I'll put my vote in for Mother's Reflections - easy to apply and remove, incredible, long-lasting shine. Tried many of the newer nano-waxes over the years, this is my favorite.
Used this on my BMW 8 months ago, and yet another person asked me a couple of weeks ago what kind of wax I use (still looks like its freshly waxed).

I will even say that paint isn't really new anymore once you get it in the dealer's hands & they 'prep' the car for sale & delivery.
The swirls and scratches could appear from contaminants trapped in the applicator pad or in the removal towel.
Most swirls are added during the washing and drying process so utilizing good technique with quality products is critical.

1) IMO there is no such thing as "new" paint.
2) AIO sealants (with cleaners) really can't cause any scratches when they are usually cause by other variables before it reaching the sealant stage.
Plus the abrasives are so mild or non-existent that it goes back to one's equipment causing the marring.

I think where we are apart -still - is that:

2) AIO sealants (with cleaners) really can't cause any scratches when they are usually cause by other variables before it reaching the sealant stage.
