Consumer vs. Pro line

[nyc_sud]

I purchased the PC 7424 along with some Propel pads. I realize that the cleaner and polish I purchased is the consumer brand and not the pro line. I have the Step 1 Paint Cleaner and Step 2 Polish.

I am attempting to remove oxidation from the hood and light scratches and swirls from the 1/4 panels. Will the consumer line work or should I return these products and go for the #83 and #80?

Thanks,
T

It is not a bad idea to have hand-applied products around for use on areas the PC cant reach, esp some ScratchX as well.

But you will definately want to work with #80 on most of your vehicle.

Well the Deep Crystal Product are good product but they are very gentle and from the sound of it you may be better off with another product.

But first...

What kind of vehicle are you working on and color? Do you have any photos of the finish as it stands now?

Here is some good reading on #80/#83: How to use the G-100 to remove swirls

It is a black Ford Ranger. I don't have pics yet but will post before and after pics when get to detailing.

I'll be sure to pick up some of that #80.

Thanks,

GB387 Sweet ride.

What do you use to clean and dress the tonneau cover?

For cleaning I just use Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and Hyper-Dressing is my main dressing.

I'm thinking on trying some of the pro line. I have a pewter colored chevy silverado. What is the best to use on that color? I will be applying and removing by hand. Will I still be able to use the pro line products?

If working by hand, it is best to stick with the consumer line because it is specifically made to work well by hand. You might want to try ColorX and top with NXT Paste.
