Let me preface the question with an explanation of what products I use and why...
I use Meguiar's products on my car, almost exclusively, with the exception of a handful of products. The reason I use Meguiar's products is because they are readily available at most retail centers; I don't have to wait for orders to be shipped, I don't have to pay shipping, and if I run out of something I can get it from the store almost immediately.
So onto my question. I just bought my first DA (nothing fancy, it's a Harbor Freight model with some pads ordered from Auto Geek) and I want to step up my detailing game with my black 2014 Mustang GT and take it a little to the next level. I usually do a two-bucket wash with Meguiar's Wash & Wax Car Wash. I really like how it lubricates the panels as I'm washing and it seems to help hide any micro-marring that occurs from environmental wear. Damn, I hate owning a black car! I also have a bottle of Meguiar's Deep Crystal Car Wash that I bought after having a part painted for my car that had to stay wax free for some time.
If I'm preparing to do a paint correction with a compound, polish, and wax should I avoid using the Wash and Wax product or would it really matter as the compound would strip any wax left on the car anyways? Or should I use the Deep Crystal?
