you don't have to use all of them in one sitting though. depends sa condition ng paint and the results that you expect.

anyway, generally ganito:
wash
clay
polish
glaze
wax / sealant / LSP (Last Step Product)
* tapos booster wax for maintenance in-between.

BTW, kuha ka na din ng QD, MF and some adequate applicator pads. note that the process above is medyo general in nature because I'm not familiar with some of your products.

and try to browse though here.. I know the thread here is a bit lengthy already but believe me, the answers are just around the pages of this thread.

So this Megs NXT Spray Wax is a Booster wax pang maintenance lang pala. What could be the ideal LSP which you use normally? Anyway thanks for giving me some good points about this thread, Now i will just browse from the start to begin with.

What product can I use for "de-griming" the paints areas near the emblems, mouldings, crevices, etc.? Any tips?

I want to do this de-griming thing myself this long weekend - mahal ng singil for de-griming sa mga detailing shops.

(Sorry, but I dont know if this has been discussed already as I just started reading the thread)

razor: You can use an All Purpose Cleaner for that - Simple Green, Meguires APC. Again go thru this thread and your questions have already been answered

Razor,
1. Get yourself some cleaner wax for easy to remove grime, Meguiar's DACP for stubborn grime and some buffing compound for hardened grime.
2. Get a pencil and wrap the eraser end with some MF towels and scrub the grime away sa mga emblems. For mouldings and crevices, use an old credit card and wrap in MF towel. Apply some DACP and scrub till the grime is gone.
3. Get some Omega painkiller for your aching muscles hehehe.

Mga Bro How can we defferentiate between Paint cleaner and cleaner wax are these two things have the same functions? Like Mothers cleaner wax and Meg's Paint cleaner and body scrub . Kasi I saw one Meg's Paint cleaner and body scrub gusto kong bilhin kaso I dont know exactly the purpose of this , coz I have already Mother's Cleaner Carnauba Wax. If I can use both of them with one to apply first?
