The best "swirl masking" wax?

best concealing program...

autoglym srp or poorboys world black hole, or danase wet glaze or chemical guys ezcreme twice then an application of bit hambler autobalm and then some prima hydro spray wax...that could fill the grand canyon...however at that point it just be easier to get a pc and some m83 and achieve the same level of correction

Yeah, but that's assuming the paint could stand another round of correction. I have a few vehicles that can't take any more significant abrasion.

Fortunately I don't have much to hide, so Autoglym SRP topped with wax works fine. IF I needed better concealing, I'd go with DWG.



I'm out-of-date on this stuff, not having tried any of the newfangled products. I've gone through a lot of Meguiar's Pure Polishes (and even #9) over the years, but there's better stuff on the market these days. IF/when I ever get those cars back into service, maybe I'll have a better answer, but they've been mothballed for a while.



Sure do love how the SRP/Souveran combo looks on the Jag though...
 
Meguiars Glaze is good at filling, #7 or #3



Zymol Ebony is also good at filling



Poorboys Blackhole is pretty good



SRP is good but it does have abrasives in it so it can soften the edges as well.



Zymol HD Cleanse is also very good, possibly the best.

Satin Silver beat me to it! PB Black Hole, I'd personally then top with Collinite 467S,I also hear good things about Danse Wet Glase as a great 'filler' not tried it myself yet buy plan to in the New Year when I finaly work through my stock of 3Ms Impiral Hand Glaze.

I actually used this combo just last month. PBBH topped with Collinite. I had a hard time removing the Collinite. I think the black hole leaves some sort of oils behind or something. Not sure.
 
What has recently blown my mind is how well KSG fill swirls. I was playing around with layering some stuff on the trunk of the S4. I put down 6 layers of DWG, SRP, #21 and KSG in taped off areas. The KSG filled the swirls better than anything else, by a long shot. I noticed that AutoGeek said KSG was the best swirl filler, but I thought it was just a sales pitch. I'm gonna grab some pics in the next few days to show the difference.

Huh, talk about "YMMV"! My experience was that KSG does zero concealing, and that was with many (at least six) layers of KSG :think:



In fact, I'd often wondered why it *didn't* fill for me, what with my "it leaves a thick plasticy layer!" view of the stuff.



(Now nobody take that as some sort of :argue between yakky and me. It really is just one of those things where experiences apparently differ.)

We sure do seem to have some different experiences, I guess all paint is different. I know some products work amazingly well on some surfaces, only to fall flat on others. Good reason to keep a well stocked set of detailing cabinets! Anyway, I didn't want to thread jack too much so I posted my own thread:

well theres the possibilty of me purchasing a black car if everything looks good in the engine department so on this occasion, the colour will have to take a back seat over a good bargain. unfortunately black shows everything and it would be appreciated if people could recommend a good "swirl masking" wax since i do not have access to a DA or rotary. anything including products from the local motor factors would be good as it will be an everyday car so concours looks will not be a priority thanks.

Megs NXT2: Easy to apply and remove. Deepens colour and masks light swirls.

Megs Gold Class: Does not deepen as much as NXT2, but is very glossy and hides swirls.

Swissvax Onyx - excellent on blacks and dark colours.

Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine - a bit difficult to buff off. Formulated to hide swirls.



The ultimate cover-up, based on my experience, is:

Swissvax Cleaner Fluid (pure polish) + Swissvax Onyx (their lowest-end wax).

1z polish and wax is a great one step. If fills and leaves some protection behind.

Is that AKA "Metallic Polish and Wax", the pink stuff in the red can?



Speaking of 1Z stuff that conceals, their WaxPolishSoft is good too and makes a nice base for LSPs like Collinite.
