Absolutely.

That is exactly how it is intended.

I add this since with the Zaino some applications are applied on top of other applications before being buffed out.

With Meguiar's, polish then buff out then wax then buff out. wax right after you finish polishing.

I am a HUGE fan of Meguiars but hate their 3 step process.

Try my old stand by.......you'll get much better results and much less work.

After you wash your ML... Apply Meguiars CleanerWax (Burgundy bottle)....if you get a smooth glass feel, your done with the first step. If not...apply it again.

Next, apply Meguiars Gold Class wax as a top coat(Black bottle in a box).....You will get an awesome wet look shine (if your ML is smokesilver you will think I am the Wax god!)

I have tried all the others including the 3 step. I was very dissapointed in the 3 step especially how long it took with fair results.

I hope this helps!
Good Luck!
Mike

I have a Silver C240 for a year and 1/2, the color is very smooth and shine after I wash it. When should I start to wax my car? can I do it now or wait until the color is kind of dull and then wax it???

Wax it before it gets dull. By the time your paint gets dull you're already trying to reverse damage already done! Why wait til then? I also guarantee that if you clay and wax your car you'll be amazed at the difference between what you thought was smooth and what actually is smooth
