Meguiars Deep Crystal vs. Meguiars Gold Class

I've been using the DC 3-step system on my TL and am wondering how Gold class compares.

My little brother uses Zaino on his Accord, but then again...he also has 17 layers of Meguiars DC carnuba wax on top of Zaino.

I currently have 3 layers of Meguiars DC carnuba wax and polish.

I should also note that this is all done by hand. A PC 7424/7336 may be in the future by christmas time i think.

IMO GC looks better than the DC Carnauba wax. So when I used to use Megs, I would replace the step 3 with GC. It looked really good. Good luck.

^^that is a great combo! With the NXT do 2 thin layers, otherwise it will appear streaky. Another option, if ColorX is to harsh for you, Meguiars #80, #81(or #7), then NXT. NXT is the best wax that meguiars makes for protection, it also adds a deep wet shine. All great options though.

A polish doesnt "layer" like a wax does. Any excess polish that doesnt fit in the paints pores is just removed. There does come a point where its overwaxed and doesnt offer any extra protection. Really you should remove the old wax and rewax AT LEAST once per year, i do it twice.

^i agree. 17 coats of wax is nuts... i dont even know if its possbile to tell the difference between if a car is waxed 3 times or 10.
