i use meguiar softwash get, and meguiar deep crystal 3step.

so i first wash the car with softwash gel, dry it. then use paint cleaner, polish and wax.

question 1: when using the paint cleaner, i apply it to the car, then wipe off before it dries. now do i need wash with water after doing this? or go directly to polishing?

question 2: when polishing, i apply it to the car, then buff off with cloth. shall i allow sometime for it to dry before buffing off?

question 3: after polishing, do i need wait sometime before waxing?

question 4: the meguiar direction says wax in circular direction, but i found mostly people say back and forth direction when wax. what do you believe?

question 5: do i allow sometime for the wax to dry before wiping it off?

thanks a lot in advance for so many questions.

 

In reference to:

Question 1 - No, you do not need to rewash the car after this. In fact, that would be overkill since one of the reasons behind the paint cleaner is removing swirl marks and minor blemishes in the paint.

Question 2 - When I use the 2nd step, I let the polish sit for just a second, then take it off. Normally, I apply a second coat of polish just for a bit of extra deepness in the black color.

Question 3 - Move straight on to the waxing. Normally, I use a polymer sealant after step 2 before I apply the carnauba wax.

Question 4 - Back and forth....most say circular just for coverage purposes, but this will result in further swirl marks.

Question 5 - Yes. I normally leave step 3 on for about 15-20 minutes since it is so easy to remove. This is really a personal preference and differences in amount of time are usual.

Hope this info helps. I have a few pics of the results of the Deep Crystal system on one of the pages on my cardomain set. Check them out and then PM me if you have any other questions.
