Thumbs up Just detailed, some questions, C2100 is awesome!

I just detailed my newly bought 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse in white and I've noticed a few things and I've got a few questions...

1. Meguiar's C-2100 Aggressive Clay (Red) is incredible. I've just posted a review about it in the Product Reviews section. I can't say enough about this stuff. Please go buy some, I'd like it to stay on the market!

2. I used Meguiar's #9 Swirl Remover 2.0. It didn't really do the job for me. Its hard to see swirl marks on white, but what kind of results should I have expected? I mean, it could have just reduced swirling as opposed to eliminating, especially b/c I'm doing everything by hand...

3. I used the Mothers Reflections Premium Polish sealant and it worked great as usual. Then I applied the Mothers Reflections Top Coat 10 minutes after I buffed out the last of the Premium Polish. I know you're supposed to wait for a bit so that the "advanced polymers" have a chance to link with each other, but how long are you supposed to wait?

4. I'm running out of Premium Polish, and its discontinued...I've got a Silver Mitsubishi Lancer and a White Mitsubishi Eclipse. As a sealant, I'd like to get either the Mothers Reflections Advanced Car Wax (successor to the Premium Polish) or the Mothers FX Synwax. Which would you get? I just noticed the Meguiars M21 (Polymer Sealant 2.0)...maybe I should try that?

Thanks in advance, you guys really helped make this car the whitest beading machine parked anywhere!

lol. no love?

I'll probably go with the FX Synwax because it would be most compatible with the Top Coat and its relatively inexpensive.

I wonder what kind of polish I should get? My Mothers California Gold Scratch Remover is pretty worthless stuff...I was thinking of getting the 1Z paint polish or maybe something OTC from Meguiars (ColorX, ScratchX, Deep Crystal polish?). Oh yeah, and I do everything by hand, so its gotta be effective polishing by hand (I've heard only 1Z can do this and some Meguiar's OTC stuff).

Thanks.
