about the deep crystal polishing steps..

I have step 1 and step 2, but I do not have the carnuba wax, I do however have the classic gold stuff, can I use that as the wax? or is it better to stick with the 3rd step?

Step 3 Carnuba is just for protection of the paint it won't help the shine much at all.

Anyway to acually ANSWER your question, yes, the wax you have now will work just fine. And as Mark said, the canaruba wax is merely to protect the paint. Make sure to use some sort of wax after the first 2 steps, because the paint is now completley bare without protection.
Good luck!

I used the carnuba suff on my car. It seemed to shine up the paint a bit, not much. Unless I'm thinking of some different stuff.(it says car wax) My paint isnt worth that much trouble.
