Best brand for polishing (get rid of swirls)?
 
So I'm at college... stricken for time, money and sleep.

What's the best... yet reasonably priced polish/coat I can purchase.

Plus... rinse car, lather with soap, rinse car, wash down with water, polish, wax, detailers, glass cleaner?

if your car still has clear then use ICE its easy,fast and it works but if your cars clear coat is kinda bad then its gonna take a lil bit more time to polish but ya ICE works really good

Sorry man, but Ice is crap

Easy to find / cheaper stuff like Mothers and Meguires should get the job done. Just get some microfiber towels, and a bottle of something carnauba based. Take your time and it should turn out great

Well youcan'tthrow all the kudos in everycategoryto one vendor, but as far as having a variety of products, effectivenessandoverall valueare concerned, I would say Meguiars.There are some productsthat I prefer for certain results over Meguiars, but the majority of mycollection isMeguiars.I don't have experience with Mothers full line of productsbut the ones I've used work great and they havea good rep. Meguiars carries products for everything you mentioned as they have a wide variety of polishes, waxes, washes, detailing tools, towels, their own signature DA polisher, pads, clay kits, compounds, the list goes on....

But likeI said, you can't give all the honors to one vendor...

Bananaboat, if you're trying to save your clear coat coming off, nothing will fix that but a repaint...

it works good if you have a good clear coat but if you dont you have to use the other stuff...ive used the 3Mfoam polishing pad glaze and there other products but the downside to that is that its like 35 buck a bottle:(
