Meguiars 3 Step Process???

I have seen several posts referring to Meguiars 3 step process, but cannot seem to find out what the 3 steps entail. I assume step 1 is using the Meguiars Wash, Step 2 wax, can't figure out step 3. Can anyone offer some help

step 1. cleaner wax

step 2. polish

step 3 finishing wax.

there are two versions consumer or "emerald" and then the professional version. merals is labele d step1, 2, 3
while professional is cleaner #6, polish/glaze #7 and either the Gold class wax or high yellow #26.

It seems to work great, I did mine 1 month ago now and the car is STILL shiny and smooth, and doesn't seem to get dirty!

It is a pain to put on the first time, but the shine is first rate, and will last for several months . The paint is so smooth it feels almost frictionless.

two diffrent products by diffrent companys.

zaino done right is a multi step process

2 diffrent washes, claybar, prespray, wax x 3 or so.

I use Meguiars (showcar glaze and yellow wax) on all of my cars.

Not as time consuming as Zaino and you get decent result.

Be careful with the 3 steps! The first two steps are abrasives that scrape a little paint off. They work great on my red oxidized del Sol but I wouldn't use it on a new car. Use clay.

Yes, do not use an abrasive unless you have to. The 'problem' with waxes are as follows:

1. Waxes yellow over time
2. Waxes do not handle heat (sun, engine etc...)
3. Waxes leave nasty residue
4. Waxes harden and can leave streaks

None of the above applies to Zaino.
