Who Uses Meguiars #2 Fine-Cut Cleaner

[Dave N]

Does anyone use Meguiars #2 Fine-Cut Cleaner? This is my favorite swirl-removing polish! I`ve tried 3M SMR, DACP, and one other polish from Autoint, but I always come back to the #2. With a white pad and a PC it takes out swirls and leaves a great finish that`s ready for a sealant or wax. I`ve never experienced hazing with #2, and it doesn`t gum up the pad like DACP. The instructions say it`s for use with an orbital polisher only, but I love it with the PC! Curiously, the Autopia store says that you can use #2 FCC (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/meg-m-0216.html) with a DA or rotary, but the bottle and other sites say rotary only.



I`m just curious if anyone else uses this. It`s still winter here in Illinois, and I`ve got the detailing bug. I just put in an order for some NXT and #80 speed glaze, so hopefully we will have a warm weekend before long so I can try them out.

I use it! I am actually using it on a Vette right now that I am finishing tomorrow. Does anyone know if this can be used by hand? The customer won`t let me touch a buffer to his car and DACP isn`t strong enough on the black paint.

DACP is actually stronger than Fine Cut. You`ll have to go to a heavy cut cleaner or a compound to get much stronger than DACP.



I have use #2 with some success, but once I tried DACP, I never went back.

Maybe you should show the Vette guys this! Behold the power of the PC & NXT!

dacp is not stronger than fine cut.

spetulla, Megs abrasive scale rates DACP a 6 and Fine Cut a 5.

It`s actually a mis-print. Mike Phillips answered a question about this. FC is actually more agressive than DACP.

Corey Bit Spank, I did not hear about this, can you provide the link to the thread? If it is a mis-print than what does Megs rate Fine Cut on the abrasive scale?

You`re welcome. I was surprised too. I`m going to try it before DACP now.:)
