And Kevin is a master of pushing any product to the limit!! Not only do D151 and D301 differ as per Kevin's comments, but look at the difference in clarity and gloss (I'd give the nod easily to D301 here) and the insanely easy wipe off D301 offers. About the only thing they really share is the...

Maybe I can shed a bit of light on this for you. Yes, we developed M86 not only as a rotary only product, but specifically with the whole So1o system in mind - liquid, two wool pads, two foam pads - so that you can go from heavy cut to finishing with a single liquid. It was really geared...

I'm one of the guys Mike Phillips emailed earlier - I'm at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas at the moment but didn't want to let this go any further without at least acknowledging it. Muscle, first off we truly are sorry to see this and we apologize for the frustration and aggravation...

As a Meguiar's employee who got fairly well involved with Jason Rose while this system was being developed, perhaps I can assist a bit here with the "D301 perception" issue being discussed here. What a lot of people tend to lose sight of is what this system was developed for: primarily it is a...

Thanks guys, much appreciated. As for how old I am..... just one day older than I was yesterday, let's leave it at that!

Yes, we were selling Porter Cable 7424XP tools at Barrett-Jackson over the weekend, but no, they did not have Meguiar's stickers on them. We also are not rebranding the 7424XP as a Meguiar's tool now nor do we have plans to in the future. Those tools were there merely as a stop gap effort...

What Mike says here, and the reasons behind the comments, is spot on (but nobody is surprised about that!). The good part about the Less than Good News part is that you don't need to clean the Finishing Discs on the fly anywhere near as often as you do the Cutting Discs. While the Cutting...

This is in response to a PM I received from Merlin, but his message box is full and so it won't let me respond!! He was asking about use of a brush vs compressed air and the number of pads needed, but this is good information for everyone else to know, so here is my response: I guess there...

Laura, we've never met, but if you're spending time with Mike then that makes you just fine in my book!!! Here's hoping you had a great day, and that the coming year will be fantastic!!! :birthday:

My intent was not to come across as making a sales pitch, but rather to just clarify some misconceptions about the product and answer some direct questions. The 20+ test users who've had their hands on this for several months or more are currently the only people outside Meguiar's who know much...

While I personally have no first hand experience using this system with the Flex 3401, all the feedback we have from test users is that it does cut faster but doesn't leave as nice a finish (ie, it tends to haze more in the compounding phase). Now, since this hazing tends to be pretty easy to...

While it is very specific in design, we also knew when we placed it in the hands of guys like Nick Chapman, David Fermani and Todd Helme that experimentation would run rampant! If you know these guys at all you know they can't stay inside any box for very long! They've gotten excellent results...

Just going back through the thread and looking to answer some other questions. You bring up some very valid points. If you're just taking care of your own car and once a year it just needs some light touching up, then yes, this system may well be overkill. If you have very delicate paint and...

I don't recall if the specific combinations you mention have been tested, but guys have used M105 and M86 with the cutting disc, and I have personally used D301 with a foam finishing pad on ridiculously sensitive paint, all with excellent results. We love seeing people experiment - that's one...

And the reality is, that's the best any of us can hope for in this game. There are just too many variables for any one system to be the "be all and end all" for anyone. People do get a bit passionate about all this, don't they? And yet, using such a wide variety of tools, liquids, pads, etc...

One other thing I would like to point out, and this one is of a bit more personal nature. Even though it seems many of Flash Gordon's earlier posts have been culled to some extent, there is one that I grabbed a couple of days ago that needs addressing: Flash has a very poor memory, then...

What the heck, how about we get back to actually addressing the original points of this thread? All of this is dead spot on if the ONLY thing you care about is the initial cost of purchasing an equal number of pads. But the story is far from over with initial purchase. How many of you have...

Without a doubt - I can't tell you how many times I've heard "BMWs have really hard paint, what did you use to correct this one??". While I've seen BMWs with incredibly hard paint, I've also seen some with paint that was super easy to correct. With BMW building vehicles in different facilities...

Boy, if ever there was an example of "not all paints are the same", this is it. We have a regular attendee at Meguiar's Thursday Night Open Garage sessions who bought a new Camaro when they first hit the streets. His is Victory Red, and gorgeous non metallic shade of red, and we've found the...

If you find your quick detail spray is becoming a bit more difficult to wipe off that's often an indicator that your wax is wearing down and should be reapplied.
