Re: Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Review

Me thinks you should have clayed first. By the gritty sound, the stuff didn't really clean the paint. Additionally, it if it were me, I would never leave a bottle sitting on the paint. On my car at least, they simply slide off.
Lastly, get yourself a wind buffer for the camera.

Re: Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Review

A couple of points:

Your clear coats not gone, just might be heavily oxidised.

If it is oxidised SwirlX would've been the better product. Honda paint is very soft so you would have some success with this. I also don't think your working it in enough.

I agree with the above, should've clayed first.

A damp MF applicator is better than a foam one (personal preference I know, but most people I speak to seem to agree), it would've helped as your using alot of product.

Investing in even a cheap tripod might help you out a lot with these reviews - as you stated, it's tough to hold the camera and do the work at the same time!! You'll be able to do the work in a more relaxed manner and better show the process to your audience.

I buy a tripod on internet for 30 bucks and looks professional.

Re: Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Review

^ I don't think that's the right thing to be saying. The paint looks fine and cirtainly do-able. I've seen alot worse. At the end of the day you get dealt a hand and you can only play what's in front of you.

I personally get just as much out of or even more from detailing a car like yours as opposed to a new mercedes or something bcause the turn around is so much more dramatic.

It doesn't look like a piece of junk; maybe the perfect vehicle to showcase Mequiar's. You really should do the clay first, then your next products would work better. As Michael said a cheap tripod (or a friend who works cheap) would help. In doors out of the wind if possible. Take your time.
Keep at it; you are getting better

Re: Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Review

First of all, great job on the review! Nice and thorough with product demonstration. I couldn't ask for any more.

Second, I am going to have to agree with the rest here. Go ahead and clay the car. Will it eat through a good amount of clay? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. The car will be even more glossy after a clay bar and then the paint cleaner will really deep clean the paint.

Re: Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Review


great review.

On the car;
I agree that, from the video, it doesn't seem that your clear is gone. If you want to restore the paint I do not think it would take as long as you think. Claying is key & the way the paint sounded before and after, though improved, your car needs a couple of 200 gram clay bars and a lot of DS. (auto detailing solution's has some bars for 14.99 though not as great as Meg's, they do carry Meg's bars to )
I think with a (foam down if you have a foam gun) two bucket wash, a few hours claying , followed by the complete deep crystal system, including
Deep Crystal® System Carnauba Wax .
Deep crystal is one of the best consumer lines there is & I have saw it work wonders by it self. Your car would be a great car for a complete system review done over a day or two.

On the video typing;
First I think working with what you have you did great.
As others stated you could add a wind buffer, tripod, possibly either shop halogen lights or a location (for before & after exam) in direct sun as it would help see the flaws (for before & after exam), though that tends to be more difficult in white cars no matter the lighting.
I kinda think if you stick with your review hobby you may indeed get other equipment, but i think you did a great review

Re: Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Review
