Which products in the pro line is equal the "Deep Crystal System" ?
you might get some different answers but I would say
#9 or#82 swirl remover as a replacement of step 1
#7 or #81 polish as a replacement to step 2
#16 or #26 or nxt wax as a replacement to step 3
do you intend to apply these by hand or machine? that will factor into the answer alittle. hope this helps.

Thanks
Hi Webb,
The Deep Crystal System is a system of dedicated products for dedicated procedures.
After washing, you have,
Step 1 - Clean the paint using a dedicated paint cleaner, Step 1 Cleaner Step 2 - Polish the paint using a dedicated pure polish, (non-abrasive), Step 2 Polish Step 3 - Protect the paint using a dedicated pure wax, (no cleaners), Step 3 Protect
If you want to move over to using products from the Professional line, that perform the same procedures outlined above, then I need to know how you’re going to apply them.
As far as dedicated paint cleaners go in the professional line, you have a number of options,
* Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner * M-02 Fine Cut Cleaner * M-01 Medium Cut Cleaner * M-04 Heavy Cut Cleaner * M-84 Compound Power Cleaner * M-85 Diamond Cut Compound
Of these, the MPPC is safe to use with a PC.
While not a dedicated paint cleaner, Meguiar's #83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish, is excellent at cleaning paint, (removing defects), and then breaking down into a polish and polishing the surface to a high gloss.
After this, you can, if you want, perform an extra step of applying a pure polish like the M-81 Hand Polish using the PC and then applying a wax.
Again, if you want to stick with a pure wax in the Professional Line, then you’ll want to go with either M-26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax, or M-16 Professional Paste wax. The liquid version of M-26 will be easy to apply using the PC, but the paste version can be applied using the PC, you just have to be a little more inventive as to how to get the wax onto the foam pad.
Just one more note, while the above products in the Professional Line are similar replacement for the Deep Crystal products in the Consumer Line, they are not the same formula’s.
Hope this helps…
Mike

2000 actually did a pretty good job of answer your question, Autopia

hey guys,
obviously Mike has the right answer, but it riased a little question in my head. is it wrong to view #9, #82, #84, mppc ect, as all really a cleaner? I mean is a cleaner just a polish with out the oils (or at least less oil than a pure polish), its just that some are more agressive than others, right? or is a cleaner really some thing completly different? polish is only for gloss and that would make #81 or #7 as the only "real polish" that we use. just trying to educate myself.
yes all those can be applied with a pc. the great thing about a pc is it dublicates a hand motion without the work. you should be able to apply anything with a pc on the proper speed (not that you would want to use some thing to aggressive with a pc, for that you'd want to set up to a rotery.). now a rotery would be different story.
p.s. what stupidity?......you should see some of my questions
