Is this a new vehicle or freshly painted vehicle?

IMO, Megs MPC is a strong cleaner, were as SEP is very mild. If this was new car I would use clay, SEP and wax.

The Medallion is a pure paint cleaner no gloss enhancement. You need to follow this up with a polish. SEPC is a polish that has cleaning capabilities. As edshwab said it all depends on the paint condition. Medallioin followed up with SEPC and then a wax is a great combination.

Thomasfl hit the nail right on the head! The only thing I would add is that the Medallion PC is an excellent pure paint cleaner! I really like using the Medallion before any polish, as I like to get any crap off the paint before polishing. Make me feel better knowing that the only thing the polish needs to do is........ "polish"!

One quick thought on the Medallion paint cleaner. If you compare the performance of the Medallion to the red bottle 3-step department store stuff the differences are not noticable if there are any. At least this is my opinion.

The Medallion and a polishing pad on your PC is a nice system to clean up paint in decent shape. I find it refines small hairline scratches and im my opinion is polishes the surface just a little bit.

I have followed the cleaner with a coat of wax skipping the polish at times. On light colored cars it works great.

Best regards,
John

I guess what I really want to know is Medallion too strong (abrasive) for newer finishes?

No!

No its not abrasive on any paint really. It cleans with a chemical instead of an abrasive like a compound.

Sometimes on newer paint I use it instead of claying and then I wax. I like it and if you try it you will be pleased.
