meguiars scratch X + 3 stage cleaners

I would use it before the 1st stage.
Get rid of those swirls first, then clean the paint - removing oxidation etc and then apply the two stages.
For a perfect glass like finish use the clay bar on the front to remove all dead flies etc before the Scratch X stage...
...oh and give yourself about 5 hours for all of the above /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have only used stage 1 once in 4 months on the S2000. I generally do stages 2,3 once every month or so and in between I use the Gold Class Wax(combo of wax and polish).
If you clean regularly e.g. once a week I do not think there is too much use for stage 1 that often. If your car is parked under trees there may be a more common need for the Stage 1.
I will probably use stage 1 twice a year.
Stages 2 and 3 make the car look perfect!
Using stage 3 by itself IMO is a bit pointless, use 2 and 3 or if lazy use Gold Class. Stage 3 only protects the stage 2 and will not add anymore shine.
I think the 3 stages with the Gold Class will easily last me more than 1 year.
Hope that helps?

Im sorry for not replying sooner, cant believe that I didnt see the questions after the post I made!!!
Amla with regards to your issue, would suggest washing and using the clay bar, it removes tree sap, industrial fallout etc and will leave your paintwork like glass.
You should try the Stage 2 and 3 you will be absolutley amazed with the results in comparison to Auto**ym I do my car the same as Moff about once a month. Then when I wash inbetween polishing/waxing I simply use Quik Detailer to give it that "just waxed" look. Only trouble is I go through so much detailer!! lol /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
As for where you can get the products..... ME!!! www.cleanandshiny.co.uk if you work out what you want and pm me or email me - john@cleanandshiny.co.uk I will sort it all out for you....
