1) Go back to UQD - see my signature line
2. Remove the swirls completely so you're not trying to fill or mask them

Re: need help with next generation spray wax!
No.
I'm saying you have swirls in the paint that have not been dealt with.
I'm also saying to go back to the products you liked before and even mentioned my signature line which I'll copy and paste for you to read.
If you don't like the results you're getting from NXT Spray Wax then go back to the products you did like the results from. Pretty simple really.
Take the NXT Spray Wax and your receipt back to where you purchased it and ask for a refund.
NXT Spray Wax didn't put scratches or swirls into your car's paint as it's non-abrasive, if you have swirls in your car's paint then they were there before you used the NXT Spray Wax. Go back to the wax you were using and this should act to mask or fill them in and then stick with it.
Hope that helps...

To your current thread...
need help with next generation spray wax!
Doesn't matter if someone applied a wax or sealant with a buffer, that doesn't mean they removed any pre-existing swirls and it could mean the instilled some depending upon what kind of pad and buffer they used.
If you didn't see any swirls after they waxed the car and now you're seeing them then either you're wearing off the wax they used which masked or instilled the swirls or you're inducing them with the way you're working on the paint.
We don't make blanket statements about the hardness or softness of any car manufactures paint because they can change paint systems on the fly, so it's not a good idea to make a blanket statement like,
"All Audi's have hard paint"
That said, most of the Audi's I've worked on do indeed have very hard clear coats and even though the clear coat is hard it will still scratch very easily and these scratches will show up to your eyes easily.
The are also very difficult to remove.
So you need to find out where the root cause of the problem began and either address the root cause or find a wax or paint sealant 'you like' not a spray on quick product), and maintain your car's paint using a normal application of a normal wax or paint sealant.
Then you need to understand that just the act of washing and drying a car can instill swirls and scratches. Please don't think you can have someone buff out your car one time and then the finish will stay perfect forever as that's not reality. If it were reality then all new cars would all look great forever and never have any swirls and a casual walk through any store parking lot during the day will prove that just isn't the case.
Doing my best to help you out with your swirl problems...

Re: need help with next generation spray wax!
Boy ain't that the truth. My Cadillac seems to show mars by just breathing too close to the surface it seems. To make up for it they are somewhat difficult to remove....even with the G100. It's one of the (many) mysteries of life I have yet to understand....how can something be so hard yet easily scratch?Originally posted by Mike Phillips View Post

Barry coined the term "Scratch-Sensitive" when the transition from single stage paints to basecoat/clear coat paints took place, seems about right.
Love the durability of a clear coat finish, miss the ease of polishing single stage paints.
