Ok so I over did it, I ended up using the whole bottle...

It usually depends on how bad the vehicle is, and how often you have to go back over it. Most of the, I usually keep at least 2 bottles handy just in case, but on a full size truck, it's nothing for me to use an entire bottle.

Better to overdo it than underdo it - and cause scratches and stick blobs of clay to the paint.

THIEF

When I did my truck the first time I used a whole bottle of QD. The wetter, the better

So my local Canadian Tire doesn't have DC #2 because they are out of stock. I was thinking about using Mothers Step 1 - 2 and using NXT 2.0 wax after that. Will this be an OK combo, or should I just use Meg's DC #1, ColorX and NXT 2.0? Honestly I am not a big fan of Mother's so I don't really know.
