Better Paint Cleaner? Meg's vs. Meg's...

i would think deep crystal paint cleaner would be a better paint cleaner...and ColorX would be a better polish
 
I have used both. I have never gotten the results with the "three step" sysytem that I achieved with ColorX. In a very simple illustration, the ColorX is kind of like the three step system rolled into one bottle. I know there are differences, but I'm just using it to "make my point."

FWIW, I have seen people use the three step system (both the Meg's and Mother's) with very good results.
 
the only bad thing about the 3 step is it provides no real polish. I thought colorX was a mild mild mild polish? The polish in the 3 step is just chemical if i'm not mistaken

The first two steps in the Meg's three step system are polishes. I think you might be a bit confused on the terminology, but a polish is something you use to clean the paint with (in very simple terminology). Just because it's not abrasive doesn't mean that it's not a polish.
 
I.M.O. Color X is a top notch product. As a cleaner wax the only other product that beats it is Klasse AIO. It is the product that I recomend to people with less then perfect paint. It cleans very well and leaves long lasting pertection for a cleaner wax. I find that if you do it by hand do 2 coats , it seems to come out better that way. Do it twice it comes out nice.
 
I just picked up some ColorX today. If i throw on a couple coats by hand, what would be a good topper? I wish i had some NXT wax, that'll be my next purchase. Would #26 be a good topper for ColorX?
 
Here's what i was thinking. I dont have a PC or anything, so i thought i'd apply one coat to one panel with a terry app, then remove, i'll do this to the whole car, then to back and apply another coat of ColorX with a MF app. to one panel and remove. Do this to the whole car, then top it off with a coat of #26. Would layering #26 make better results?

How much colorx should be used? I'm gonna just a little bit, i think a lot of times i use too much product, and i read that colorx needs to be used sparingly. Also, how much #26 should be used? Should i use it sparingly too?
