Is it possible that the gloss enhancers / fillers in Meguiar`s #83 DACP and #80 Speed Glaze hide the true condition of the paint so much so that a detailer would think he`s done prepping the paint for the LSP?
IMHO, one of Meguiar`s intentions for these abrade-then-glossify/fill products was to save time (less work) and money (fewer products required) for the detailer.
Of course, this greatly depends on the detailer`s skill as some use #80 (or a similar product) to remove micro-marring left behind by #83 while others go directly to the LSP after #83 or #80 (maybe this group didn`t see any more defects because of the fillers?).
Maybe it`s easier to see the true condition of the paint using polishes that don`t fill? I`d hate to have to redo the paint prep again because the fillers hid the remaining defects. Do I have a valid concern?
