Update - satisfaction? I think so...
Well.... Here goes the "after" thread....
The car:
1991 volkswagen Corrado
Paint Condition:
pretty bad, lots of swirls,holograms, some painted surfaces(door,roof), some water spots, basicly-everything that is wrong
, the car lost it's shine and gloss, plus I didn't wash it from August 2007 when I started my project.
Material:
NXT car wash
Clay kit+Quick detailer
ScratchX
Deep crystal polish
NXT 2.0 wax
Ultimate quick detailer
+
A pair of even coat aplicators, wash mitt, a three pack of supreme shine and a water-
magnet towel..

My impression:
The NXT car wash and the quick detailer along with the clay bar are simply amazing...It was amazing feeling the surface before and after the clay.
I washed the car, clay all over the car, then scratchx,dc polish and then one thin coat of nxt 2.0 wax.
I got very disappointed the way scratchx worked (or didn't work)....
I still have those swirl especially on the hood, I WORKED the product real hard-3 times, followed by dc polish, and nothing....
I know those swirls can be removed and it's drivin' me crazy.
As for the wax, It was nearly 40 deg today so I worked in the garage with a ventilator so the car was cool and in the shade, but the wax dried in 10 min,(I did the swipe test)
I did only one thin coat, I didn't know how much to wait before the second coat, Ill just do it tomorrow...
Anyway, if we forget about swirls for one second, I must thank meguiars and admit that the products are simply amazing, car got it's gloss and shine again, I never knew this is how the dark purple should look like.
I won't let go of the swirls, I'm gonna order a DA and fight them
(There's no way i'm repainting the whole car, it's kinda ok)
