There is no such wax that removes swirls, but there are waxes full of silicone which can hide swirls. POLISHES remove swirls.

Even though Zaino Z-2 and Z-5 are said to lightly hide stuff (btw they are not polishes, but sealants), I havn't seen them work that way. To hide things, I'd use something like Collinite #845, or a glaze followed bya wax, such as Clearkote's Vanilla Moose followed by some wax.

-1 on Zaino for my evo. didnt like it. left it hazy. went with a Banana Wax and a Teflon Sealant/carnuba. flawless now. lasts 4 washings...i just dry and quick detail it with a "showroom shine" product-kind of like Meguires Quick Detailer only better...

Did you just say "dish soap" to wash your car?

And wax doesn't take out swirls. It just seals everything you do before (Compunding/polishing/swirl remover).

3M's Finesse II is good. I use it at work.

ya...dish soap.....before you do the entire process of removing contaminants.....only if you plan on claying/protecting it.....I don't wash my car with dish soap everytime...only when i'm claying, polishing and waxing/zainoing.

Cleared up now?

if you think that wax can remove swirls then you are not qualified to use the products and machinery that does remove them for real. find a good detailer to teach you or do it for you.
