Swissvax and Fuzion
Swissvax on the 07 Bluetec and Fuzion on the 99 Expedition. More July-09 pictures are in my album. The black cars looked good before but now look even better.
I love Swissvax

It is absolutely just that; flat and swirless. My goal is to inspire others to make their cars look great; even older cars can look flawless like my 1999 Ford Expedition which after 128k miles, never garaged and facing the elements. The only limitations are time, effort, patience to get it done right and some funds for easily available material and equipment.

Where did you get the Swissvax and Fuzion.
I see you are from Jersey also and just down 295 from me. I'm in Merecerville.

Whites and Silvers also look great as can any other light color. I can speak for these colors since my other two cars are White and Silver.
Don't let me fool you with Swissvax and Fuzion; these are final wax coats to protect the paintwork and provide ultimate shine and glow you see.
A full detail should include:
Wash to remove old wax etc., Clay to remove contaminents followed by a gentle wash, buff out swirl marks using various grades of swirl mark removers depending on level and depth of swirls and remaining paint thickness on vehicle, wash to remove residue left from removing swirl marks, use paint conditioner if required (useful on older cars), then use a good paint sealant to provide 3-6 months of protection, let sealant soak for several hours or overnight, buff to a shine, wax and buff, wax and buff and then paintwork should look amazing. I am not sure if I missed any steps.
Regular maintenance and cleaning is somewhat simpler but required nevertheless.

Definitely not the way to take care of your car! Most newer cars today have "CLEAR COAT"...wax, buffers, swirl mark removers all have abrasive materials in them that will KILL your clear coat....I use Zanio....because it works! Check them out on the web.....or better yet look at vetteforum or Porsche forum and see how many guys there are true beleivers!

I don't see Zanio being used in top detailing jobs with pictures on this page. This is the Mercedes Benz forum, why would I look up a Porsche forum when I have enough reading material here.
Even my 1999 Ford Expedition has clear coat; clear coat has been in use for some time now. Assuming a goal is to remove swirl marks, one needs to know which abrasive and how much and with which pad/s and buffer to use. Always commence with a mild abrasive swirl mark remover with a least aggressive pad then work your way up to get the desired result.
There are several excellent 'How to' articles/stickies on the first page of this detailing forum; it may be worth your while going through these.
