    I already spent a couple hours searching but havent found a definitive answer.



    I am going to use DACP on my oxidized 12 year old paint. Assuming I work DACP enough and allow it to break down properly, will I need to use any product between DACP and Klasse AIO? In other words, will DACP will leave me a perfectly swirl free finish before I apply AIO and SG? If not, what product would you suggest (Possibly IP/FP then AIO)?



    Thanks in advance

    Yep, IP and FP are a possibility if you aren`t satisfied after the DACP. My standard procedure would be at least DACP then PI III MG. Follow with AIO and SG
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    I think it depends on the paint and your technique. I have never had to use anything between DACP and AIO, and I have used it on some black cars even. However, I have never used it on black German paints, and that`s where maybe some of the people who have problems have been coming from. I have used it on black Nissans and red VW`s not problem.

    You can use #9 or #82 (Swirl Free Polish from the Pro line).

    I think I may use #82....I recently found what seems to be a very cheap online source for meguiars stuff. Does it have any fillers or any type of oils i will have to remove prior to the Klasse twins?

    If the oxidation is severe, you may have to go over the paint twice with DACP. Follow with #82 and you should be in business for final prep.

    Online source for DACP? You don`t need one, go to Meguiars website and do a search for professional dealer locator. They should have DACP, SFP, HP, and a whole assortment of Meguiars BSP and Pro lines.

    How about 3m SMR? A good in-between? Or P21S GEPC? (just trying to make use of what I already have)

    Wouldn`t it be more logical to stick with IP/FP instead of laying down fillers with #82 and removing them with AIO only to find the imperfections you thought you removed? Just a thought.



    I had great results with IP ( where needed ) / FP prior to Zaino. No hidden little secrets jumped out at me later.
