Latest Acquisition: Meguiar's M101

Gianni D said:
I received my quart on Saturday. Thanks for making this happen.



Glad to hear it got there Gianni! Thank you again for your order.









I have a few more orders ready that will be shipped tomorrow.
 
OK folks, due to a few people who decided they did not want the M101 they initially pre-ordered, I have several factory sealed gallons now available for immediate shipping upon receipt of payment.



If anyone is interested, please contact me via PM. These are going for $200 SHIPPED.



Depending on interest I may be willing to open these gallons and sell quarts or other smaller sizes in secondary containers, but for the time being there are no other sizes available.



Thanks guys!
 
I've had a handful of additional orders that have shipped; there are still 12 gallons available at this time. PM me if you're interested -- quantity discounts will apply!

Unfortunately I do not; I do however still have 10 gallons remaining in stock.



Forgive me for not reading the entire thread to answer my question. I'm completely out. What is a gallon going for? Thank you

A detailing buddy just saw my post and called me. I did him a favor awhile back and he is sending me some 101 as a thank you. If I need more I'll certainly hit you up. Thanks

Gotcha. No worries!
 
911Fanatic told me about this thread. I'll have to subscribe to this for when you're ready to break it down for shipping a quart ;)
 
A little late to this thread but I was just chatting with someone about M101 and looking up the MSDS

Don't use Meguiars products at all but have tested heaps of them since 1990



Now whilst it was said that m101 can take out heavy sanding marks with ease and by hand, why would you want to do it by hand and why use M101 when a Rayon pad that I've been testing since 2011 can take out 1000 to 1500 grit sanding marks by DA, RO or rotary with a single polish system or traditional light cut polish/swirl remover in 10 seconds and then jewelled down for a few minutes to get a light cutting foam quality finish. And except for a body shop doing a quickie as many do, why stop at 1500 grit when theres 2000 to 6000 grit sanding discs available.



Us detailers shouldnt be in this industry to take shortcuts, I never will



The rayon pads were made for 1000 grit and finer sanding mark removal and removing scratches from glass, they work superbly well on medium to very hard paint and finish down as good as MF and light cut foams on most paints and haze/marring free on hards



Want to make the finish even better with them, fit a sanding interface pad in between plate and pad on a rotary or a DA or change to a thicker, softer, plusher backing plate to finish with

I have two rotaries and many other tools including the dynabrade heads on both rotaries and I fit one with a stiff plate and the other with a thicker, softer plate and use the first plate to correct and grab the second machine to finish if I have the time, otherwise I just throw in the interface pad



I respect all the people here, especially the great Kevin Brown, Jason Rose and the people at Meguiars and kudos to the people at Megs for making this product, not putting the product down at all or saying I know more than anyone else, no way but my point is, I just wanted to share my preference of sanding mark and other heavy mark removal, sanding marks are fairly easy to remove most of the time, it's the straight line grooved scratches and other very deep marks that are harder I find thus why sanding discs are there just in case in my shop



I believe that in the future there will be a universal pad that's made of a material we havent seen yet that will will do anything you want correction and finishing wise with just a change of plate type, technique, machine and hand speed etc, all with one polish. Today and in the future, I will only use one polish for some work and two for the super high end work.



So I say get all these pads and choose the rayon, surbuf or velvet and denim with a softer polish before going whole hog with the M101 paint leveller. I'd rather use a single polish system with various pads, listed below than get out some mega abrasive levelling polish with a foam or wool pad. those pads are still good but I like the other pads more. I'm sure meguiars HQ have made this product so that it doesnt finish like **** unlike some manufacturers but it just isn't for me



We now have denim, velvet, Rayon, surbuf and microfibre from optimum and meguiars and now even better looking MFs from Flexipads in UK, my favourite manufacturer. And of course, the trusty old school wool and foam

who knows what else we will have in the future (human hair might make a good one hehe) and

Power tools with 3, 5, 8, 14,15, 19 and 21mm orbit throw as well as a tonne of DA backing plates from Flexipads UK from super stiff mega thin type to 16mm thick ultra soft ones for finishing



So lots of ways to change the cut up or down and improve the overall finish



Just wanted to share my thoughts. I'm sure M101 has it's place, it just wont be seen at my place

I'm mega passionate about paint refinishing and doing it the smartest and safest way possible whilst achieving world class finishes that preserve the paint as much as possible so no compounds, solvents, dusty polishes, short working time polishes regardless of how much water you spray on, no silicones or fillers.



Finish is always more important than cut

Happy to be corrected if I said anything incorrect in this post,



Happy and safe polishing everyone

Matt

Man, Charlie, I guess you didnt expect to have this stuff this long...



If they'd been quarts, they'd have been gone long ago; I had several people pre-order Gallons and then decide they didn't want them.



There's enough here to last me a series of lifetimes as it is :lol:
