Just curious as to whether or not the rumors hold any water....thats all.

I love Megs. products and I`m rather excited to see what they have in store

Yes the rumors are true. The game will change.... shortly....

It sounds quite interesting. Unfortunately, he didn`t know a whole lot about it. He did say that it could be released within the next year, but didn`t know for sure.

Anyone else heard anything about this?

I`m not 100% sure I would agree with this. In all fairness the need for rotary polishers has already been eliminated. I can remove 1500 grit sanding scratches from cured paint with a DA and the right combination of pad, buffing liquid, and technique. It doesn`t mean the DA is the best choice in every situation, and I still like to use a rotary, but modern abrasive technology has already changed the game.

At the end of the day enthusiasts will be able to achieve professional results in less time, and open minded professionals will hopefully be as good as the enthusiast

not to mention, you can find megs locally and is reasonably priced...

:nixweiss I still can`t get stuff out of Audi paint very well with a DA, rotary is a lot faster. To be quite honest, I like using it too.

I think our cars might be in rougher condition generally than what you guys are getting across the workshop floor. There`s no way we could put our rotary`s aside. Our DA`s are still very much for finishing.

I`m keen to know more about this product. I`d be only too happy to be the guinnea pig for the NZ market if anyone in Meguiar`s Land is listening

**Envious Eric** · 04-25-2010, 02:19 AM

so its going to be a compound like 105, but finish down like 205? whats it called? 310? hahaha

I cant stand teasers like this..

If there is, the search over there can`t find it.

I`ve seen the future of "paint technology" and it`s not "paint" really at all.

Think about going into your car dealer and looking at "blank" cars with no finished paint job. You then pick out your color from a selection. 2 or 3 days later you come back to pick up your car with its applied painted film.

Get keyed or have a fender bender? No problem bring by our shop and we will remove your damaged film and fix your key mark or get a new fender and new film.

No more body shops. In a year or so if you get tired of your chosen color come by and have it changed.

Yet the need for advanced polishes will continue because there will still be so many single and 2 stage painted cars out there it will keep detailers busy for years to come.

Sounds quite different and interesting, but I can assure you it`s not going to happen anytime in the next several decades. There will alway be body shops unless these are throw away vehicles.

**Envious Eric** · 04-25-2010, 11:45 AM

yeah I highly doubt that will be the case. Seems a little far fetched.

I know premier is doing full wraps with different color film, but I cant see the world switching over to it...

There are very few things that technology hasn`t caught up to allow the consumer to do it themselves. Lowes, Menards, Home Depot make their money on "do it yourself" consumers. There`s not one thing I can`t go into a store and buy to complete the project myself.

The market place is full of busy, lazy or not interested consumers that are willing to pay someone to perform that service for them.

But in the same sentence I have always had the understanding that what I do for a profession is not rocket science and if I can learn to use a buffer, believe me, so can you. An overinflated sense of ones self worth with always be ones demise.
