AudiPartner Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Ok, Megs 3 step deep crystal is hard work. Worth it mind, but sometimes you don't have 4 or 5 hours available to do it properly! Anyway, it has been known for me to cheat, and only do steps 2 and 3 (I'm sure I'm not alone on this ). Anyway, having just changed my car I thought I'd give it a good polish. Being a new car (to me) I should really have gone the whole hog, but I was out all day yesterday at an E36 meet so it wouldn't have really been fair to the other half to spend all day today doing car stuff too! So having washed and dried it I did just steps 2 and 3 (polish and wax) to save on time. Or did I?? Nope. As I was putting the wax on (step 3) I realised I'd just used step 1 instead of 2. No fecking polish at all!! Bo11ox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Ooooooops!!!! That'll teach ya not to take shortcuts! You'll just have to go and do Stage II next weekend, followed by Stage III again. At least you'll know you've given it the full works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I use Gold Class shampoo anyway, before Stage I, II and III of course. It's what I use week in and week out, usually followed by a swift going over with Quik Detailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveStar Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 If you're the kind of person who tends to cut corners from time to time, then a 3-step system may not be best for you! LOL There's nothing particularly wrong with what you've done, so don't worry about it. But if you don't like spending hours going through the 3-steps then it'd be a good idea to invest in a bottle of Gold Class or NXT wax or any other good polishing wax for that matter - you'd then be able to cut-out the step 2 polish. I'd recommend you do this if the paintwork is already in decent condition. But like I said, it really depends on the condition of the paintwork to begin with, which I obviously haven't seen. When you come to do it again, just start off with the step 1 paint cleaner then follow up with your chosen polishing wax... simple! You mentioned the 3-steps being hard work... did you mean in terms of removal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARACTERE 007 Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 ...if you just want to add one layer of wax then id go for goldclass wax, its a bit harder to take off compared to NXT but it does seem to last for ages! with goldclass make sure you dont leave it on the car for ages before you buff it off!

CARACTERE 007 Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 goldclass after about 3-4 weeks, just washed with cold water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runflat Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 If you are pushed for time, NXT Tech Wax is amazingly quick and easy to apply and in my opinion lasts well. I tend to reapply every other week anyway as it doesn't take too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
