Should Meguiar`s bring M101 Foam Cut Compound into the U.S. Market?

Let your voice be heard!

I said yes! Clearly it has it purpose and everyone seem to like it. Plus it`s already made in the US so why not?

Thanks for the vote Chad. I`m hoping to get the ball rolling on this and see if we can convince the men and women over at Meguiar`s to bring sell M101 stateside. Meguiar`s has always been wonderful at listening to their customers, and hopefully we get enough support on this to get them to seriously consider this crazy request.

Yes, yes, and yes.



Why wouldn`t they?

2 good reasons:



Probably because way too many idiot newbs are going to be eating up paint?



May take market share away from the rest of their polishing compounds?

As a whole, I don`t think the introduction of M101 here would do that much to the sales of existing polishes. I`m assuming Meg`s profits come mostly from the OTC, average Joe-using stuff that`s sold in places like Walmart,Advance Auto,etc. ,etc. I would think M101 is too much of a niche product and at worst, would threaten similar harm that old school rocks-in-a-bottle products did back-in-the-day by those untrained with a polisher?

I really believe that there needs to be another poll for those who have used M101. Specifically, if you have used M101, what did you think of it?



There are a number of ways to market M101. First of all, it is a quick cutting compound; it laughs at just about any defects. For the body shop industry, having a compound that quickly removes sanding marks, this would be a very desirable trait. Second, it is an alternative for M105.



Will it replace M105? It has for me, but that`s not to say that it has done so for by everyone.



Is it dangerously aggressive? Well, I`ve heard about people burning through with something as light as ScratchX. If you are correcting the paint, you are taking a risk. Obviously, this is not a polish meant for final finishing.



I understand the idea of having a machine and pad specific polish, but I have not experienced any undesirable defects with M101 when used outside its intended use (rotary with wool, DA and foam, DA and MF pads and Flex). I`m not trying to say that M101 is as flexible as M86, but it sure comes close!

:werd: That`s pretty much all I can come up with.

But can`t you screw up paint in many other ways. Doesn`t necessarily have to be with using M101, right? Poor practices, inferior products, or just having improper techniques can destroy paint, right?

[David Fermani]

Sure can, but with M101 it takes a fraction of the time to do it in. Like adding fuel to the fire.

[David Fermani]

Meg`s should do what Optimum does with their coating.....have people sign a waiver.

Ok...so who voted no? :nono:
