When our C280 was new it came with the Mercedes-Benz paint care kit, which included the wash, cleaner, polish, and wax.. all manufactured by Meguiars and specially formulated for Mercedes-Benz paints (so they say). The products worked OK.... the polish was nice, but I found that the wax was rather lack-luster. It didnt leave the car with any more shine than the polish, which is fine if the wax is formulated just for protection. But I wanted more. SO I started using Meguiars products and found that their "over the counter" waxes performed better... adding more gloss and depth to the finish. And the same went for the polish...

Now I strictly use only Meguairs Gold Class paint cleaner, Color color-X, and NXT products and swear by them.

Its all a matter of personal preference. The MB branded stuff never made me happy. If you are looking for deep shine, dramatic depth, etc.. go for the NXT line.
