Opinion of Mothers product?

Everything i've gotten from mother's worked just great.
I bought some of that step three wax, not the cleaner wax but the pure carnauba stuff- haven't used it yet, but it sure looks like wax alright.
Instead of the step one and two, I'm hoping I can fake it with some soap I've already got and some 3m Imperial hand glaze. I've heard nothing but good about the three step mothers.

Their clay bar is my favorite.
If I am asked to reccommend an over-the-counter line of detailing products to someone, I always reccommend Mother's. All of their products are excellent.
Mother's is my favorite over-the-counter lineup because their products have consistent quality. Meguiar's has a better selection, but their quality can be hit-and-miss- most products are good, some are outstanding, and some are junk. Eagle 1 doesn't have as good a selection as Mothers, and the Eagle 1 paste wax is almost impossible to find. Other companies, like 3M, make excellent products, but it's almost impossible to find them. If you find one or two on the shelf, you're lucky.
Mother's is great because almost every auto parts store carries the whole Mothers line. You can always find the 3-step wax system, the claybar, and the preserves protectant. With that, you are set to go.

I used the 3 step from Mother's for years. Great products, but durability is typical for Carnauba's--not very long, maybe 2 months if car is garaged every might. I recently switched to Meguiar's #20 and it is much more durable. Not as nice smell, and deep looking as a carnauba, but it lasts much longer. I also find it more reflective. But just last month, I started topping it with Meguiar's #26 and I get durability and the deep wet shine, so the best of both worlds.
Go ahead and get the 3 step, but remember that you only need to use the pre-wax cleaner once or twice a year. You can use the sealer/glaze and the pure carnauba wax as often as you like. Probably once a month would give you a great shine and decent protection.
