Meguire's 5-Step Paint Care Products List

[Detail Union]

Hi All,
Not sure how to ask this question so, I'll just ask it. Is there a list posted here on MOL that breaks down each product that would fit into each step of the 5-step paint care process?? For example:

Step 1 Wash
Gold Class Car Wash
NXT Car Wash
Etc.
Etc.
Step 2 Clean/Prep
Mild Blue Clay
Etc.
Etc.

It would be a great resource to print out and have in my garage to keep me on track and also when I'm getting low on some products in one of the steps or I may want to try other Meg's products out in a specific step!! I have seen a products list but not one that shows where the products fit into each individual step. If there is something like this on MOL would somebody direct me to it.

Thanks, Jeff

Step 1: Wash
Gold Class Car Wash and Shampoo
Deep Crystal Car Wash
Soft Wash Gel
NXT Generation Car Wash

Step 2: Clean
Smooth Surface Clay kit
Smooth Surface Replacement Clay

Step 3: Polish
Ultimate Compound
Swirl X
Scratch X 2.0
Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner (being discontinued)
Deep Crystal Polish (pure polish, no cleaning properties)

Step 4: Wax
Gold Class wax (liquid or paste)
NXT Tech Wax 2.0 (liquid or paste)
A12 Cleaner Wax (liquid or paste)
Color X
Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax

Step 5: Maintain
Ultimate Quik Detailer

Note: the detailers are for daily removal of dust. The quick waxes are only for use on a clean car, such as one that has just been washed. Hope this helps!

You probably would want to consider the DC1, SwirlX, ScratchX 2.0, and UC in the cleaning section.

Where would M81 fall under? Pure polish?

Mike Phillips said he updated the original one, haven't checked it in a while.

Yes, very similar to DC 2 or M07.

Re: Meguire's 5-Step Paint Care Products List

Alright. What about #9, Swirl Remover 2.0?

Re: Meguire's 5-Step Paint Care Products List

#9 is like #82. They would both be a step milder than #80.
