Scratch Removal

So I have detailed a few guys car here (G'Dup13, Jadas) and decided that I finally had some time to do my own car.

3 Months ago I had Detailed the car by hand using the usual products (Claybar, Glaze, Wax).

Well I knew I had some minor scratches here that were visible and some that weren't. I wanted to test this wax I been hearing that is pretty good as far as longetivity.

Here are some pics after washing the car with Dawn and Claybaring the car.

Well after 8hrs with the PC and these products I got the job done.
With DG its hard to capture the scratches that the car had.
I thought I was done with certain panels after putting glaze and had to go back over it with swirl remover.
I did not use the compound since the scratches I had were all superficial and I tried not to use swirl remover on all the panels just the ones I thought that needed it.

Well I'm totally satisifed with the finished product.
I'm even testing Collinite 476S super wax suppose to last a long time, so we will see since this detail has to last until after winter. I topped it off with NXT at the end just to give it a little more shine since the Collinite is a little on the dull side.
