Which products in the Meguiar`s range are silimar to the following 3M products:



3M Perfect-It Fine Cut Rubbing Compound

3M Finesse-It II Machine Polish

3M Perfect-It Swirl Mark Remover for Dark Colored Cars

3M Swirl Mark Remover for Light Colored Cars



Also have I ranked the 3M products from most abrasive to least abrasive correctly?

Yes, I think you`ve ranked it right, with the 2 swirl removers being equal of course.



I think the closest thing Meguiar`s has to FCRC is #2 Fine Cut Cleaner, although they suggest using this only with a rotary and not by PC or hand.... I don`t think they have an equivalent to FI-2 as far as I know, but aren`t 100% sure of that. #9 Swirl Remover is broadly similar to the 3M products although you`ll find some people that like one over the other.



You may want to peek at the thread linked in my signature for some more insight on how 3M rates these polishes. Hope that helps.

I think DACP is very simiar to Finess-It II, but is a bit milder. #2 Fine Cut compound is not very useful. I have used it, and it`s really not much harsher than SMR (which is a bit more aggressive than #9). I think of that line, the Medium Cut cleaner (can`t remember the number, #3 maybe?) would be closer to FI-II.
