    Most spray on "fast wax" like products will be packed with fillers to make the paint LOOK better. They usually don't last but a month maybe less. You're better off using a good sealant as a base for long term protection, and topping it with a quality hard carnauba for added depth.

    2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!

    Devils Advocate: If the filler wax and the high polish gives the same results, why does it matter? I guess it come down to personal preference. Some people want to OCD their paint, others want something that looks great to 95% of the people out there.

    Because one works, and the other one only half ass works. Even the best fillers only hide fine imperfections and they wear off over time leaving you wondering WTH happened. You'd be surprised how many people think that they got rid of the blemishes, then they start noticing them coming back and then they research and find that in fact they only filled them.

    even fillers show swirls in high sun light. compound, polish, seal, wax and be done with it.

    I've used Meguires NXT2.0 and Turtle Wax Ice with similar results.

    As long as it's clean and shiny, who cares how it got that way
