It claims to remove swirl marks but I have very minor spider webbing which it didn't do much to. On the other hand it gives a nice shine and the durability lasts 1-1.5 months (I wash my car almost every week though). Don't think I've even used quarter of my bottle after 6-7 applications. Unfortunately I'm going to try out some Zaino this summer. From what I hear NXT doesn't layer, and for someone like me who loves to wax, Zaino sounds like the perfect thing.
Overall in any general store with an automotive section, Meg's NXT is probably your best bet unless you go to a detailer.

Wanted to add a little review on 303 Aerospace protectant.
This is by far one of my favourite products for detailing the interior. It works like magic on many types of surfaces and doesn't leave a glossy finish, unless you apply it excessively. Applied in a car with lots of dark trim, your car will look brand new again. I also use this in the house too. You can find it at your Canadian Tire for $14, but get it when it goes on discount for half price!
One thing I advise against is using these on tires. It mentions it can be applied on tires but it probably won't even last one rain trip.

Almost all Meguiars products contain filler to fill in slight scratches. The only problem with fillers is that while they look great after application, the filler gets "washed away" after several washes. Then it's back to how it looked prior to the wash.
The best bet is to polish out as many of the scratches, swirls and spider webs using a polish or a compound so that the actual paint is defect free. Then if the wash and fillers wash out, you're still left with a scratch free surface.
With that said, it's probably one of the better OTC (over the counter) products. If you want to step up, you'll probably have to start looking at detailing stores (just ask your local detailer or check out sites like eshine.ca, carcaresmart.com, autopia.org).
