i went Meguiars now
i went Meguiars now well i switched polished/soap/wax today.
i got their car wash soap, NTX wax, and deep crystal polish. i want to get the COLOR wax/polish, but i dont know if i need it.
im hoping NTX will get rid of the swirl marks and light scratches.
anything else im missing?

the NXT will hide some very minor swirling.. to remove swirls by hand I would recommend using Tropi-care TC-8.
Meg's #2 also works ok by hand, but it has a lot of filler in it ..
#80 and #83 are machine only ..

on their website it doesnt show the numbers youre talking about so i dont know which ones you are refering to.
the mfs are yellow and a light green
so would i be ok doing this: NXT wash soap washing the car, deep crystal polish, then the NXT wax.

Verdad Gallardo yes .. I would add the claying step into your process ..
so
wash
clay
DC #1
DC #2 (if you want)
NXT
Meg's #26 or Mother's Pure Carnuaba. (not the cleaner wax)
all of that stuff is available at any parts store .. and is decent stuff for working by hand.
you will need to either find a supplier close to you, or order online or via phone to step up to higher quality products. but unless you are going to get obsessive .. the products listed above will work fine for you for maintainence.
and get some better quality MF towels .. go to pep boys or o' Reillys and pick up some MEg's Supreme shine MF towels .. or even better .. give Steve a call at Tropi-care and get some good towels from him .. I believe they have free shipping on some of the MF towels

And #2 does not have fillers. It's a polish.

To the topic starter, since my car is a similar color, I would go SC#1, DC#2 (apply thin, to the point you can hardly see it on the paint), and then #26. DC#2 followed with #26 gives an awesome shine on dark colors.

Yes, what you have will work wonderful. Just apply the Deep Crystal Polish really thin to the point you can hardly see it on the paint when you apply it. It will make removing a lot easier.
