Re: clear coat swirls and scratches (Bishop22)
imperial hand glaze should be followed with a wax (klasse SG, mothers, blitz)
if i recall correctly, imperial hand glaze and swirl mark remover do the exact same thing, so applying them both won't do much good. i think the only difference is that the smr is for dark colored cars, whereas the IHG can be used for any color.
I just used IHG followed by klasse SG and mothers carnauba on my black jetta and it looks amazing. hope that helps, good luck detailing

Meguiars has a 3-step system. Starting with, you guessed it, number 1.
1..Clear Coat paint cleaner - Wipe on, buff in, wipe off.
2.. Polish - wax on, wax off. Very good Daniel-san
3..Wax - ditto. This system fixed the nasty oxidation and swirl marks on my black S-10. The truck has been on both coasts of the US and all through the deserts of the SW USA. The paint was in rough shape. Oxidizing and faded to a kind of hazy dark gray. Did the system and it looked beautiful. Now if only it ran as great as it looked. Oh well, its not mine anymore, I got my GTI and ditched the other beast. Sweetest looking bucket I ever owned though. Meguiars is available in almost any auto parts store.
