Meguiars products do work well. They don't seem to last that long.

NXT is real nice but it seems to last less than a week. Gold Class a little longer. If you can get some Mirror Glaze Yellow Wax, that can last longer.

The older Zymol stuff, $$$, not the stuff in Autozone, used to last a real long time.

 

Original NXT yes....

NXT 2.0 been tested to last twice as long, some say up to 15 Washes.

Gold class does NOT last that long, but to top the car off with it does help to get amazing results.

 

nxt 2.0 is definitely an improvement over the first version. if you want good meguiars otc combo, after polish add two thin coats of nxt 2.0 (allow each coat to fully cure) and top it off with M26 adding extra coats as you see fit.

 

that polish won't remove light scratches If anything it will fill them in. Removing scratches is an art. Light scratches can be removed by hand using the combination of right products and techniques. If your light scratches in an isolated area of you S2000 and you want to stick with Meguiars, I would recommend Scratch-X. If you're talking bout the whole car, doing by hand is difficult and time consuming It def looks likes there are some knowledgeable detailers here that would be a better option. If you must go at it by hand, I will give you a hint. Don't do the whole car, you will rush and it won't do any good. Do a few panels a month and a few months your car should be ok More importantly, when I was detailingl I would tell people this---Its more important, easier, cheaper, less time consuming to prevent swirls from using proper techniques then to have to constantly remove them
