i used all 3 steps tonight cleaning my car. the paint cleaner (stage1) seemed to bring out lots of swirls marks but it did look cleaner. i used the polish (stage2) which took absolutely ages to come up and buff out . i gave up with it in the end and put the wax (stage3) on over the left overs of the polish and worked fine. is there an easier way to get the polish off. i gave each step 30 mins to dry on too. i used that thick soft wool mitt type of thing to buff the applications off.
