I was just wondering if these 2 are really any different.

The mirroz glaze line is better as far as durabilty goes. I haven't heard much on the Deep Crystal line, justa few bad comments from some people who tested some DC line. If you chose to go with megs stay with the MG line it's the high grade brand for OTC, NAPA is pretty good with stocking/ordering the MG line. #16 is from the MG line....

Thanks Wytstang

I went out and tried the DC carnuaba that I had left over, the MG I bought and some Zymol I got as a gift and they all looked the same on my car. Looks like the one with the best durability will be the one to go with.

Great way to test them is pick up some painter tape. Split the hood or roof (they get most of the abuse) in half and apply one of each using the same techniques (following directions from each of course). See which one last the longest, and gives the results that YOU like. Good luck....

I think I'm just going to play copycat and steal the products and process you use. I've had this car over a year now and nothing I have tried has given me that great of results.

I'm tired of pouring money down the drain and not getting the results I need, I feel like a dog chasing it's tail.

I feel you man here's the list of products I used in my last detail and were I got them from......
Klasse All-In-One
Four Stars Ultimate Paint Protection
Autogeek's coupon code is detailcity to recieve 10% off use before checkout **Autogeek is in Stuart, Fl so expect your order with in 2 days.
Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze
No coupon for Specialtymotoring but he's a fast shiper.....Here is the order they must be used in:
Klasse AIO
Vanilla Moose hand Glaze
UPP
**Note UPP is the only paint sealant that I know of that can be used after a hand glaze with out bonding issues. Most paint sealants can't bond well with glazes due to the oils they contain UPP bonds well with VM. Carnuba waxes can bond with them with no problems......Expect months of protection so all you have to do is wash it weekly with car soap and enjoy your days off. It's not cheap at first BUT when you only have to use them once every 5 months you save $$ in the long run.

I'm not too sure about that Yellow wax, but I've used the first one. It's meant to be used in the Meguiars 3-stage wax. First you're supposed to use the Paint Cleaner and Paint Polish, then as you notice there is a #3 on that bottle since it's the last step. It shines really well and comes off really easily, but the problem is it doesn't continue to stay on and protect for much more than a week. The yellow wax is probably a little more difficult to apply but will last a lot longer.

Yeah I used the 3 step system, and it works nice but just don't last. I was wondering if I would get better results using a 3 step system (paint cleaner, polish and carnuba) from the Mirror Glaze line rather than the deep crystal line.

I've used the deep crystal polish and wax on my stang(yellow) and honestly, I couldn't tell the difference from when it was washed/clay, polished, and then waxed.

I didn't know it's in a new formula. Is it really good, because I've used it before on my yellow stang and it was crapola
