car waxes

I've used chemical guys products after using zaino and I think CG is by far the best out there.

I didn't see anyone say mothers wax. I've used the 3 stage system. 1. Pre cleaner. 2 sealer and glaze. 3. Pure carnuba wax. It's labor intensive but is left great results. For the ones using Meguiars NXT is this a one stage proccess? I'm wanting to polish and wax my baby this weekend.

OK since no one replied I went and did my 3 coat process. The car turned out beautiful.

IMHO, the specific brand of sealant, glaze and wax isn't anywhere near as important as the machine polishing and paint correction. That said, I use Adam's products, wax being Americana. I don't think there's any question that there are varying qualities of wax products, but the variation between some $10 NuFinish and some $60 Americana isn't anywhere near as great as the difference between machine polishing or not machine polishing. IMHO, if you're not machine polishing, and I'm talking about a quality machine polish not your typical $30 random orbital buffer from WalMart, then you're kidding yourself about the quality of the finish that you're going to be able to achieve.
