    What is D300 ?

    And you know, I'm OK with that! :buffing:

    What is D300 ?

    What you would use following D300/DMC5 sort of depends on what you're after. Obviously in a simple two step detailing process, which is what the DAMF System was designed for, the logical choice is D301/DMF5. But, as we know, quite often a higher level of finish is being chased, in which case...

    What is D300 ?

    Well, since we actually don't recommend using our W7207 maroon cutting pad with a DA the point is almost moot. I can tell you, however, that just before we released the DAMF System we had a few well known, local detailers come by our training garage for some final testing/evaluation. One of...

    What is D300 ?

    M105 in and of itself has more cut than D300, that's true, but D300 coupled with a microfiber cutting disc has more total cut than M105 on a foam polishing pad. It also creates much less dust, is easier to wipe off, and quite a bit less expensive - it was specifically formulated to work with...

    Meguiar's M101 Foam Cut-Compound versus Swirls!

    Re: Meguiar's M101 Foam Pad Polish versus Swirls! You're right, Mike. As we've stated many, many times, M101 was developed primarily for the European refinishing/collision repair industry where not only the paint is quite a bit different, but so is the operator's workflow. Wool pads are...

    Megs microfiber cutting disc disappointent

    We're sorry to hear that you had an issue with any of our microfiber dics, but we hate to see you give up on them so quickly. The DMC5 disc with D300 will give you more cut than even M105 on a foam pad when working with a DA buffer, and this system usually really likes hard paint. The DA...

    Meguiars #00 Hi-Tech Wash Discontinued?

    Yes, sadly it was indeed discontinued a couple of years ago. Apologies for any inconvenience this poses, but Shaun's suggestion of using M-62 instead would be our recommendation as well, even with the increased foaming over M-00.

    Did 3m buy out meguiars

    This really sums it up for us here at Meguiar's since becoming part of 3M. The biggest changes since 3M came into the picture have been on the supply side of things, making all of the "behind the scenes" things easier and smoother. As for R&D, Marketing, etc that is all still done in house...

    Anybody else use D-300 with a rotary and foam pads?

    Well, I'm not based in Redondo - I work for Meguiar's in Irvine (I run our forum) and do some detailing on the side for mad money and to keep myself sharp and exposed to different situations. Well, D300 was specifically designed for DA use and is part of our DA Microfiber Correction System, so...

    Anybody else use D-300 with a rotary and foam pads?

    Ah yes, the never ending experiments. Don't think you guys have cornered the market on experimenting, though, as we do it too! Case in point - I take care of a couple of cars for a guy in Redondo Beach, a 2007 Mercedes SL55 AMG and a Superformance Cobra, both black. The Cobra loves M205 on a...

    Wally World stepping up.....

    Here on Autogeek's forum, no. We wanted to be sensitive to the fact that this discussion is essentially steering people away from Autogeek to purchase product that Autogeek sells.

    Wally World stepping up.....

    Hey guys, we're happy to hear that you're all so excited about availability of some of our Pro Products at WalMart! Please keep in mind that these products are only at a limited number of stores so it's always a good idea to call ahead before rushing out to check local inventories. And by...

    Review - Meguiar's D114 Rinse Free Express Wash

    Chris, it's good to know that the polymers Optimum uses in ONR won't impede any correction process that might be used subsequent to washing with ONR. Some polymers certainly will, and we see it in the real world. We chose not to include any polymers or waxes in D114 for a variety of reasons...

    Review - Meguiar's D114 Rinse Free Express Wash

    Charlie is on the right track here - D114 is far from just a "watered down regular shampoo". No clue who might have said/pondered/theorized that or why, but it's way off the mark.

    Review - Meguiar's D114 Rinse Free Express Wash

    No plans at the moment for sizes less than a gallon, sorry.

    Review - Meguiar's D114 Rinse Free Express Wash

    Jon, that plan including a bit of pre-soak is a great idea, and a pretty common one with other, similar products. I'll try to chime in here a bit more often if I can, as long as the good folks at Autogeek don't mind ;)

    Review - Meguiar's D114 Rinse Free Express Wash

    Thanks for the positive and very in depth review of this new product of ours! We want to address a couple of things, though: Regarding dilution ratio, we are going to be clarifying this in our new catalog and upcoming tech bulletin to reflect 128:1 dilution (1 oz per gallon) for heavy duty...

    Megs 3" backing plate failure

    Thanks Meghan! Two things, guys: first, thanks for all the kind words about our level of customer care, we really appreciate it. Second, and really most importantly, it should be noted that even though we do stand behind our products 100%, your first line of defense when something does go...

    The Holy Grail of Compound - M101

    As has been stated numerous times, this product was specifically developed for Euro aftermarket paint, and that won't be found in the US unless someone imports a used vehicle that had some body work done in Europe. That said, and as others have noted, the product can work wonders on both...

    The Holy Grail of Compound - M101

    It's not the "painters", it's the "paint" itself. It's a high solids versus low solids situation and the fact that, while wool pads are very commonly used for sanding mark removal in the States, foam is the primary pad used for the same purpose in European body shops. They rarely use wool at...
