I would go with the Light Polish followed by the Wet Glaze, then top with the Wet Wax.
Juztang, thanks, I was wondering when I'd hear from you.

Will the polish work like a cleaner and give me a fresh start? Polish and Glaze synthetic and wax carnauba?

Yes the polish will give you a fresh start. It will also correct some light swirls and bring out more shine and reflection, it is a great finishing polish. The glaze is acrylic and it will make your paint feel super slick plus make the paint look deep and wet. The wax is made with Brazilian carnauba which is the best grade of carnauba, it goes on real easy and comes off easy. You can also use it in the sun. It won't streak either.

Yes, humidity IS a factor in wax cure time... Did you perform "the swipe test" before removing the wax?

FWIW, Meguiars does have an online forum at http://meguiarsonline.com/ that is excellent for troubleshooting and product info. In addition, you can reach them at http://www.meguiars.com/customercare/ or call the help line at 1-800-347-5700.

With all that said, I'm not a believer in layering waxes. Every layer of wax after the first just takes away clarity - nothing becomes "clearer" as it becomes "thicker". Wax is only a protectant, shine comes from the paint surface.

I have always loved using just one coat of Meguiars gold class, one body panel at a time.

Juztang,
You mention the cleaner / polish, Glaze and wax. What brand combination do you sell? Is there a package for just the three? What a about a quick detailer for thein betweens wax jobs?
I would like to get the three but not sure which? How often do you need to apply each or should you applyall at same time. Once a year, twice a year etc?

How does your stuff compare to Mequiare?

My new line of products have already had excellent reviews. For a good 3 step I would go with my Light Polish,Wet Glaze, and Wet Wax. This will give a really deep and wet look plus good protection. I also have a couple of excellent quick detailers. My Fast Shine and Waterless Wash Plus Carnauba also work very well, they don't streak and add at on of gloss between waxes.

I would only do the 3 step every 6 months or so. You can put the wax on whenever you like.

I used Megiuars for several years. I started using Poorboy's,ClearKote,Optimum, etc. a few years ago and was really blown away by the quality and ease of use.My brand plus the brands I mentioned can also be applied in the direct sunlight and don't have any residue like many other brands have. I actually used most of these brands before I started becoming a distributor, I kinda just fell into the distributor thing one day. I use all of these products in my detail business and couldn't be happier.

Let me know if you have anymore product questions. You can pm, e-mail me or just respond to this post...whatever works best for you!

Here is the direct link to my Obsessive Detail product line.

So here is the exact name of each product:

Light Polish
Wet Glaze
Wet Wax
Fast Shine or Waterless Wash quick detailer-which ever one you decide on, they both are excellent products.
