Let`s start with....What do you need a polish to do?



The goal here is to use the correct product for the job instead of trying to make a product work a certain way.

i need it to help hide a few swirls/scratches and to remove some grime the car picked up from road salt and the long periods it had gone unwashed over the winter.

Of the stuff you have, the Meg`s Step 1 is the most aggressive. It will prolly do most of what you want. If you need more polishing power you`ll need to move into something like DACP, 1Z Paint Polish, clearcoat body scrub, something along those lines.



The Step 2 and the Show Car Glaze are basically the same product. Use whichever one you like as they`ll do the same thing. Finish with the wax of your choice (synth or carnauaba, not both). Done!!



Easy, isn`t it??
