Product Description

Mothers California Gold Pure Polish - 16 ounce (Ultimate Wax System, Step 1) is the foundation of the ultimate wax system. It helps in preparing your paint for micro-polishing glaze and for pure Brazilian carnauba wax. The pure polish removes oxidation, old wax buildup and other contaminants, cleaning and shining your paint. This mild polish smoothens the edges of larger imperfections and removes small scratches. The paint's appearance is dependent on a good polishing - Mothers pure polish should be used at least once or twice per year. It was previously known as California gold pre-wax cleaner, step 1.

Mother's is the best
By K. Call
I've used Mother's products, particularly the Sealer and Glaze and the Carnuba Wax for years, and always been satisfied with the results. I have a 2006 Milano Red Acura RSX,(the last year that they were made) and I treat it better than some people treat their kids,according to my wife.
I just used the Pre-wax cleaner for the first time, and it works great.
I even tried it on my wife's Civic EX, on some minor scratches that appeared, and it took them right out. I have never had a problem or not been happy with any Mother's product that I tried. Very good product.

Good Pre-wax Cleaner
By Michael C. Mundt
I'm not exactly sure why people rated this product low for not polishing. As far as I can tell, this product is for removing old wax and oxidation (it says that right on the bottle). So for it's intended purpose, I thought it did a nice job. To me, this is a prep product for the next two steps than an actual polisher. I can only assume people reviewing this don't understand it's intended purpose.

I used an orbital buffer and had no problems applying and removing this product. It definitely did remove remaining wax and left a nice clean surface to work with. For this, I give the product 5-stars because it works as advertised. No complaints here!

This is Good Stuff!
By Gospeltrumpetmusicdotcom
I have a 1970 American Motors AMX with the bittersweet orange color which I bought new and drove until 1983. Since then, the car has set under the carport, uncovered, collecting dirt and grime. Its only use has been to serve as our cats "perch". You can hardly imagine how tired and run-down it looked. Truthfully, I was skeptical... but a friend who does auto detailing told me to give the Mothers three-step product a try. So based on that recommendation, I ordered it through Amazon as it was not available locally. I was excited to see what the old buggy could look like.

I soon found out one thing - This product takes a lot of rubbing. After rinsing the car off (it doesn't run yet, so I just sponged it off) to get the worst of the grime off, then set to work with the cleaner. I also purchased the Mothers 4 Paint ball and used that in my drill along with lots of rubbing with some old fluffy athletic socks.

First coat done: and the results were n othing short of amazing; However, some haze was still visible. So I applied a second coat of cleaner. That one went on much easier, and following the final hand rub, the haze was gone.

I wish that I could post photos here for you to see the before and after - Only photos could demonstrate what this product, followed by the step 2 sealer, and step 3 carnuba wax has done.

Since the car had been virtually unprotected for nearly 30 years, and exposed to wind, temperature extremes, and blowing rain and snow, there were quite a few surface rust bubbles peeking through the paint. They still remain (after all, it's an old car with completely original paint). But that's okay - The Mothers three step product did its job and I am a happy camper.

The only recommendation I would have is to buy two bottls of cleaner if you have a car in a similar condition. I ran short and had to buy a second bottle. In my mind, that's a small price to pay.

I will be posting this same review under the step two and step three products to help anyone who may miss this particular review. The system is also available as a complete 3-step kit. You can save a few bucks on shipping to buy it that way.

Happy Waxin'... <><
