Meguiars without a doubt, the 3 step clean, polish and wax is amazing. In fact mine is going in to the garage in a couple of weeks for them to look at a chip on the wing, and I have asked them not to even think about putting a sponge anywhere near it, its taken 3 months to get the paintwork looking like it should have done the day it was delivered, thats thanks to Meguiars, its lifted all the fine scratches out of it.

I dont think the 3 step Meguiars would have removed any scratches as none of the steps contain any abrasive with enough cut . All it would have done is made them less noticeable by filling / masking them.

I am not questioning how it did it, but the swirls are less than they were. Meguiars website claims it will remove small scratches and swirls.

I have always used autoglym & found it excellent on all my cars.

My combo of choice for shampoo and Polish is

Zymol car shampoo - its zymol, its the daddy, and you can get it in Halfords for about £8 a bottle

finished off with Harly Wax, a carnauba paste wax, comes in a big round tin, i've had the tit 18 months and have hardly made a dent in the contents - its brilliant to apply and leaves a brilliant finish
