  • Pro version of DC1?

    Is there a pro version of DC1? I have been using #80 buy hand. But I'd like something I could use with the G100. The reason I don't want to keep using #80 is I like to clean my paint about every time I wax and don't want to over polish it. I know the #80 isn't taking off much clear but still, I figure over time it will add up. All the chemical cleaners seem to be cleaner / wax. I just want the cleaner part. Or maybe if there's not just a cleaner, a suggestion to what you all do. Thanks much!

    Even DC1 does feature an abbrasive though its rather mild.

    FWIW, you can you DC1 with a finishing pad on your PC, no problem. Since it is OTC, there is no real reason to make a professional version of it.

    Since the professional line is geared towards professionals (not towards enthusastic hobbiests), there is no professional need in the market. (IE, when I do this for a living, I have no real need to clean the paint before applying an LSP in a sense. If the customer is paying for a quality job, then I am buffing the paint anyways, and if they aren't paying for a quality job, I'm using a one step anways).

    I would suggest, for your needs, to just use the DC1 via PC.

      Thanks much TH0001! Guess I'll go with the DC1 via the PC, or maybe I'll have to cut myself back to a one step.

        I have used DC1 with my PC but I use a polishing pad, seems to work quite well. When I use DC1 I don't work the product in as long as I do with #80, I only use it for a gentle cleaner when I don't intend on removing swirls. Never had a problem, works great!

          Why not use #82?

            #9 Swirl Remove 2.0 would be a good option for a very light cleaner with lots of rich polishing oils for gloss and beauty.

                  Yes, it may not be very effective at removing swirls however, depends upon how hard the paint is, how deep the swirls are and how good you are at using your hand to work a product against the paint to remove small particles of it.

                    Mike,
                    thanks for the reply,
                    if I wanted to use #9 as a cleaner/polish, and if I would by hand, do I have to use passion to break down the abrasives?
                    Or I don't have to break down the abrasives, would I instill any microfine scratches by not breaking down the abrasives?
