Plus using PB's SSR polish like SSR2.5, or SSR1 with a porter cable is exellent for treating swirls.

For me, spending 6-8 hours detailing a car is pure relaxation, when I can squeeze it in. I am a big fan of the whole meguires system from the clay bar all the way up to the NXT tech wax and will think nothing of using all of them in succession. For quick detail I find the Meguires clay bar with quick detailer kit is great for prep surface work. Followed by the Meguires cleaner wax, any swirl mark remover is good to finish prep stage, Gold Class wax, Tech wax and then I use the Eagle One Nano wax (didn't see it listed) with a low speed buffer, follow closely with a coat of Liquid Glass <be careful and use sparingly as prolonged useage(years) will cause paint to experience solvent pop( small star patterns forming from underside of paint. Looks like rock chip on paint but is chemically happening from paint to surface)>, Liquid Glass is good product but it eventually suffocates paint and causes condition I just mentined to happen. Positives is a great look easy application and removal, negative is you have to dust with clean towel after removal as this product leaves alot of wax residue dust, Finish off with Meguires show car Glaze, finish detail work of rest of car (tires, windows, etc..) park in the sun to let surface warm up and bake applications away from trees, and those pesky neighbors and get your sunglasses out cause the shine will kill ya. LOL!!!! This is not a regular routine for me, but when I have time to squeeze it in, you know where to find me; shining up....wiping down.

I use Zaino products on all my cars. After a few coats you'll see the amazing reflection, it just keeps getting better, water beads off for ever. I used to be a Meguiar's believer until I found Zaino
Once this CA weather clears and I place a few coats on my car, I'll post pictures.

All the products I use are Autoglym (IMO The best lineup). Radiant Wax Polish is their sealant wax + Polish. I use it because it cleans fallout, can be used in the sun, can be buffed on and buffed off. I can use it on exhausts, wheels, interior wood pieces, glass. It can be used in easy steps and I do not need to use excess product or buy different products like Megiuars. Another good thing is it stays like that for 2-3 weeks, the car still looks detailed. No need for Quik Detailers, etc....Just get a clean microfiber and buff the dust off the car. It still looks clean and does not scratch.
Its not a Pain in the *** to use, and i can detail my or any car in 2-3 hours including claying the car. If i take longer it is usually because I am colorsanding or buffing a car.
Autoglym is the official product lineup of Aston, Ferrari, Bentley, etc and has the seal of the royal crown.

Blackfire for the win!
I've used BlackFire for over a year now....I love the Polish because it is mild and it has a Glazing Effect built into the product which saves me a step and makes the car look very deep and wet!
BlackFire Wet Diamond is an awesome sealant....www.blackfireusa.com

I've used NXT, Zymol, and now I'm only using Zaino products. Nothing is as easy as Zaino in applying, short time to wait for wax to be applied/reapplied, and the shine/gloss is ridiculous. I started using it after a friend that works at a Ferrari dealership said they use Zaino on their showroom cars. If a Ferrari uses it, I think it's worthwhile for my Lexus
I also wax my window to see if it removes potential waterspots as well as dust free... and it does work. Try half the window and wait until it rains, or the next time you wash your car. You'll see the water just sheen off the glass.
