Just bought this cos I thought it was a bargain!!!

http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/880/mia/d/meguiars+premium+car+care+kit/pid/2325515
Had already washed the car last night, so I thought I'd give the QD a go! I honestly cannot beleive how good the car looks even after the wash last night - it is so much better and it literally too me 10 mins if that!

The Microfibre cloths really are the dogs too!

What else do I need to add the above kit? I have a nearly full bottle of MER polish - does this fit into the above kit/routine? E.g. wash, Mer, the the maguiars wax?

probably just some applicator pads, you might have got them with the kit, i like to use a separate microfibre for each product, so you might want a few more of them.  you'll want a tyre dresser for the wheels too.

what you using to dry your car? i'd recommend the megs water magnet or the sonus der wunder drying towel (the sonus is better IMO)

MER is good but old school, and can be hard to remove and cakes, megs stage 2 polish is good and produces a nice shine.
what you can do is add some MER to your shampoo
