#20 or Medallion Premium Paint Protection; what's the diff?

In composition, action, appearance, durability?



I tried the search, but no matter how I configured my terms, I couldn't get relevant results, sorry if it's a repeat question.



But, the products appear similar but not the same, I'd like to experiment with them.



Maybe they could be mixed? That would be fascinating, wouldn't it! How about mixing #20 with #26 liquid! Yikes, what a concept, if possible! A topic for a different thread, though, huh?

I've been looking around for a while now and I have found some info, but nothing definitive.



Both are polymer/resin/wax blends: is this true? Or, are they true sealants, ie all synthetic? Or, is one a true synthetic and the other a blend?



Both contain cleaners: I can believe that.



Some here layer #20 over #7; something about #20 not having enough cleaner to strip the #7, but what will the polymers bond to with #7 between the chemical and the paint?



Some layer MPPP over#7, but state that they believe MPPP strips the #7. I could see that.



I'm going to refer to the typical polymer look, the super reflectiveness, as "cool". I haven't used MPPP, so I can't compare it to #20. #20 is definitely a cooler look than #26. Is MPPP cooler or warmer than #20?



Some say MPPP is very durable, some (including I've heard, the Wax Test) say it is less durable than #26. Meg's claims "the longest protection". Others claim 4 to 6 months for #20. I suppose this doesn't matter a whole lot to me since I neurotically wax my car for kicks every few days, but I'd like to know.



Sheesh. I hope someody knows the answers, or I'm going to have to go out and buy some MPPP, test it, and post a badly written, error strewn review!

If you want an answer to this, I'd PM Mike Phillips since he's the resident Meguiars rep that frequents this site. Ask him on this and to please follow up with a reply to this thread so all can see and make up their own mind as which to use.



As for bonding, a good Dawn wash will remove any oils left from #7, which does have a fair amount of oils used to improve gloss prior to wax and to help wax flow and hide minor swirls. #7 is a great glaze prior to waxing and have very good results with it.

Aw, Mike probably gets so many PMs he can't answer them all, like Santa Claus letters; and, he should get weekends off, too!



I read Mike's stuff with total fascination, but I also read the compendium of experiences. Mike says what a product is supposed to do. Our posted experience is how well it actually meets or exceeds that goal. Yeah, I figure this post will prod him a little (hi Mike!), but I also don't want (or expect) it to do so before Monday-back-to-work. In the mean time, if anyone's tried both, I'd like to read about it; and if no one has, I'll be the huckleberry (eventually)!
