I recently had the same question. Thanks to Watchitgo for the following instructions:
Just in case you do not have them. The new process is discouraging the use of Q-tip stalks which are used in step #2.

- Step 1: Cut the fuzzy ends of the Q-tip off at an angle and insert the polishing stalk into your hand drill. Coat the stalk with Polish #1 and push a dab into each wheel bore. Spinning at a very low speed move the wheel up and down the stalk about 20 revolutions. It will be a tight fit so take it slow and easy making sure not to remove chunks of the wheel bore. Blow excess polish out with compressed air and clean the Step #1 out of the wheel thoroughly with 91% alcohol and a fluffy pipe cleaner. MAKE SURE YOU CUT THE PIPE CLEANER WITH A SHARP SCISSORS! Check to make sure there are no sharp points. Check the bore under magnification. The bore should look nearly race ready. If it still needs work repeat this step.
- Step 2: Cut the fuzzy ends of the Q-tip off at an angle and insert the polishing stalk into your hand drill. Coat the stalk with Polish #2 and push a dab into each wheel bore. Once again spinning at a very low speed move the wheel up and down the stalk about 20 revolutions. It will be a tight fit so take it slow and easy. Blow excess polish out with compressed air and clean thoroughly in 91% alcohol and pipe cleaner again removing all traces of polish.
- Step 3: Insert wheel into warm water and Dawn dishwashing liquid and clean again thoroughly with a new pipe cleaner. Blow out with compressed air to dry.
- Step 4: Using Polish #3, coat the wheel bores and contact surfaces of the wheel using a pipe cleaner. Let dry for 10 minutes. Blow out excess with compressed air and let dry for 10 more minutes. Buff out the polish well using extra fluffy pipe cleaners and wipe off the wheel.
- Step 5: Repeat Step 4! Let wheels sit for 2 hours or longer.
- Step 6: Using a mild car wash clean the wheel bore gently using a pipe cleaner and dry thoroughly.
- Step 7: Drop a few drops of Polish #4 into the wheel bore and spin it in using a pipe cleaner. Let dry for 2 minutes and buff out with a clean pipe cleaner. For best results let the wheel cure for 24 hours.
Blow the wheel off good with compressed air and you are ready to go.
By the way, I think it is the new system that has 3 steps and the old one had 4.
Included in the system is...black ice Polish #1, black ice Polish #2, black ice Polish #3, and black ice Polish #4. It also comes with 10 pipe cleaners and 2 swabs. So my question is for Polish #3 and #4. Polish #3 is a grayish pink color and Polish #4 is bright pink.
I'm sorry. I just read step #7 of this. These directions seem to be correct. Thanks gdurban
I just got some a couple weeks ago or so and it only had 3 steps in it. The #1 was thick and pink color. # 2 was in a squeeze bottle and grey color #3 was a thinner. bright pink wax and also in a screw top container. I thought I had heard that a step had been dropped and it went for 4 steps to 3. There is only 3 steps in the video I believe.
I received mine last week, with 4. I sent John an email, where he says to follow the video for steps 1 through 3. Then, wait as long as possible. Then, add step 4 and buff step 4 out immediately.
