  • Deep Crystal questions - use with orbital

    I've been trying to get my SL ready for a national MB Club concours coming up on the 15th in Topeka, and I want to use something after I;m done with the Meg's #83 to "refine" the finish. I have a bottle of Deep Crystal #2 (bought when it was still a 3-step product) and I was wondering if this would be an acceptable non-abrasive polish to use. My planned routine is as follows:

    Using a Griot's orbital:
    1. Megs #83 on a LC yellow pad (swirls are pretty bad, and this white single-stage MB paint is hard as a rock - I'm getting about 85% correction, which for now is enough)
    2. Deep Crystal #2 on a LC white pad
    3. Meg's #7 glaze with a LC blue or red pad
    4. NXT2.0 with a LC red or Black pad
    5. I might top this with #26 - I can't decide.

    I know I won't be able to find Meg's #80 locally and time is an issue, so I hope to use the Deep Crystal as an adequate substitute.

    Any feedback (except the cruel, biting kind) is appreciated!


    PS: The car has already been thoroughly cleaned & clayed.

    No, DC2 isnt really what you want. It is pretty much the same as #7.

    Can you find #9, or SwirlX?

      My mistake. It's Deep Crystal #1 that I have. Brain fade. That'll teach me to post without double-checking

        Never mind. I used it anyway after I was done with the #83. It worked really well - it did what I wanted it to. FYI I used both a white and green pad to apply it. Next time I'll get some #80 or another finishing polish, but this time I'm in a time bind.
