I haven't used it yet, but going to buy some soon. I've seen pics on here of cars with the three step completed, and WOW - talk about beautiful. Think it was Abby's car that got a good seeing to. What do people think of their "Two step system" Deep Crystal polish followed by Deep Crystal wax. Any good? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you do anything - do the 1st stage then stage 3.. i.e the paint cleaner then the wax. ideally before all of that give it a good claying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
