    Pre wax cleaner or 3m swirl mark remover?

    My wife's 2 year old Jeep Wrangler has a tough daily driven life with summer heat, and winter snow and salt. After blue dawn wash, then clay bar, I typically use pre-wax cleaner with a 7424 and 4 inch white or blue pad. However this time the finish still felt a bit rougher than I like even...
