  • is a paint cleaner and a polish one in the same?

    Is a paint cleaner and a polish really just one in the same? I ask because I use deep crystal painter cleaner, as well as deep crystal pure polish, and mirror glaze pure polish in my details.

    Re: is a paint cleaner and a polish one in the same?

    It gets a bit tricky, as there is no set definition on what words mean, and then the marketing guys get involved,and make it harder...

    In strict Meguiars terms:
    Cleaner - removes dirt from paint, and if strong enough, can remove swirls.
    Polish - Adds polishing oils to the paint.

    So:
    DC Cleaner (discontinued anyway) - Cleaner
    Ult. Polish - Cleaner / Polish
    SwirlX - Cleaner/Polish
    DC Polish - Polish
    #7 - Polish

    So using a cleaner before a polish is the right way to go, or using a cleaner/polish product to do both (a pure polish could be added after if wanted). There would be no need to use two polish products after each other.
