Meguiars #83

Searched but couldn't find what I was looking for.



Is Megs #83 a "final" polish, or will it leave marring that needs to be eliminated with a finer polish? If the latter, what do you Megs #83 users recommend to follow it with?



Oh, and this would be using it with a PC.



Thanks!
 
It depends, if you use say diamond cut with a yellow pad, then you could clear up the haze with 83 on a white or gray LC pad



If you use 83 with a orange pad, it might leave some hazing, so follow up with 80 on a white pad or gray bad



BTW delete your other thread, there is no reason to make two
 
That totally depends on the paint. I have used 83 before with the PC on a section, then wiped it down with alcohol, and it needed tp be followed up with something else. I have also used it on a section, done an alcohol wipe down, and it was ready for wax.



A good follow up to the 83 is 80 (when using a PC).

+1 It really depends on how hard the paint is and what color it is. Harder paint will generally be less likely to have residual marring from the #83, and on lighter colors it will be more difficult to see.
 
Thanks for the quick responses guys.



Does #80 use fillers, since they call it a glaze? For that matter, does #83 use fillers?

I was previously using Pinnacle XMT polishes on my car, which use no fillers. Worked well, but XMT is kind of pricey and I can pick up Megs locally for a lot less so I wanted to try their line.



Oh, and I did delete my other post. Was having a problem posting (serious lag) and unintentionally posted twice.



Thanks again.
 
It is my understanding that 80 has some of the same oils in it, that are used in Meguiar's 7 (which is a straight glaze). After I polish my first section with 80, I always wipe it down with alcohol so I can see what the "real picture" is. 80 does correct... a little filling make take place, but there is also a good bit of correcting being done by the polish as well. The only thing I can tell you is that you are going to see different things on different paints, so do the wipe down after the first section, and check for yourself.
