Firstly, Megs White Wax is an AIO (polish-clean-protect) utilising abrasives (mechanical) cleaner as oppose to other 'normal' AIOs with chemical cleaners. Defects/swirl removal abilities would be quite mild (minimal) especially by hand application. It would improve the 'shine'/gloss but don't expect it to remove much of the defects/swirls.

Secondly, Collinite 476S and Soft99 Fusso Coat are basically products that performs the same function - to protect the paint. The former is of an 'older' tech formulation and the latter is a more modern formulation. I haven't tried the Soft99 before but, personally, I doubt that it would last much longer than the Colly. You don't really need to do a round of IPA wipedown after using Megs White Wax, but it would help with the durability as waxes/sealants bonds better to a clean surface...much like glue...

My personal suggestion is that, after you've finished with the washing and claying, just go on and do a little bit of paint/deep cleaning with Megs White Wax with EITHER your Megs mf or foam pad (I would suggest the mf pad cuz it is slightly more aggresive) and afterwards just put on a layer of EITHER Colly OR Soft99. If you still want to add on another layer, I would strongly suggest using the same wax as you *might* get incompatibility issues if using a different one. Maybe later on, after a month or two or anytime you decided to re-do, go for another round of Megs White Wax and use the other one. If you're curious on whether the two waxes are compatible with each other and would improve the durability, why don't you do one section (or even half the car) with one wax on top of another and see whether it makes a difference or not in the long run. Comes to think of it, even Megs White Wax *could* have the same issues so why not just straight away put a layer of wax right after claying on a small section....just for comparison sake....hahaha.

What I'm trying to say is, now that you have 3 different products from 3 different brands, it's better if you try a few combinations yourself and see which one you prefer and suits you best. What we can do is just guide you with some basics but it's really up to you to choose which method SUITS YOU THE MOST.

And about the Hex-logic pads, I'm not sure they would make much of a difference if you're working by hand. The stiffer pads would have an advantage if you're trying to remove defects but I'm not too sure Megs White Wax is the proper products to go with that...and again...especially if you're working by hand. Maybe you should look at the stiffer pads and a heavier cutting polish/compound when you've decided that you want to do some heavier defects removal. By that time, I would think you'd also be looking for an entry level machine to help you out...believe me you will after doing a round of light polishing and waxing.... sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

Another thing, BSD is a great topper and so easy to apply and it's also quite durable. Use it after your next wash (after the proper polishing/waxing session) and you might not even consider using the Colly or Soft99 for quite some time..... whistling.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif

Anyway, don't forget to HAVE FUN ya.....

Clay  - got the 3M and PermaGlass Clay bar. Advise me which claybar is the best for white paint. Will use ONR clay lube dilution as clay lube.

*
I have use both,

Most 3M in the market is either oem or fake, i think i got the fake

3M, is harder to mold back from Permaglass clay, need to rehydrate after storage or it become hard


PG clay easier to remold , pickup better but it leave some clay bits like eraser

both pickup surface contamination well or use alternative like clay sponge(Osren, Optimum) or clay cloth

Using Osren' Tar Remover recently on two cars, the first car is only one year old and the tar can easily dissolved with one application.
For the second car, it is around 2 and half years old, some of the tar seems can't dissolve at all even I apply tar remover for second time and rewipe again.
So, does tar gets hardened over time? And how frequent can we use tar remover on car? My daily car always travel in dusty areas, I am afraid frequent use of tar remover can spoil the paint quality?
Thanks.

Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax = Shampoo with tiny bit of wax. Poor durability
Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash = Pure shampoo

Better to use a normal shampoo then UQW after each wash

2. If I wash using the shampoo every week or two week, without waxing, how would it be compared to if i wax it?

1. Yupp
2. For sure you will have a better looking finish & superb water repellent-cy if you can wax after each wash. Up to date, I nhave yet to finish off my wax/sealant since 2006 biggrin.gif

Depending on how dirty your rim is... start with the least aggressive cleaner first.

1. Car Shampoo
2. All Purpose Cleaners
3. Degreasers
4. Acid Based cleaners

For my weekly wash, I normally use Osren's Multi Clean (10:1) or Meguiar's Safe Degreaser (4:1) (discontinued) or Valet Pro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner 5:1

Those turtle wax hard paste liquid wax can last how long? Few month or 12 month as advertised? If I waxed once per month, will it have a few layer or only 1 layer? Cz previous wax will cause new layer to wash out?
