deep crystal steps 1,2,3

[jimbo_01]

do you just apply the cleaner and rub it in and wipe it off, and then rub on the polish and wipe it off, and then apply the wax??? do you have to wait between each step??? also how long should i leave the wax on before i buff the extra off???

thanks for any info

You do as you said apply then remove... You don't have to wait in between steps. You do not need to let the cleaner or polish dry. Just wait for the wax to haze over on your last step.

does the deep crystal paint cleaner or polish remove some of the clear coat when you use it???

[gregcavi]

I would say it would have to remove a little bit. But what it removes is probably a very minimal amount.

The nice thing about Deep Crystal Paint cleaner is that its a chemical cleaner, very gentle and non abrasive. Don't worry to much about it. The Deep Crystal System is a great easy to use gentle system.

here is a great post on CC and what is being removed: http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/sho...ht=wet+sanding

SS found that #83 with the PC the amount of clear coat removed was not measurable.

Well, anything that touches the surface removes some of the clear coat molecules, even a finger. That said, DC#1 is aboutthe mildest cleaner, and will remove the least. If you have defects, you can move up to a more aggressive cleaner, but you may not use the more aggressive one every time.

are any off the pro line products compairable to DCPC.

[Murr1525]

I believe that DC#1 is going to be the mildest cleaner available. It seems like most of the professiona lline products have some diminishing abrasives in them, not a pure chemical cleaner.

guess im going to have to stock DCPC,no problem,now i know..

i was just reading on the meguiars homepage and it says that the deep crystal polish is made for dark color cars, will it hurt to use it on red???

Hello,

The Deep Crystal System does wonders on red, this is my result on my : 90 BMW 325 .

As you can see, I got great results applying the DC System by hand...

I think you'll be pleased and the rain we've been getting since Sunday just slides right off, no beading to speak of...

[Murr1525]

The polish will work fine on all colors. What the label means is that the polish will make paint look deeper and richer. This is more evident on a dark color, as opposed to a lighter color. A color like white may notreally show the affects of polishing. There is still the benefit of nourishing your paint with the polishing oils, but not a very visible affect.

i used these products this weekend and i am really pleased with the results. how often would you guys use this stuff??? my truck is parked in the weather constantly, and i wash it once a week.

I too have got very good results with the 3 step system. The 3 rd step is a pure caranuba, so i prefer to use NXT when it gets warmer out.

I would re apply either when the finish isnt beading, you want that just waxed look, or you want to just play around

[jimbo_01]

so whenever the water quits beading do i do all three steps again or just the wax??? i was kindof thinking of just doing it once a month. is this too much???
