Anyone ever use this stuff? i bought this 3 step meguiars kit it is a paint cleaner then some polisher and then carnuba wax. Hopefully i will get a good chance to detail my car this sat and i will post some pics. let me know if you have ever used meguiars products. i was told that Mothers is the best. unfortunaly i can never find any of that stuff at the auto parts stores around my house.
I have. Meguiars is about the only stuff i use. And it works great on som. 
If your going to wax and all that you might what to ues a clay bar before you do that. And try to use a micro fiber towel and a orbital buffer to take it off. The end results are awesome.
Post some pics anyway i love som SS.

I actually tried the Paint Cleaner to take out some scratches and swirls and it was useless. If you do not have deeps swirls and scratches, it should work fine. I use the NXT wax and then cover that with the Gold Class wax. Looks killer! Seems that more than 2 layers of is redundant.

i have used all of them...i honestly didnt think the first two(paint cleaner and polish) did that much...kinda useless...i love that wax..it doesnt last that long but give a great glossy look. I tried the NTX after i ran out but i think ima go back to the carnuba wax

the megs three step is a good process.. as for what wax to use .. depends on whether you like the look of snythetic, or carnuba.. i would recommend, depending on the needs of the vehicle
after proper washing and claying..
step 1
step 2
nxt (2 coats)
Meg's # 26 or Mothers pure carnuba.
I am not a big fan of Meg's gold class .. I think it looks awesome, but the durability is not very good, in my opinion. #26 or Mother's Pure Carnuba is a much better solution, if you are looking to top with a carnuba.

your probably right...i wax my car every few weeks and its garaged so i guess there wasnt much imporvement that coulda done to the condition it was in...i did the 3 step thing once and was so annoyed and tired at the end that probably made me not wanna do it again lol
