Meguiar's No. 7 works for me...
I made the mistake this winter of using a crap load of "high pressure wax" at the self serve car wash. It left spots all over my car for more than a month even after 2 or 3 washes. A few people recommended Meguiar's no 7. I did the entire car today. Best stuff I've ever used. Spots are gone. I almost want to do a second coat.

Just Megs #7?
If so, you're not done yet:
It's a polish, so once you get your corrections done (swirls, spots, etc), you still need a wax and/or a finishing product/sealer.
If you like it now, you'll probably faint after a good wax.

.... polish with No. 7 Show Car Glaze and follow with your favorite wax ...

What else could I use besides wax for a finisher/sealer?
It took me almost 3 hours to do the no 7.

So can I use meguiar's ultimate quick detailer to kind of seal no 7? I am motivated now to finish it off (That's what she said) with anything but wax.
The quick detailer is a synthetic polymer I believe, so I'm wondering if it's better then nothing. Or would I be taking off the No 7 with it?

I like the Megs NXT wax. Then I'm still using 4-Star UPP for the last step product. QD is more for touch up/maint after a regular wash.
You guys need to check in at the Wash & Wax sub-forum: https://acurazine.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=23
The polish is completely removed when you're done; it leaves little or no protection. So what the OP has right now is some very nice, clean paint, but not much (if anything) to enhance and protect it.
It'll really rock with a good wax and/or sealant.

Ok, I finished the job right. Though I just used a spray wax it was better then nothing. Man I would love to drop this bitch and do many more mods, but I promised myself I would not do that again to my everyday vehicle. I will wait till I can have a toy.

. My steps are: car wash, apply/wipe off with ultimate compound, apply/wipe off with NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0, followed by ultimate quick detailer spray and wipe off. I also switch pads when applying the ultimate compound & NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0. All done with my Meguiars D.A. polisher with different pads .

But I know how much hard work it is to do it all by hand. With a good orbital you can do twice as much work in the same amount of time.

Good job Rider. Glad you were able to get the water spots off. Many times, I always have to use a power sprayer for my Type S. You've just got to be careful to wipe it down right away.

I am amazed of the condition of this one as well. Previous owner had kids and the only way I know that is their is a divot in the back seat leather from the car seat. Other then that, it's flawless. Don't know how he/she did it...but I ain't complaining.

I would venture to say that a QD, is not nearly enough of SEALANT protection, as far as strength, longevity, and the ability to evenly cover all the paint.
Polishing your car strips the wax which is your protection, and riding around without it is well.... I dont even want to say.
Just looking out for ya and that pretty paint, its flawless, lets keep it that way.
