is it the deep crystal system?
If so it is a fairly easy system and does a pretty fair job.
Just follow the instructions on the back of each bottle.
You may want to clay your car prior to getting into the 3 part system

yes it is the deep crystal system, but it says nothing about time inbetweeen coats, so i assume i shouldnt have to wait right... and i was thinking about claying but now i mos definatly will

you don`t have to wait in between products...
I used to use the deep crystal system... but then i tried some of the products mentioned here, and did see a difference..

Yep you can buff off the paint cleaner go straight to polish and then the carnauba wax

I bought some other stuffs and stopped using the Deep Crystal system as well.

I too used the Deep Crystal system for years...it is a very good system....there is always a newer, better system...I have since moved on from DC however it was my introduction to the higher level of detailing that many of us on DC aspire too...if you have it by all means use it...the basics are there...clean..polish...then protect. You will get a nicer result than you would with almost any single product because you are prepping the paint before you protect it...as you will read often on here the more you do to prepare your finish the better the final result.
