I've been interested in this product of Meguiars ever since I seen them come out with it earlier this year. After seeing Marc08EX do a review on it I wanted to try it out even more! Link to his more in depth thread http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/60691-review-meguiar-s-da-power-system.html
Im not going to do a super in depth analysis/review of this since Marc did an awesome job covering it & already blew it out of the water. I'm simply going to add my opinions and thoughts on the product since Marc didn't have any of the compounding pads. I actually purchased some because my Mustang is a bit thrashed and trashed and wanted to see if this system could remove all the defects.
The products I used and purchased
Defects I was going up against!
Taped off
DA Power System Mounted and Compounding Pad Attatched along with some Megs Ultimate Compound. A little more than I like came out of the bottle but I decided to work with it.
I made about 4 section passes using moderate pressure and slow arm speed. I found it a bit difficult to operate this system with the compounding pad because it's so dense, but I soon adapted and overcame the issue. The Ultimate Compound reminded me a lot of M105 but it didn't dust quite as much and was slightly easier to remove. It dries fast so I had to do an IPA wipe to remove all the product when done. The compounding made an incredible improvement removing all defects (scratches, swirls, waterspots).
Here is a 50/50 after just the UC.
I then removed the compounding pad and attatched the yellow polishing pad and applied Ultimate Polish to it to remove any hazyness and add more clarity.
50/50s after Ultimate Polish
As you can see the Ultimate Polish further refined the finish like it is intended to. I also found the DAPS much easier to control with the yellow polishing pad. This product worked fantastic and just as advertised. I was really pleased with. Just another example of the quality products Meguiars Delivers.
I don't have much use for this personally as I have a Griots 6in DA and I use my PC 7424XP with a 3.5 LC BP and 4" pads. I really like the Megs pads over my LC hydrotechs though, and they are much easier to clean. However If I didn't have my PC I would would still get a lot of use out of it. This product is great for someone who doesn't have a dedicated small pad da. Its perfect for bumpers, rocker panels, drip rail moldings and painted mirrors and headlights. I will most likely just use it for spot repairs and headlights. Thanks for looking everyone!
