I’ve never used
DACP so I didn’t include it in my response to OUCH, but from what I’ve heard it is more aggressive than Meg’s #9 or PI-3 Machine Glaze.
I have used Meg’s #9 quite a bit and also fairly recently, but I did not do a side-by-side comparison of #9 to PI-3 Machine Glaze or Finishing Glaze. Maybe I burned too many doobies in the ‘60s and my memory is gone, but after using both PI-3 MG and FG this weekend my impression is that the PI-3 MG is a little more aggressive than Meg’s #9, and that PI-3 FG is a little less aggressive than Meg’s #9.
The PI-3 MG’s bottle says that it is to be used with a rotary, but I was pleased with it on my Porter Cable RO buffer. The PI-3 FG’s bottle says that it is to be used by hand or with a DA. I didn’t try it by hand.
Rain-on - - I used CMA’s pads. With the Machine Glaze I tried both the yellow (medium cut) cutting pad and the white (light cut) polishing pad. With the Finishing Glaze I used both the white (light cut) polishing pad and the gray (no cut) finishing pad. I used speed settings of 4.5 to 5 with the yellow pad, 4.0 to 4.5 with the white pad, and 3.5 to 4.0 with the gray pad. I don’t have a lot of Porter Cable experience, so I’m still in the learning stage about pad, speed, and product combinations.
