Cleaner wax is like cleaner/ polish/ wax - all in one.

Pre-wax cleaner does not have any wax in it. It's usually a mild cleaner/ polish.

There is no product called "pre-wax cleaner' either, so dont get confused if someone on another board calls something that as well.

But there is a product called Cleaner/Wax, and a couple other that are stronger cleaner/waxes.

I think SwirlX and ScratchX fall under pre-wax cleaner category.

Theres a Meguiars Paint Cleaner , its step 1 in the 3 step wax system. It's called Deep Crystal System Paint Cleaner. My question is now, whats the difference in this and swirl x, scratch x, and ultimate compound?

Here is the start of the explanation. The wise ones on MOL will describe in detail the finite differences of the products/systems.

The Deep Crystal Cleaner, discontinued in US, is very mild. Then SwirlX, then ScratchX, then UC in terms of strength.
