Wow, I got a chance to use this stuff today. It's awesome! I'd DACP'd the horizontal parts of my car to remove some swirling, then went over the whole car with #80 by PC with a polishing pad. I was pretty amazed to see a noticeable difference on the hood when I did half of it. I had applied DACP by PC and a polishing pad as well, and it hadn't seemed to have left any hazing. But once I went over it with #80, the haze was apparent (don't get me wrong, the paint after DACP looked sweet!). I was surprised by how much better it looked with the #80.



I was also amazed by the absolute lack of dust. There was zero dusting from #80, which I definitely can't say about DACP, or even about SFP. I don't get a lot of dust from SFP, but I do get a bit. I think #80 will be my go-to polish now on the Aurora. It has about the cleaning ability of SFP, maybe a tad more (which is what it says on the side too), but leaves a glossier finish.



It actually looks and smells a lot like the #7 I have and the Hand Polish I've seen. It isn't white like #82 and #83, rather it is brownish/grey and has a smell similar to #7 rather than the SFP/DACP smell. It's really easy to use, leaves lots of gloss, and wipes off very easily as well. If you are looking for an easier to use polish on the cut level of SFP/#9, I really suggest you give it a try. It's really great stuff!



On a side note, I'm really liking ColorX more and more. The glass on my wife's car got it when I did the big detail job last week, and it subsequenty got totally covered with bugs. It rained today and the whole windshield is completely bug-free. Not just the areas the wipers run over, but the whole thing. I also just used it on the 'roara wheels and it is like AIO but leaves the finish even smoother and a bit wetter/glossier looking than AIO/SG. :xyxthumbs



I'm also liking Wolfgang more and more. I used it again on the Aurora because it is just so dang easy to use. I'll probably apply some Blackfire over it, but then again maybe I won't... The car looks really really good... :bigups
 
Glad to hear the #80 works for you. To be honest, it's the only Meg's (abrasive) polish that I really like- and I *do* like it.
 
I'm looking to buy a PC in the coming week or so. Is #80 aggressive enough to remove whats on the car now? Just SMR and NXT. Thanks for writing about your results, Aurora40.
 
jrocc1212 - Yeah, the #80 will remove paint (that's how it removes marring), so it'll cut right through whatever product is on there.

Interesting... I'll have to get some to try.
 
I've praised #80 on this board every chance I can get. It is used in every detail I do. Whether as the initial polish or to follow up DACP or the like, I think it's a tremendous product.



My favorite combo is #80 followed up with the new Menzerna glaze. WOW! :eek: Top with Souveran paste and you have a routine that is hard to beat.
 
#80 is a hidden hero in Meguiars line-up, which is now in the limelight. An excellent product, easy to work with and cleans up well. #80 is definitely a go to product.

aurora,put he blackfire over it awesome the combo is great also bf over fmj just adds pop and depth:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
 
I never heard of #80 until the Meguiar's meet... Scott was using it on a 350Z that he was detailing. IMO, it is not as slick as #82 - to me, it leaves a somewhat squeaky clean surface. Mike Phillips gave me a little sample to take home and I tried it on our LS400 which I detailed a few days ago. On the black parts of the car, I noticed that #82 left a deeper color than the #80. I do like how it breaks down really fast and the fact that it's really easy to remove...

Does #82 maybe have some wax in it? Or maybe more oils?

Spilchy,

For me, it's been just the opposite. SFP leaves a squeaky surface on my paint. Though it does definitely add some gloss and the surface looks nice after SFP. But #80 leaves it feeling slicker, mainly due to the glazing oils, I'd guess. It definitely leaves it glossier, like it had just been #7'd.



None of the #8x's have wax in them, though they all have some oils to act as a buffer/lube while polishing. #80 seems to have glaze-type oils specifically for glaze-type gloss, not just for buffering.



Thom, I'm probably gonna put BF on the car this afternoon. :xyxthumbs
 
I've also noticed how much the paint squeaks after using #80.Seems odd for a polish that's supposed to leave some slight protection.

The 80's series are all body shop safe products. That means they can be used in fresh paint environments without contaminating the shop environment, or negatively affecting surface adhesion.



Typically, products with wax, grease, silicone, and I'll guess a lot of polymers, both natural and synthetic, are not welcome in body shop environments. (I’ll guess if a product causes high surface tension, i.e. it causes water to bead up, then if it were to get onto a panel before painting it would cause fish eyes)



If a product is formulated for use in body shop environments, i.e. it contains no ingredients that will affect surface adhesion, then the manufactures will usually put the words, "Body Shop Safe", or "Contains no wax or silicone", somewhere on the label. Products like these are usually sold through paint stores, (PBE stores), 3M and Meguiar’s are two well known examples of companies that formulate and supply products to the re-finishing industry.



Paint protectant type products are typically not body shop safe because they contain ingredients that could contaminate body shop environments by causing surface adhesion problems.



Speed Glaze is unique in that it contains a synthetic polymer that offers a little protection, (like a wax or paint protectant), but does not affect surface adhesion and will not contaminate a body shop environment. It will also not seal the paint like a wax or paint protectant, and prevent solvents from out-gassing, or the paint from properly curing.



Speed Glaze in very rich in Meguiar’s polishing oils, similar to #7 Show Gar Glaze and #81 Hand Polish, which creates gloss and beauty.



Speed Glaze is also unique because the diminishing abrasive used in this product breaks down very quickly, so it only cuts, or abrades at the very beginning of the process and then it breaks down and turns into a rich, non-abrasive polish.

Are you sure? The product description on Megs website says it "cleans, polishes and protects in one simple step".



Anyone else care to comment? I'd like to know one way or the other.
