since i have started to personally detail my auto 3 years ago... i have used so many products and techniques from so many forums.. hehe medyo OC na nga eh.. as of now i think im contented with this current set up
car shampoo(personally i don't see any difference sa mga brand)
next
polish( meguiars dual action cleaner polish) nagkaka talo lang mga brand ng polish sa aggressiveness nila o abrasiveness
next
wax ( turtle wax) base wax ko ito kasi talagang matigas pag nag cure, mas makunat ito keysa branded waxes.
next
meguiars nxt tech wax 2.0 ( superb beading and shine) pang ibabaw sa turtle wax na layer. pag nauna ito ilagay matatangal nang turtle wax ang meg's
next
mothers reflections top coat ( napaka kintab at add ng additional sacrificial layer) pang top up na lang
cost effective and performance wise ok...

It's to do with varying terminology used by different companies. So, quick definition of terms first:
Compound - Highly abrasive product used to quickly cut through paint, for removal of deep scratches and etching.
Polish - Medium to light abrasive product (less aggressive than compounds). Used to remove swirls, light scratches, and hazing/marring left behind by compounding.
Glaze - Non-abrasive product. Used to temporarily fill in swirls and light scratches, as well as to add gloss and shine to the paint. Generally not very durable.
Wax/Sealant - Used for protection of paint from acid rain, oxidization, contamination, etc. Durability from a few weeks to months.
Spray Wax - Used to top up existing protection.
Quick Detailer - Used for light cleaning of paint (dust, fingerprints), as well as adding to shine, slickness and gloss.
Where the confusion comes in is that Meguiar's refers to products defined above as glazes, as (pure) polishes. On the other hand, the NanoSliq, despite whatever it reads in the ad material is a combination spray wax/quick detailer. So the products you mentioned above (making some assumptions) are:
Meguiar's (Deep Crystal) Polish - glaze
Meguiar's Ultimate Polish - polish
Meguiar's (Deep Crystal) Wax - wax
Meguiar's (Ultimate) Wax - wax
Microtex Nanoglos (wax) - wax
Microtex NanoSliq - spray wax/quick detailer
So, your order would be the polish to remove paint imperfections, glaze to add wetness, gloss and shine, wax to seal in the glaze, and then maintain using a spray wax/QD.
One other thing - some products contain what are called cleaners, which help remove contamination, as well as old wax and polish residue from the paint. These products generally cannot be put on top of another product, as they will just strip that prior product. NanoGlos contains some cleaners, so if you buy that, you cannot use it over any glaze or previous wax layer.
Hope that wasn't too confusing - do post if you need further clarification

March 25th, 2012 11:52 PM #714The best pa rin gamitan ng detailer ang light na alikabok tsaka fingerprints. Iwasan mo rags mas ok microfiber. Oks din ang 100% cotton na lampin kung ayaw mo ng microfiber. hehe. Originally Posted by yam123

March 26th, 2012 01:42 PM #718I'd suggest reading through the first few posts on this thread: "Tamang OC lang" - a newbie's guide to car appearance maintenance. It'll give you a good head start on how to maintain your car, as well as what products you can use. Originally Posted by yam123

March 26th, 2012 01:49 PM #719Mothers (600-700), Megs (600-800) tsaka yung Turtle Wax Platinum (400-500). Nakalimutan ko na yung prices jan e. Pero sa experience ko yung TW Platinum ang pinakamakintab sa tatlo. Sa claybars naman, Mothers ang bet ko. Originally Posted by yam123
