Best Filling wax

9935annivgt- Well, I for one think it's great that you're doing this, and I'm confident that you'll make it look a lot better and, more importantly, make the woman happy.



I even hope you post pics about it. Hey, not like every car detailed by an Autopian is gonna be Pebble Beach caliber. Some of the most satisfying details I've ever done were on hopeless case cars, if only because of how happy the owners were.
 
Thanks Accumulator, I hope to I have set aside two days in late may to do it and see just what we can do. It will probably not be to my usual standards but I am sure it will look much much better.

For something off the shelf, yeah. I love Meg's products, but their current sealants/waxes are very lackluster, just middle of the road stuff. If you need off the shelf, get TW Platinum, it fills as well, might last longer and doesn't stain trim.

You know what, I have a jar of TW Platinum and I absolutely love the way it looked, and I did notice it's filling abilities. I just wasn't sure how it compared against the Tech Wax 2.0 in that department.
 
This hasn't been mentioned, and I can't tell first hand, but OCW claims to "hide" swirls.



Optimum Car Wax with UV is helps hide the swirl marks without creating new ones

Silver Jag has hit the nail on the head, for all the marketing words from everywhere the only combos which i think really hide the swirls and make them stay away is a good hit of Amigo > Epic > BG and maintain with hydro!



Filling with wax as a last option IME tends to be a short term fix, filling from the start lasts alot longer and does a much better job.

that is funny, guess they tested the products on the same panel:

Some time last year I bought Bilt Hamber Auto Balm for hiding swirls and light scratches, because I couldn't justify spending $400 on a detail, and I don't own a PC. The stuff went on and buffed off easy and gave the car a decent shine, but in the end, you can still see a lot of the imperfections on the paint. Basically, don't expect a cureall.



I'm still unhappy with the way my car looks, so I'm probably going to look into picking up a PC. Honestly, polishing the car is your best bet if you are a perfectionist like myself.

Agree with this one, BHAB is quite a miracle filler/sealant/wax for light swirl and scratch, decent result and protection. But can't beat a fully prepped car
