Mer is not a good wax ihmo. Much more abbrasive than meguiars and I suspect will actually degrade your paintwork over time if you are not careful. I use Swissol stuff myself...

Meguiars for us regular joe's. Swissol for all the rich gits

I recently purchased the 3-stage Meguiars system and it's excellent.
