Finished Meguiars 3 Step System - Pics...

OK, so I decided to go ahead and buy the Deep Crystal System on Friday and then completed it yesterday. All I can say is WOW, my black paint looks great, and all but step 1 was extremely easy to do. The paint looks great and feels smooth enough that you would think it was just clayed. Well, it definitely started raining out of nowhere right as I was finishing up (as you can see in the pics) and had to drive it last night in the rain, so the thrill of the awesome detailing job was ruined, lol. Anyhow, just thought I would share a couple of pics (which really don't do it justice).

Ya, only 4.99 for each bottle at AutoZone and I spent a couple extra bucks buying a 3 pack of microfibers which worked very well too.

The pearl white on our cars can look incredible if it is properly detailed. I get compliments all the time, which motivates me to wax the car every 3 weeks and wash the thing everytime I see any dirt on it.
I prefer FourStar Ultimate Paint Protection on the pearl white though. You should really give it a shot. With Klasse AIO + UPP, the reflections and wetness are incredible!

What are the three products that comprise the Meg's 3-step process?

Is THIS the purplish look you refer to? I consider it more of a blue but I love how it looks.

SOONR1 - Your car looks great - good job. Ya gotta love those black Anniversary Edition Maxes. I use Meguiar's Gold Class products plus carbanuba and love the results.

Haha thanks -- won't be much left of it after tonight though -- looks like we are in for our first major snow of the season down here in the OKC area....wish I couldve waxed the car again before it happened, but its been so miserable here there has been no chance to.
