A good filler, suggestion

Well, it happens to everyone if they keep their cars long enough. Owning a black '04 G35 since new, I am realizing that I don't have much paint left to polish and so I am wondering what is a good filler wax? I don't know how long I will own the vehicle so I don't want to go to the expense of a repaint.
Thanks

Most of Meguiars stuff fills pretty well, AutoMagic HydroShine, and Bilt Hamber Auto Balm are all well known for filling light to medium swirls.

I bought Autobalm, and it covers like nothing else, but the durability was gone shorter than anything else. Too much $$$$ also

I don't mind durability, because I am willing to reapply every week if necessary to keep it looking its best. OBTW I have read a lot of people like 1Grand blitz, autoglym and RMG. Don't have any experience with any of those products at least not for the application that I need the product for.

Autoglym Super Resin Polish (the new version is meant to be a lot better than the old one)is a good solid glaze but really needs a wax or sealant to protect it. I do not think the One Grand Blitz will fill very much but the One Grand Glaze will. I have had a very different experience from Thomas Dekany regarding Bilt Hambers Auto Balm, it lasted about 2 months on my car although others have reported more and some did not get very long

I haven't had much luck with 1G Glaze or Wax filling or SRP.

In my very limited experience, Meg's Ultimate Polish/Glaze seemed to fill well and has lasted quite a while. With a coat of wax on top, of course. It gave my car a very deep radiant shine. The only thing I didn't like about it, is that you must work very quickly and NOT let it dry.

So you haven't had much luck, hmm, perhaps I shouldn't go out as spend $$$ if someone is not having the desired affect. Still on the fence as to what to get.
I am wondering, doesn't a glaze do some cutting. I know my Meguiar's speed glaze #80 does and the 3M PII
I am hoping not to take down any more paint, just something to put on top of the paint that will fill. At this moment the paint is as perfect as I can get, but will not be able to polish any more. I am putting on Collinite once a week hoping this will keep the power tools on the shelf.Last edited by bcgreen; 06-17-12 at 05:00.

Re: A good filler, suggestion
Nothing fills like Autobalm. Hard to put on, hard to get off, but it will make your car look nearly perfect.
If you want a perfect finish, You should level the paint or have a pro do it.

Re: A good filler, suggestion
He stated in the original post that he doesn't want to remove anymore clear. But as far as taking it to a pro maybe you could pay them a small fee to measure paint thickness for you to see if you are in fact getting to that point.

Re: A good filler, suggestion
I just tried the CG glossworkz glaze and it filled in all the swirls and 80-85% of the RIDS with 2 section passes. Glazed paired with a LC orange at speed 5 on a black mini cooper.
