#20 provided better protection than Zaino....

[Mosca]

Thanks, Mike; I'd like that. Actually, all I care about its sheeting is to know that it sheets; what really interests me is its place in the Meg's lineup, its intended market, its durability & quality of shine compared to #s 26, 20, 16, stuff like that.

My observation: not overly durable, but OK; a good compromise of all the other properties: dark, but not the darkest, glossy but not the glossiest, reflective but not the most reflective, deep but not the deepest. I'd say its strongest characteristic is its "richness", ie darkening, followed by glossiness. It may not be the right product FOR ME, because I prize depth and reflectiveness, but it's definitely right for some people.

I don't think rubbing it in until it's almost gone is a good idea.

I would apply a thin, even coating, working the product in well.

Allow to dry/cure, 15 to 20 minutues and then remove with a big, soft, fluffy, clean, 100% cotton terry cloth towel.

IF you want to use a microfiber, use it after the terry cloth towel to do what microfibers are so good at and that's removing the finest of left over residues from the surface.

How does that sound?

Ok, I quit on trying it (#26). It's too hard to use when compared to P21S CW. (tho I don't doubt it's looks!).

Mike,

Yes I DID say a brief synopsis.

Let's try to understand that we converse on products, not necessarily bash them. Please do not be flippant as to the request, as I'm trying to be honest and open.


Please keep it short, as the long dissertation although well thought out and executed, was a bit much to read on this forum IMO please....

IMO, it would have been better if we could have read it off the forum and a breif synopsis on it would have sufficed.

Some of us just want to get quick read on how one product is over another etc. and it was just information overload.

Maybe you and David could have worked a link to the article, which I think would have been better than burying it in one of the forums.


DISCLAIMER: THE ABOVE IS IMO. There I said it.


Have a nice day!

Regards,
Deanski

Deanski...

I was just joking!

I certainly wasn't being flippant.

Seriously, I was just trying to be funny because most people know my posts can be long...

It's true, I have a hard time writing short copy.

When I put together the info on Gold Class and on our Abrasives, I promise to do my best to keep them brief, or I will create a dedicated webpage and just post the link.

How does that sound?

p.s.

I offered to send you a free bottle of the latest version of #20 Polymer Sealant... let me know if you want it and I'll send it out tomorrow plus a few other goodies.

Would you send it to Europe also? (our distributor doesn't carry half of that!) ..............I can pay for shipment

[Deanski]

OK, Sorry Mike, my bad... It's been a long day...

I'll give #20 a whirl on my company car as it may prove to be a good test bed as it sees daily driving, sits outside etc.

The Lexus sits in the garage and only comes out on nice days.

I'll PM you with more info.

Deanski

thanks mike, only good person of meguiars that has given good tech service of their products. Im glad you stand behind meguiars products with such confidence that you are given me the chance to try it out. If only other companies would stand behind their products just as well.

Mike, that sounds like I should use more product, or less rubbing it in till it's almost gone. I have been using a SMALL amount, and rubbing it in, that's why it looks like it's almost gone. I don't have any trouble removing now(second jar), the first jar was the bugger. But, I'll give your method a try. Thanks for the input.

I hear you...

I used to work 12 hour shifts in a clean room, (graveyard shift), for Hewlett-Packard.

After fighting complex machines all through the night, I noticed I had a tendency to be a little touchy at the end of the shift.

I made it a practice to never discuss issues or problems with the incoming replacements, (who were all fresh and zippy)

Things always went smoother that way.

It was a strange job.

[suginami]

Well Mike,

at least you are doing a job that you enjoy. Life is too short to work at a job that you hate, regardless of how much money you make.

FWIW, I enjoy reading your posts, especially the looooong ones. I have been saving them to my hard drive so that I can refer back to them easily.

Any dates yet on the training day for the mercedesshop.com forum regulars?
