Meg's #81 is no VM!

Used Meg's #81 Hand Polish today for the first time. I was expecting it to be comparable to VM, but was a little disappointed.



#81 is thicker so doesn't spread as easily as VM. It also is a little harder to buff off, but it's still fairly easy. I don't believe the shine rivals VM either.



I'm still glad I purchased #81 as it cost me less than 1/2 the price of VM. In the future I'll be using #81 on all of the freebie jobs I do for friends on their beaters.
 
I believe you are comparing apples with oranges?

#81 is a hand polish where VM is a combo product - cleanser (extremely mild polish)/glaze/ protectant IMO and experiences. :nixweiss



VM is a very unique product in my book.
 
I know they're not the same, but I believe the difference is a fine line. #81's nomenclature suggest it's a polish, but it's also used as a glaze for clearcoats (kind of like a combo product).
 
I think to be fair, you'd have to follow up #81 with #82 (hand polish). Then you'll get the wet shine of VM. However, that would negate the price advantage of #81 over Vm, I guess. :nixweiss
 
I think you are used to the bright and reflective look you get from VM, #81 has a deeper look to me. Try using it on black before you give up on it.

Scottwax,



I'm not giving up on #81 and I shouldn't have implied this is a negative review of #81. It's a good product. Just not as pleasant to work with as VM.



BTW, I can't get over how great VM is on windows!
