meguairs or rain x

White96ZQ8 · 01-24-2009, 01:52 PM

I have been using meguiars deep crystal car wash and i noticed i had a few jugs of rain x wash. Is there a big difference or advantage to using either of these? I know the rain x has Carnauba beads and ther meguiars doesnt. Do the beads do anything for cleaning, or are they acting as a protectent to the paint? Heres some links to what i am currently using and the rain x.

Use the Meguiars, though theres a lot better soaps out there.

i've used both but with the rain x you get a better base for waxing...

How do you think?

I doubt you can go wrong with either.

I will try the rain x, I got the deep crystal because thats all the local store had. I was going to get gold class next time but i thought i would try the rain x and if I like it I may stick with it. What exactly do the carnauba beads do in the wash?

Ive used the meguiars clay bar, and i have some meguiars mirror glaze hand polish from my other paint jobs. I am really happy with both. at the body shop we use 3m compound polish and glaze, I have thought about switching from meguiars but i have to goo dluck with it.
