Car care WAX or POLLISH

i just had my car a month ago its a 2007 honda civic i got all the car care protection on it, they even put a wax sealer on the paint, but now i notice some swirl and realy fine scratches after one month later? what kind of cheap wax was that, i guess all cars get swirl marks, so now what is better to use pollish or wax or do i use both and which is safe to use on new cars? and which brand.

What colour is your car?

Swirls are going to happen regardless of what you do because of our water system and the microscopic dirt you do not see on your car.

Just use any type of wax.

I use meguiars deep crystal polish and NXT wax. Pretty good results so far on my car.

+1 Love the Meguair's stuff - polish, NXT wax and the new quick detailer in between washes.

My advice.

1)Clay bar (I use mother's or meguiars)
2)Polish (meguiars)
3)NXT wax (meguiars)

Takes some time to do the whole car though. Usually takes me around 4-5 hours. I do it twice a year, once in the spring, and once it the fall.

Bring your car to me, I'll do it for ya. I need the money, since I'm not working at the moment, hehe.
