  • Clear Coat

    I'm new to using meguiars products, and have a couple questions. Is there a list of all of the products that are clear coat safe? the polish in the 3 step doesn't say clear coat safe but #1 and #3 do. i know it's non abrasive, but just making sure. also i say the list of products you can use with da i believe, but aren't there more products. just trying to get an idea of what products i can machine and which ones i cant. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

        Deep Crystal #2 is clear coat safe and can be used with a PC/Dual Action Polisher.

        Not sure if this would help but here is a list of many of the products (not all) Meguiars Online Acronyms - With Product Links

        What are you going to be doing? There are so may products in Meguiars line. Are you going to be using a PC to apply the products? Do you want to remove swirls/scratches? Here is a list of some of the products you can use with a PC, they are all CC safe: Product, Pad and Speed settings for the Porter Cable Dual Action Polisher

                  You say orbital, something like this:


                  - or -



                  If its similar to one of these, you can apply your product with these machines, you are probably better off to apply Deep Crystal #1 and #2 by hand then apply Deep Crystal #3 with the polisher. The may not have the power to work the product in properly, I am not 100% sure so someone else with better experience may have to chime in.

                    similar to the first one. i think it's 2800 opm or so. Today i detailed a white denali thats been neglected, and all the rusty oxidation was a pain to take off by hand. that's why i'm so curious if i can use the machine with them. also is there a cleaner a little more aggresive that's still clear coat safe? thanks for all the help

                      Well... I don't think there is enough power with the machines pictured. Have you tried ColorX ? Do a search on MOL and there are many here who have had very good luck with it. It can be used by hand.
