Paint and waxing question
Well guys my paint is a bit dull and I noticed some bad swirl marks on the truck.
Is there anyone out there that can recommend some half decent to fix that prior to me waxing. I bought the P21 wax from the states but before I put that on I wanna prep it. Anything off the shelf from Canadian Tire or Parts Source depot that would help (ie. scratch doctor, Mothers or Maquires cleaner etc.)

Start off with Meguire's Clay kit, do that to remove any dirt in the paint. Then go with Meguire's Swirl-x or Scratch-X I have found Swirl-X works better. Then after that apply wax that you bought. I usually use Zymol but P21 should be pretty good. This is what I always do, in fact I just did it yesterday on my Jetta. Are you going to do it by hand or with an orbitor? Hope this helped, post up pics when you finish
 And now I notice you're Greek too? Kalos! Ti kanis kala?
