medallion premium paint cleaner

If I only had more time.
So I had an old bottle of this laying around because I never had great results with it.
I have moved on to other things now, but never asked the question of what people thought of this product.

It is a chemical cleaner correct? Is it even comparable to something like AIO?

I never hear anyone using it.

MPPC is an excellent product. To this date, it remains one of my favorite chemical cleaners. As far as I am aware, the product has been discontinued due to VOC regulations. However, I'm still holding onto my final 6 ounces of the stuff. It is the first product I'd reach for if I were attempting to detail a neglected and oxidized finish.

MPPC is strictly a cleaner with no protective properties, so it's not really comparable to Klasse AIO. MPPC was designed to precede its companion product, Medallion Premium Paint Protection (another very good product for its time).

At what point do you use these cleaners? I have some Mothers (I think) body scrub that I have used in the passed, is that the same?
 
Thanks for the info, I will have to give it another shot next time I have a heavily oxidized car and see how the results turn out.

thanks again.

I believe that Body Scrub used to be part of the Meguiar's consumer line of products (the burgundy bottles). I've never tried it, so I can't give you any user comparison info.

I generally like to use a straight chemical cleaner as a first step (after washing, of course) on badly neglected or oxidized finishes. The cleaner will strip off the majority of the oxidation and chemical contaminants so that you can get a good look at the real condition of the paint. At that point, you can make decisions regarding claying and abrasives. My favorite chemical cleaners are MPPC and Poorboy's Professional Polish.

Chemical cleaners are also good for prepping a well maintained finish for LSPs. My favorite chemical cleaners for base coats are Clearkote Vanilla Moose, Poorboy's Polish with Carnuba, and Klasse AIO.

Yep, the Body Scrub is a Meguiar's product. I believe it is also a victim of the VTOC regulations and will be going away.

The Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner (step 1) is very similar to the MPPC... both are very good products. I will miss MPPC! :boohoo
