The Meg`s pads are not bad at all. I probably have 8 or 10 of them and have no real complaints. I did rip the Velcro part way off one, but I was able to reglue it. It may have been my fault for getting in too big of a hurry.
If you have #80, I would use it in place of the #9. By using #80, you may not need the #83 at all. Your reference to "light coat" with #80 makes me think you are expecting the #80 to leave something on the paint. It doesn`t, it just polishes. After using it, you should be ready for your #21 or NXT.
So, given the new mix of products, here`s a new mix of process.
1. #80 with a polishing pad. It will take out a lot of flaws, but it does take some time when using a PC.
2. #83 with another polishing pad
only where and if needed.
3. #80 again where you used the #83. Again,
if needed. Quite often #83 will finish ready for the wax.
4. #21 or the NXT by hand since both are very easy on and off.
I did a detail on a friends 2005 Black Saturn Vue that had several parking lot door scuffs. He actually thought the paint was gone. With #80, a polishing pad and some time, I was able to clean them up. I then followed up with liquid NXT Tech Wax with a polishing pad to take advantage of the cleaning/polishing capabilities of the NXT. If I was doing it again, I think I would apply the NXT by hand. I`m not 100% sold on the advantage of using the PC for the last step product.
Anyway, two products, two pads, two steps and it looked great.
