DC1 as pre-wax cleanser

Re: DC1 as pre-wax cleanser

I just want to ensure clean surface without doing any correction using what's available. Though adding new pre-wax cleanser might do the trick (and satisfy my ongoing need of collecting stuff), i want to use what's available on my arsenal and DC 1&2 might do the trick. Thanks for the input

Nothelle, DC1 will accomplish your goal of removing wax, contaminants, and stains, and will leave the surface ready for wax. That's what it was made to do. Go for it.

No DC1 is not a pre-wax cleanser like Swissvax Cleaner Fluid. It has no glazing oils in it. Thats why you need to follow with DC2, which is full of oils. For a comparable product to Cleaner Fluid, try SwirlX, or M205 Ultra Finishing Polish. They have a bit of cut, but if gently applied by hand they will behave in the same way as Cleaner Fluid. M205 is spectacular when used this way. Follow with M26 HiTech Yellow Wax.

You can top DC1 with wax, but it just won't have the same pop as Swissvax Cleaner Fluid because its missing the beautifying oils.

I still have the Megs DC1 Cleanser and i wonder if it works like other brands' pre-wax cleanser? like sv cleaner fluid or DJ lime prime? (sorry, if mentioning other brands is not allowed, I'll edit my post)

My goal is to strip of previous layer of wax... I've tried clay, IPA 50:50 and somehow i still feel the old layer is still there and I've read some brand LSP needs repetitious treatment of either (or both) for total wax removal. I Never try APC, as i afraid the acid content might do something to the paint.

Looking at DC1 description it come close to surface preparation/cleaning so it'll be ready for proper lsp bonding. Can someone verify this?

Thanks
