Meguiar's Mirror Glaze 205 Professional Ultra Finishing Car Polish 946ml M20532

Product Information

If you use these products as intended, you should at least get a decent result though. For example, don’t expect their Hot Rims wheel cleaner to be a touch-free solution for neglected wheels – you’ll have to agitate it with a brush and might need to repeat the process a few times. In the end, it’ll work.

Renowned for its superb glimmering finish, #7 Show Car Glaze is legendary among those who swear by the hand-rubbed philosophy. But it achieves splendid results when applied by orbital buffer or dual action polisher, also. This is a true showman's glaze originally developed for the avid collector, serious enthusiast and show-car exhibitor. The depth of shine is nothing short of stunning! There’s a lot more to Meguiars as a company than you might realize. The truth is, they’ve created a few lines of products that many professionals continue to use on a regular basis. This is another versatile product that Meguiars offers (notice a theme yet?) and can be used to boost the wax on your paint, as a drying aid, on wheels, and even as a protectant for interior plastic and vinyl. Meguiar’s Hyper DressingThis is still one of the best spray waxes on the market. Although it’s not intended to be diluted like other products in the Detailer lineup, it does come in a one gallon jug. D156 X-Press Spray Wax is still a bargain because you can buy that gallon for only a few dollars more than a 16 oz bottle of another product. But just like the hobbyist level products from those other companies, there are more efficient options out there. It just so happens that Meguiars offers those too. If you're already familiar with this intense glaze, you've already come to appreciate how essential it is to a concours-quality finish. If this is your first experience with #7 Show Car Glaze, prepare to be wow'd! This is the very same product used by the expert detailers in the show circuit. For years they've relied heavily on Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze to get the high-definition gloss finish that is so coveted by motoring enthusiasts. In general, Meguiars consumer line of products is on par with most of the products from Chemical Guys and Adams Polishes. I know that might make some of you fanboys of those companies upset, but remember that product choice is very subjective. Some Meguiars products might work better, some might not work as well.

Meguiars might not have invented the microfiber cutting pad but they certainly changed the detailing industry with it. To this day, the Meguiars microfiber cutting pad is arguably the most popular one out there. In fact, there’s so much love for it that other companies sell punch sets to be able to create your own smaller sizes that Meguiar’s doesn’t offer. Meguiars compounds are designed to cut well initially, then die off when they’re done. The trouble most people run into is usually caused by working them for too long. These are meant to be short cycled – get in and get out. There are a lot of old timers that have used the Meguiars Mirror Glaze line throughout their whole career. They’ve learned how to use their favorite products in a way that works best for them. These aren’t the folks that are interested in chasing the latest and greatest things in the industry. They’ve got a job to do and they know the product they’ve been comfortable using for the last 20 years will get it done. I’m a big fan of D300 compound. I tend to use it on cars that only suffer from swirl marks and moderate scratches because it’s so user friendly, keeps heat down, and creates very little dust. Out of curiosity, I’ve put it to the test and removed heavy sanding marks from a poorly finished aftermarket paint job, even with a short throw polisher! That’s no joke for such an easy to use product. Interesting new productsMany of their products still come in the same plain yellow bottles you see on the dusty shelves of body shops. It’s no surprise that DIY detailers are drawn to the “Super Citrus Yum Yum Wash Goop” that other companies sell. Meguiars tends to focus more on developing and testing the product itself and less on fancy marketing. Yes, expensive compounds that use diminishing abrasives might be easier to use for beginners. They might even have darkening agents, nice smells, and pretty bottles. But for knowledgable detailers that are only concerned with removing defects from the paint, Meguiars is often the most efficient way to go. Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner and Super Degreaser

One of my earliest detailing experiences happened roughly 14 years ago. I wanted to revive the paint on my MR2, so I bought the Meguiars 3-step system from Canadian Tire.

Meguiars doesn’t do this. Rather than taking the same polish everyone else uses, changing the color to pink and calling it their own, they create, test, and manufacture their products themselves. Meguiars spends years testing and developing their stuff, so when they decide it’s ready to hit the market, they know it works without needing to update it every year.

For those that enjoy using iron and fallout removers that change color, Meguiars has come out with a new one. D1801 Wheel and Paint Iron Decon is the latest member of the Detailer family. It’s ph-neutral and is safe to use on both your wheels and paint. Not many other companies are marketing these products to be used on both (although many can be), so I think this one is pretty cool. So are Meguiars products really any good? People complained about them relying too much on past successes and Meguiars listened. They’ve launched some really interesting new products for 2019. Possibly the most exciting is a new compound ( M110) and polish ( M210).I want to make it clear that Meguiars isn’t paying me to write this. I just wanted to help set the record straight about this company and to explain why I continue to use a lot of their products. Meguiars vs. Chemical Guys and Adams Polishes
