if your using a Dual action polisher these 2 will be fine
Ultimate Compound
-Ultimate Polish.

If you doing this by hand, You might want to think of a cleaner wax to use. LIke Meguiars Black Wax

Sorry, I didnt word this question correctly. I was looking for a paint cleaner to prep the surface before sealing but it did not need to be meguiars. I was trying to find the best method possible to preping the surface. I know many professionals are on this page and don't like using over the counter products as i'm kind of the same way.

this is what I was referring to...I used this on my '14 focus just today but I can't find this product anymore.

After I created this post my good friend recommended this product from sonax.
SONAX Premium Class Paint Cleaner, car polish cleaner, sonax car polish cleaner, Sonax premium paint cleaner (http://www.autogeek.net/sonax-premium-paint-cleaner.html)

Does anybody have any experience with this product and is there any alternatives/better product(s) to use?

again it does not need to be meguiars but i'm just looking for the best method/product to use. I'm extremely picky with my mustang and only want to use the best of products on it.

Thank You!

I don't know anything about the Sonax, but any of the Meguiar's products listed will likely give better results that the Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner. I'm pretty sure they discontinued it a while ago and have come out with better products since then.
