first of all turtle wax is some bullshit, either return it or burn it... get 3m Swirl mark remover, that is the shit right there it works wonders. but just so you know when you use the swirl remover all your polish will be taken off, thatr why you polish AFTER you swirl remover and paint clean/clay bar. Polish is always right before wax, since wax is the final step Also itd be helpful if you had a buffer, unless your into really putting some ass behind it using your bare hands... with 3m SMR i think it has diminishing abrasives that work down the siwlrs, the more you rub it in, the finer the abrasives get and the more effective the product is. hope that helps, good luck
