    A local junk yard has agreed to let me work on the premises to test some products. Before the testing can begin, I would appreciate some tips in advance to strengthen my approach and findings.

    THe products being used are Tru Grit Compound, Finnesse IT 3, 3M SMR, 3M Scratch and Swirl, and Meguiars Body Scrub. I need to locate the latter 2 at a store, no luck yet. THe first two products, the compounds, I will NOT need to test. The latter 3 are in need of testing.



    Again, any help is appreciated along these lines.



    Also, please rate the abrasiveness of one polish to the next. If anything, this is most important.

    Use search function - many topics/threads about the abrasiveness levels of these products.

    Meguiar`s Body Scrub can be found at Autozone or similar auto store. 3M SMR is commonly found at NAPA stores, at least that`s where I get mine.



    As far as abrasiveness, I`d think the 3M SMR is slightly more abrasive than Body Scrub. Body Scrub is more of a cleaner than a leveler. I`ve never tried the 3M scratch and swirl....

    How about a webcam in the chatroom of someone using the new MF system?

    I have the perfect subject:

    http://truthindetailing.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=5690



    Tuesday Feb 22nd from 7-8pm est in the chat room.

    I will do my best to show you how the compounding MF pad and D300 polish work.

    Hoping to have a few of the other beta testers to narrate and make fun of me. :cornut:

    Sorry DC, yes est.

    As of right now my wife and daughter are scheduled to fly back in, so thats why I will have to cut it off at 8ish. They are having some show up that way, so if they dont make it in Tuesday night. I will stay on longer.
