Okay sorry, this product isn’t part of the acronym list yet. But if you guessed Four Star PLATINUM Series Ultimate Paint Pre-Cleaner, then you're right.
About a month ago, I was searching for a new paint cleanser. My goal was to find the mildest one out there that can still remove road contamination. I already had Meguiar’s #9, Scratch-X, and 3M SMR but those were products more powerful abrasively than chemically. Pinnacle PCL was also too aggressive.
After chatting with Dwayne McPeeks from Four Star, he suggested me to try their new Pre-Cleaner. I was willing to try nearly anything, and so… the package arrived a few days later. Thumbs up for their great service!
I poured a small amount of the Pre-Cleaner onto a dry microfiber applicator and proceeded applying it onto small sections of my bumper. I had to use a considerable amount of force to eliminate minor contaminants, but was later rewarded from its ease of removal. All I needed to do was to give the paint a swipe with a towel- no QD, no rubbing.
The results were also very nice. After removing the product, it revealed a clearer and deeper finish that felt “squeaky-clean� and very slick. The FSPSUPPC seemed to deeply cleanse the paint of very fine particles. However, any bigger contamination was left untouched. It didn’t remove anything close to PPCL or clay, and did nothing to fine scratches or swirl marks. I’m left with the impression that it is more of a glaze than a polish.
So do I like it? Yes, I love it and recommend it. But did it meet my criteria? The product is a bit <em class='bbc'>too[/i] gentle. It didn’t do much cleansing at all and anything more than minor still needed the help of clay. Don’t take me wrong; its great stuff. Use it as a new-car polish or use it every 6 months if you have an inclusive carnauba detailing schedule. But for me, I’m just looking for something more aggressive.
<strong class='bbc'>Pros:[/b] Ease of removal, gloss, depth, and clarity enhancement, great service
<strong class='bbc'>Cons:[/b] A bit too mild for my tastes, orange-peel on the non-clearcoated bottle
<strong class='bbc'>Price: [/b] $.93/ounce
