Re: What is meant by "Pure Polish"?
Yeah. It is easy to get tied up in "old school' terminology, and 'other companies' terminology, and then what Meguiars calls things.
Yes, when Meguiars says polish, they mean add oils to the paint. Pure polishes include DC Polish, #3, #5, #7, and #81.
The term for cleaning paint and swirl removal is clean. The paint cleaners, compounds, etc would be under that term.

What is meant by "Pure Polish"?
I did a quick search that didn't yield any juicy bites, so here goes...
Far as Meguiar's is concerned, what is meant by a "pure polish"? From what I understand, the pure polishes really don't have anything to do with polishing...which in my mind, basically paint correction.
The 2 "pure polishes" that I'm aware of, namely Deep Crystal System Polish, #7 in the Mirror Glaze line, and #45 High Gloss Polish in the Marine/RV lineup, aren't really used for polishing, correct?
instead, they are used to nourish the clearcoat with enriching oils, right?
(I know when and where to use them. I'm more concerned with the terminology that Meguiar's uses here).
So am I correct in thinking that "Meguiar's paint-enriching oils are called polishes, even though they don't really have anything to do with polishing"?
I guess I'm just wondering why these things are called "pure polishes"
.
Someone want to clear this up for me so I can rest easy?
Thanks!
