Car Washed, fully clayed and washed again - what should i treat it with now ?

Given my car a good TLC session today and now want to protect my invested time.

I've a choice of 3 products in the garage - AutoGlym resin polish, Meguirs NXT Wax and Collinte 676 (think that's the number)

Which product(s) would you use ?

I've a couple of scratches, should I take them out on their own before the all over process ?

TIA,
Mike.

Super resin then the colly (476 I presume dont think theres a 676) and your laughing As for the scratches, depends on how bad they are I would say but sort them to your satisfaction before the wax/ sealant stage

If you use the SRP then you need to finish it with a wax or the fillers will all wash out.

Me, I'd definitely go with the NXT.

Well i did the SRP and it looks stunning - put the collinite on top and not a difference, still if it seals it all in for the winter I don't mind

It seals it in for the next 3 or 4 washes.. but next time you have to do it, you'll find it will be quicker, since you're starting from a smooooth surface.

The looks are all in the prep, i.e. clay, polish glaze etc.
