Meguiars #80 and #83

[buja]

#80 is called a speed glaze and it claims to remove swirls.

do they actually "remove" swirls by filling ? since it is called a glaze ?



I think #83 is next up after #80 , and I think they do contain abrasives to remove swirls.



can anyone confirm this part bout filling for both products ?



also, will it be compatible to a sealant rather than a paste wax ?

Both can fill but have enough cut to remove defects when used properly. I have not found the filling ability of either product enough to write home about....



Depending on the sealant of choice (you can used some oil based sealants like NXT, #21, Wolfgang, etc) you can apply right after polishing. If you want to use a longer lasting sealant, you need to wipe the paints surface with alochol so none of the glazing oils affect the bonding of the sealant.

If you’re using a Meg’s sealant they’re completely compatible. You can use it immediately.

Take a look at this thread Question about #80 - Does it contain heavy fillers? - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online on the Megs forum.



According to Mike Phillips there are no fillers in #80 and he does a test to prove it.

i disagree with the no fillers theory....



mercedes benz black car...83 on a orange pad could not remove some defects, yet after I hit it with megs yellow pad and 80 the defects were "gone"...leading me to have first hand knowledge that at least 80 fills in to an extent...you're not going to fill in scratches, but micromarring and fine swirlmarks will either be removed or filled...
