Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner and ScratchX

[turbodreamer]

I have some pretty bad swirls in my paint. I've tried the deep crystal paint cleaner and it definately helped but I think I can do better. Is it safe to use the deep crystal paint cleaner followed by scratchx, deep crystal polish, and nxt tech wax?

If you have a small area to do, like a body panel, go with the Scratch X. If you have a PC I would go with MPPC or #80, they will work much faster and are more aggressive than Scratch X. You can probably find #80 locally at a PBE dealer.

Any of the products mentioned are safe to use after the Deep Crystal Cleaner.

OFF-TOPIC:

You seemed to not forget our favorite #80 in the list!

Hi turbodreamer,

Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner and ScratchX are both paint cleaners, the ScratchX is more effective at removing swirls because it contains a diminishing abrasive while the Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner is a chemical paint cleaner only. You typically would only use one and not both and after the cleaning step move on to polishing and protecting.

Try the ScratchX by hand working a small section at a time.

Here's a how-to article on using ScratchX,

Thanks Mike! That really helped because a bird dropping etching is a big problem that I have right now.
