please post some 'clean' pics after using this system? i've been thinking about it, but not sure if the 3 stage, i.e. 3 applications over the whole car is going to be better than clean and polish??

help me decide ;)

It will definatley be better as :
Step 1 cleans the paint and any contaminants
Step 2 is the Polish and
Step 3 is a wax to protect your freshly cleaned and polished paint.

Remember thin layers of everything, anything more is a waste.

I have used Step 1 on a machine polisher and it works fantastic! But i use loads of different stuff - hardcore detailer.

If you have NXT wax i would use that before step 3 for a great shine and great protection.

So step 1, 2, NXT wax, step 3.
