> swirl x> #7> gold class wax. Putting cleaner wax on and then using swirl x is a waste of time, you are just removing it with the swirl x. #7 can yield some nice results.. I have found that it makes a noticeable difference in glossiness of the paint, especially from angles. Since your truck is white though, I'm not sure that it would be as easy to see.

Cool, thanks man. Where and when (if any) would be a good time to use cleaner wax or nu finish? And what will they do?
I'll try out the method you recommend next time. Thanks again.

I agree about only being able to do so much with white.

I guess my truck is just about as clean and shiny as it's going to get. When looking down the side of the truck at dusk, you can't see any color, it just looks like a mirror. In the sun, you can't really see much shine, accept at certain angles.

From my experience #7 really comes into it's own on darker colors and metalics. White is hard to pop and even harder to photograph.
I would agree that the cleaner wax is moot if used before swirl-x.
Nu Finish looks best at the bottom of a big black trash bag.
You're already using superior products to it.
I'd echo above with my suggestion of clay, swirl-x, #7, and gold class wax to use what you already have.
I might also suggest replacing gold class with Meg's #26. It's carried in stock at most o'rielys and autozones. Other than that you can't do much more without moving to mail order.
g'luck and remember no mater what anyone says, use what looks best to you.

What do you recommend for getting into using a DA? I really know nothing about them at all. I've heard with too much buffing you can create holograms and things of that nature. I just want my truck to look as shiny as I can get it with out ruining anything.
Thank you!
