Deep Crystal Polish questions

[Batmobile]

Hi, I want to know if I use NXT / NXT 2.0 wax, will I need Deep Crystal Polish? ?

Will Deep Crystal Polish remove any swirls?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Deep Crystal Polish questions

No, Deep Crystal Polish is not required, and no it will not remove swirls.

Are you doing anything to prep the paint before applying your wax?

No,as murr said it will not remove swirls. I did manage to take off some light scuffing with it,and a couple of light scratches with a lot of work and waste of material.

Re: Deep Crystal Polish questions

Batmobile, Deep Crystal Polish is a nonabrasive "pure polish." It may add a touch of wetness and gloss to a well-prepped surface. Meguar's considers the application of a pure polish as optional. See:Meguiar's 5-Step Paint Care Cycle.

Depending on the condition of your paint, you may go directly from washing to waxing, but if you desire to remove swirls and scratches, then you will need to introduce a cleaning/polishing step (SwirlX, Ultimate Compound) between washing and waxing. The purpose of this step is to abrasively level the paint surface, thereby removing swirls and scratches and improving the optical clarity and gloss of the paint.
You can do this by hand (hard, time-consuming work) or by machine polisher (also hard work, at least for me). But the cleaning/polishing step is what creates significant improvement in the paint finish.

Thanks for the replies

I do have a lot of Meguiar's products and DA, but haven't try Deep Crystal polish though.. I thought it would be nice to have one, but now I think it is not required anymore..

I have 83 and 80, can I use 80 very often? every 2 months for example?

Yes I do wash, clay, clean/polish (83/80) and wax

Yes #80 can be used often, , and #80 has a lot of polishing oils in it as well.

#9/#82 would be a tad milder than #80.
