If you were getting a dull finish with the AG Super Resin, then you were not allowing sufficient time for the SRP to apply. The SRP is a "filler" polish in the fact that it will mask minor marks and swirls. You would ideally "seal" this afterwards with something like AG Extra Gloss or similar before applying the HD Wax as that would give the HD something to adhere to better.
Totally agree mate! Having a product like 'tech wax' (even if it's the Version 2) after a 3 stage system like the Megs isn't using it as it's intended as it will inevitably be removing some of the wax laid down in step 3 (which isn't a great product in all fairness although the steps 1 and 2 aren't bad, but again, bettered elsewhere).
Like you I am totally puzzled by a report of AG SRP 'dulling' the finish? Far too many people dismiss Super Res purely by using it incorrectly. I recently wrote a lengthy 'wiki' article on the correct use of it for the Pumapeople site, and used correctly, it's regarded (even by the hardcore detailing bods like myself over on Detailing World) as being one of the best hand applied All in one products and is also one of the best for filling and masking minor swirling on paintwork. But it does need to be worked in properly, just wiping onto the paint (and often way too much), letting it dry and buffing off will produce loads of dust and won't really do anything other than bead water for a few days. Mind you, AG don't help matters by basically saying just that on the instructions.
