With the greatest respect, are you sure?



I though the Megs Hand Polish is abrasive (grade 3 on the Megs scale I think) and that glazes, such as IHG isn`t abrasive, just a filler, full of oils and such.



Please correct me if I`m wrong (which I may well be!).



I already have abottle of IHG, so if you correct, I`ve just save myself £18.



Thanks,

Meg`s #81 Hand Polish is basically non-abrasive.

Meg`s #9 Swirl Remover 2.0 is a 3 on Meg`s 0 to 10 scale. The Meg`s Hand Polish is a 0.

I believe you may be confusing Hand Polish with the Swirl Free polish (#82) perhaps? :nixweiss As far as I know, Hand Polish and IHG are glazes, and Swirl Free is a mild abrasive swirl remover. If you`re looking for a swirl remover, the 3M equivalent would be SMR (light/dark).



There are a lot of posts about this stuff. Here are some (mediocre) examples:

Search for a recent discussion involving George Wax. As a former Megs rep he said that Swirl Free is the same as the newer versions of #9.
