Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Step 1

Re: Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Step 1

On the abrasive scale, where does DC1 fall?

In the paint cleaner catagoy it is our least aggressive product, another way of saying this is it is our most gentle paint cleaner.

That' doesn't mean it can't remove swirls and scratches. All the results gained on this car were done by hand using DCPC

[This is a post from last summer]



Did this 1948 Bentley last weekend, it has an older re-paint using single-stage lacquer paint that's thin in a number of places. For this reason and because it has a lot of raised or hard body lines, (lots of older cars are like this while the body lines on many new cars look more like ice cream that has begun to melt, that is everything is smoothed over), every step was performed by hand.



Before









We snapped a couple shots of the trunk while the sun was at the right angle to capture a before and after shot of the paint condition.

By hand using Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner followed by the Deep Crystal System and topped with M16. I have a thread on the process that I'll try to put back up after I finish adding all the photos.

Cool, thanks Mike.

I've been using the DC system for at least 7-8 years now with good results.

Mike,

On the pic where you show DC1, DC2, and DC3 with the applicators, are they all foamy applicators? The DCPC one kinda looks like a MF/terry applicator. You've said terrycloth has more "bite" then the foam.

Thanks

Re: Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Step 1

Yes, those are all either terry, or perhaps the new MF applicators.

That's what I thought.

Thanks.
