I got Zaino but want to try another brand. What do you guys like? 3M or Meguiars and what specific products you use and in what order? I called a Meguiars rep and he recommends .......
shampoo, clay, shampoo again, deep crystal wash, show car glaze #7 then Gold Class. He then added you can top the Gold Class with the Hi-Tech Yellow wax for a "deeper" shine.
Would the 3M order be......?
shampoo clay shampoo again SMR perfect-it 2 fine cut rubbing compound Pefect-it show car liquid wax
I know this is very subjective but tell me what you prefer..... 3M or Meguiars?
I want to wax both of my cars..... 87' blk Nissan Maxima(paint is in bad shape) and a 2001 blk Camaro SS(good paint but millions of tiny mirco scratches in clear coat)
I don't want a highly abrasive wax or polish......I assume the harsher the wax/polish the worse it is on removing the clear coat over time.
I want the best towels for drying and waxing....... Fieldcrest Cannon or Royal Velvet at bed bath and beyond?
Thanks in advance.

Try calling a automotive store that sells the 3M products or go to the 3M site. They should have the necessary info. I use 3M products on any car I paint for the rub out and polishing process then go over the paint with the Meguiars products.

I use both 3M and Meguires, ...get some 3M "Finesse It", ...great for removing swirls... As for sequence of applications, ...what you've listed sounds fine, but like the other post, ...whatever the rep(s) say, ...should be fine...

I only use maguires. Never had a problem with them.

Meguires products work well for me. Followed by collinite wax. For light scratches try Meguiers scratch X. The definition for 3M is it costs 3 times as much.
