Is the deep crystal system polish safe for clear coats? it seems that everything else I have that is Meguiar's says that it is safe for clear coats---this doesn't say that, but I am assuming it is
thanks.........car has swirls from one of those brushes at a carwash-------I did it when I first got the car and didn't know what I was doing ---it was brand new, probably about 1000 miles on it. I have been trying to get rid of them ever since (3 years). One of my best friends is a professional detailer, and he has tried buffing them out. I've used ScratchX (several tubes) on the car. I just keep trying to polish them out somehow. It always looks better after a polishing and the gold class liquid wax. I thought I would give the liquid crystal system a go. I now exclusively use Meguiar's products, and they have never let me down. I used the polish today, and there are still swirls, although I must say it does look better. Any other suggestions from anyone?
Well, Deep Crystal will work fine for clear coats, but there are no abrasives in it. The diminishing abrasives of products like #83, #81, ScratchX, etc are what will help remove those swirls/brush marks best. It may be tht hand appliation isnt going to work for you, and something like the PC may be needed.
thanks for the tip. I'll have to try the ScratchX again, but not hand application this time. The car really doesn't look too bad, and, honestly, I don't think anyone notices but me. That just seems to be how it goes, though----if you know that an imperfection is there, no matter how minor, it's the first thing you look at and it drives you nuts!
scratchX will work the best by hand. If you use a polisher it will gum up your pad because it dosen't like the heat. You are better off with #80 if you use a polisher.
