    Just a little something about the Deep Crystal Polish, I have had trouble with it if you let it dry it gets hard to remove so apply and remove it from small areas at a time and you will not have any problems.

      See, I am learning something new again. I thought I have to wait until it forms a haze that I can take it off.

      To conclude, for Step-1 (Clean) and Step-2 (Polish), I should apply to small sections, then remove it right away at each section. For Step-3 (Wax), I should wait until the haze and use some muscle to remove it.

      I will do Step-1, follow by Step-2 right away. I will then wait for a few hours and proceed to Step-3.

        You should wait for it to haze, but if you apply really thin coats you shouldn't have to use too much muscle power to remove it.

          For Step-3 (Wax), if NXT is not available locally. Should I use DC-3 or Gold Class Paste Wax?

          I don't usually like to buy online because it's too expensive when custom charge is added.

            Either of those two should be fine.

              Just to chime in here,

              Car wax, or any paint protectant, is a sacrificial barrier intended to wear off and thus be replaced or replenished. With that in mind, for most people, driving a car that is categorized as a Daily Driver, there is really no need to be concerned with washing with a strong detergent, high pH soap solution to remove any residual wax, especially if your going to use either a,

              A) Paint Cleaner
              B) Cleaner/Wax


              If this is the case, either of the above should effectively clean the surface which should include removing any remaining wax.

              More important than washing with a detergent soap like Dawn would be to Clay your car's finish after washing, and before using a paint cleaner, cleaner/polish or cleaner/wax.
