The OP sounds like they are new to dealing with swirls, scratches any form of paint correction in general. Personally, I would just get some OTC Meg's ultimate compound and since he probably doesn't have a buffer, just do it by hand and live with the results.. or get the jeep professionally...

Originally Posted By: dparm The newer M105 formula with super-micro abrasives is quite easy to use, in my opinion. I've used it by hand and been pretty happy with the results. Agreed, M105 is just a plain awesome and easy as pie to work with, via hand or machine. I do have FG400, M101 and use...

I'm on my 5th gallon of Aquawax and never had any issues applying over a dry car, or on top of any sealant I have used, including BFCS, opti-seal or UPGP. Darn near every car I detail gets a quick coat of Aquawax after whatever LSP I used that day.

Originally Posted By: dparm Thanks for the birthday wishes. I'll probably use the Nanoscrub and Iron-X to clean the paint (my car is white) and then use M105 + M205 to polish out any minor oxidation and scratches it has. The paint is in decent shape already. I still have some Klasse AIO & SG...

I've use that rust-oleum touch up paint before and it works just fine. The color match is where the quality lies with most touch up paints. And I never use the brush or marker tip that comes with the paint.

More than likely your going to have to polish the window with Cerium Oxide Glass Polish and some glass polishing pads. Glass can be a real PITA to correct and on a windshield, you have to worry about distortion and heat when polishing the glass. If the "streaks" are indeed micro scratches in...

A good majority of the cars I detail aren't maintained at all have some serious baked on brake dust, I have a set of the woolies, a daytona speed brush, an oxo bottle brush from Target, and a bunch wheel/spoke brush. I do use the middle wheel woolie quite a bit, but it doesn't offer enough...

I have a Mecline foam lance hooked to my pressure washer, sprays thick foam and looks like shaving cream on the car. I love it. Excellent for a good presoak.

If you applied it super thin, it will hold up amazingly well. 845 (and all the Collinite products) really are great. And better yet, it's more cost effective than many of the inferior OTC products since you use so little per application, which you found out.

Originally Posted By: LC G Gary did someone sh-t in your cereal today? Never said it was mint or showroom. It looks nice because I take care of it, not because of some magic wax or sealer. With all the miles I put on there are some chips in the paint, but it does shine as nice as the day I...

Originally Posted By: LC I have 194,000 miles on my Milan and it sits outside 24-7 It shines as nice as the day I bought. If I had a nickle for every one of my customers that has told me that their old car was as shiny as the day they bought it because of some wax or sealant they had been...
