Nice would that pad compare to white CMA white polshing pad. The car looks great nice work

The more that I work with the orbital the more that I love my rotarty buffer. You really get the best results IMO.

That`s some impressive work!!!!

I`ll have to get some and give it a try.

Looks great! Very deep and wet.

I`ve been wanting to pick up some Speed Glaze for a long time but since I recently purchased a bottle of 3M PI-III Machine Glaze it`ll be a while before I need another medium abrasive glaze.

Question....how easy/hard is the Speed Glaze to buff off? The 3M PI-III Machine Glaze can be tough at times. Sometimes I have to use QD and a mf towel to get the residue off. Do you work the Speed Glaze until it`s gone or just till it appears to start drying?

Is it filling?

**frankie** · 07-29-2003, 08:46 PM

nice job

can you use that speed glaze by hand, how abrasive is it?

**Clean Dean** · 07-29-2003, 08:59 PM

This pad is definitely more aggressive than the white polishing pad and will take out minor scratches and swirls...

Meg`s Speed Glaze buffs out very easily, and it is definitely one of the finest products I`ve come across if some time. I try to buff out the product until it is almost completely eliminated. I did not take before pics of this car, and I should have !!!! I detailed (9) cars in the past 3 days and I used this product on (5) of them... All outstanding results !!!

Beemerboy... I have used my rotary continuously for the past 3 weeks... I love the PC, but the results attained by a rotary with proper usage and product is second to none !!!!

ditch the speed glaze and go to thier #66. You will get the same results but with a degree of finish protection.

Koop....from what I`ve read and been told by a Meguiars rep is that it will remove defects, not fill. Mind you, this isn`t first hand knowledge since I have yet to try it but just telling you what Megs rep told me. Maybe 2hotford could chime in as he has used it.

Superior Shine......I thought Speed Glaze contained a "paintable polymer", as Meguiars calls it. Speed Glaze is supposed to be a protective product designed to be safe for freshly painted vehicles. Plus, Clean Dean isn`t using Speed Glaze as a final finish, he`s topping with P21s.

I find speed glaze to be difficult to use in hot weather. For my needs #66 is best. It can be used as speed glaze even if you top it with something else.

Two products in one I guess. I don`t do any bodyshop work anymore. I do use #66 on my monthly maintenance clients with a pc.

Hey!

Speed Glaze is a very unique product. It does contain a paintable polymer which makes it safe for new paint while providing enough protection until the paint can cure.

It also has a high content of Meguiar`s Polishing oils so that it gives a deep dark shine like other Meguiar`s products such as #3, #7, or #81.

Finally, it also a cleaner, with Diminishing Abrasives. So as the cleaner breaks down, it polishes the surface. This is a huge advantage.

These characteristics make it unique in the Meguiar`s line up.

Compared to #66, a one step cleaner/wax "specially formulated for high-production reconditioning", I find Speed Glaze quite superior in terms of shine and gloss. Moreover, the Speed Glaze can be used on uncured paint whereas #66 can not.

As it is a polymer product, you must let it dry on the surface before removal in order to allow the polymer to bond properly. You should allow at least 15-20 minutes before removing.

Cheers!
