lost cause.. need help
Hey guys I have an 07 NBP TL and as most of you know NBP is hard to keep clean . When I first got the car I didnt know any better and went to the local car wash at least once a week. After that I learned about the whole wash and wax process. Ive been reading up threads on here and detailuniversity.com about everything and have been hand washing and doing everything on my car for the past few months. Now everytime I look at my car I still have alot of swirls so I want to try to try out some new products.
Ive been using the meguiars OTC stuff like the 3 step system (paint cleaner, polish, and then the NXT wax). It helped it but I want it to be like new again.
Can someone help answer some questions:
1. What is the best stuff to use to remove my swirls? I have alottttt of them.
2. Whats a good polish and wax? Ive been hearing alot about Zaino but all the numbers seem to confuse me.
3. Whats a good soap to wash the car weekly?
4. I have a 10" orbital that I bought from Autozone. Is that good enought to be using to wax it?
5. After I started looking into Zaino I saw this product called Ultima Paint Guard. Its supposedly better than Zaino. Anyone hear or experience it? http://www.autopia-carcare.com/zaino.html
Thanks alot your answers are greatly appreciated.

Zaino is pretty easy to understand after a while:
Z-2 Makes Car look better wax/protection
z-5- fills in light scratches wax/protection
Z-7 car wash soap
z-6 quick detailer.
These are the basic items needed from zaino along with a clay bar.
Your best bet is to get some four star medium cut and light cut compounds and use those after claying the car. Then follow up with some wax. I have zaino and love it. It has lasted me over 1.5 years from the inital application. All i do is put a spray of z-6 on it once a month to keep the shine there.

I've got an NBP also. When I first got it, I polished with SSR1 and sealed with Four Star UPP. Its been over 4 months now since I got it and its got a few swirls that need to be corrected. If you have a lot of swirls, I would suggest Optimum polish.
That 10" buffer wont work for removing swirls. You need to get a PC with the correct pads to get the best results.
