I have a berlina too, but I only use Zaino on it. The car I used the Meguires on was red. It seemed to clean off all the dead paint with the first step, and left it squeeky clean. the system left the paint looking really good. But the first step seemed abrasive and would leave the color of the paint on the rag used to apply it. I dont know that I would use it on my S, but I may be just too cautious.

I've used Meguiar's step one 2 and three and it was alright. If you can afford it, for $150 you can get your car teflon coated and not worry about it for 5 years. Tefloning your car beats waxing it every other week or so and it does a better job than wax.

How does this keep poking it's head up every now and then? Don't waste your money on this "snake oil" cure for proper car maintenance. It has been proven to be a waste of money. The same also applies to the treatment that the dealer tries to sell to you when you pick up your new car.

I'll agree with you on the dealerships, since they seem to jack the price to about $1000, but as far saying tefloning is a waste of money well sounds like you don't know too many people who've done it. My S2000 has been tefloned for almost a year now and all I have to do is rinse it every now and then plus dry it and looks like it came off the show room floor. Teflon protects your car for oxidation, mineral deposits and scatches. This is the same stuff they put on airplanes and speed boats, it's not "snake oil".

I'm more curious as to what "muted" means under z28darren's name????? Never saw that one before.
