I just bought some of the original version the other day.
Are there any significant changes in 2.0 that make it vastly superior?

I think CARGUY a long time ago posted on the differences...do a search it should show up....
I asked a bunch of guys in the chat room about a month (2?) ago and they said 3M SMR is preferable to Meguiars original #9 for hand application. Those were the 2 available to me.

I haven`t seen 3M SMR anywhere in Winnipeg. Who caries the 3M products in your area? I bought my Meguiars original #9 from my local PARTS SOURCE store. If I recall, I saw mostly various 3M rubbing compounds on their shelves.

I got it at UAP/NAPA (which I assume is affiliated with the US stores). They had a whole display rack there. Maybe see if they can order it in?Originally posted by viper_chan

If there are any Pep Boys, Autozones, or O`Reileys up here they must be back east

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

Check out abay and I`ll have the prices there shortly.
I noticed in that first thread you linked to (the preliminary report) that someone asked how Meguiars labeled #9 and #9 2.0 as non-abrasive. I have asked Meguiars about that before and what they said is those products contain micro-abrasives. Apparently there is some limit or size that is considered an abrasive, and these don`t make the cut. This is why it can be a swirl-remover that obviously has some abrasion yet they call it non-abrasive. If you want to know if something has micro-abrasives, it`s best to ask. It might seem weird to have some "abrasive" limit or definition, but if you think about it, everything is somewhat abrasive. Even water has some abrasive property. Run it down your hood for 100 years and it will have an effect. So apparently #9 isn`t abrasive enough to be considered an abrasive.
