Some cool looking products, did they really need to introduce a new clay bar?

it's not a new clay bar, it's the same one found in the smooth surface clay kit. it's just another option so if you don't need the other items (quik detailer, microfiber towel, cleaner wax sample) in the SSCK, you can purchase this for just the clay only (there are three 50gm clay bars)...

I am really interested to see what this ultimate quik wax turns out to be. I assume it is a WOWO product meant to compete with OCW, DGAW, Z8, etc. It does not clearly state WOWO no-haze ability but I assume that is the plan.

you would treat this like a traditonal wax (it's not a WOWO product). apply it, let it haze, and then remove...

thanks I don't plan on it



the point of my post was to help people who did not know any better

& stop them from buying something that is too large to be effective with aDA

at removing defects



and what was the point of your post:sadwavey:
 
I think I will keep using OCW, that new spray wax only promises a few weeks of durability and not as easy to use. I expected more.
 
is 6.5" pads to big for a DA, even if you have the flex to do any correction.. Hope not. A pc I can understand, but was hoping my flex would be ok with it.

the flex should be fine with 6.5" pads



but the BP in question here will not fit the Flex
 
Big Jim speak truth! Anything over 5.5" pad on a PC, UDM or G110 is just a waste of time. And I like those machines and defend them regularly to the rotary is the champ crowd - so don't start!

I used it last week at Meguiar's open class and was instructed to spray it on, wipe it around with a microfiber, turn it over and wipe clean/buff. :nixweiss

that's what CS said as well. initially, i was told it wasn't a WOWO product. this looks interesting and i wonder how it will stack up to OCW, AW, etc...

where did you read about the promise of only a few weeks of durability?

Have you used the new 7" pads? I'm guessing not. How can you state, as a fact, that something doesn't work if you have never used it? I have done a lot of work with 105 on the 7" polishing pad and had great results on a DA. So, I would say that it's not "other people" who don't know any better. I would say that it's you, with no experience using this product, that doesn't know any better. Do you really think that Meg's would release a product made to remove defects that is "too large to remove defects"?



Yes, I would like to see some smaller 2.0 pads. Maybe 4". However, that is not because the 7" pads don't remove defects. I would like smaller pads to get into tighter areas....mostly with my rotary.



Also, I'm not trying to bust your balls. I just don't like when opinion starts getting thrown around the internet as fact. It does more harm than help.
 
NO in fact I have not used the new 7" pads

or the new 7" BP

but how are they different from other pads of the same size?



but since you have

do you have to use the new super coumpond 105 to get them to work?

how would 7" pads on a PC with a regular polish work on a new vette?

sure I could see 7" pads & 105 work on soft Honda paint, but I still

think smaller pads a work better



yes I think they would make a pad size that is less effective at removing defects

to cover there azz(as small pads have more power and can burn the paint)



it's funny your statement: "Also, I'm not trying to bust your balls. I just don't like when opinion starts getting thrown around the internet as fact. It does more harm than help."



I think the same way and I thought that was what I was doing

as I have used 7" pads and found them to be useless on a PC

now if you say they work well then I stand corrected

(but I still will not buy them any time soon)
 
I guess it depends on your idea of "work". Yes they will "work" on hard paint with regular polish. No, they will not cut as much as a smaller pad on a DA. Yes, you can get correction on hard paint with a 7" polishing pad, 105, and a DA. It's not going to be as much as a 5" pad. Which wouldn't be as much as a 3.5" pad. Which wouldn't be as much as a 7" pad on the rotary.



Like I said before, I WOULD like to see some 5" pads from Meg's. But that doesn't mean that a 7" pad "doesn't work" when it comes to doing correction via DA. I HAVE done correction on hard paint with the new 7" pads, 105, and my DA with good results. I noticed zero difference in cut between the old 6.5" and the new 7" pads. The DA did not have enough power for the 7" cutting pad and 105 in my experience.



My only point was that a blanket statement that something "doesn't work" without trying it is silly. Another thing to remember is that all the new products with super micro abrasives work BETTER than the older products. They cut more and leave a cleaner finish. So maybe a 7" pad is a better fit for this newer technology? I guess time will tell.



I do understand that you where only trying to help with your statement...and I commend that. My advice would be to buy one and try it. If you don't like it you send it back to Meg's and get a refund. Then you can come on here and tell me what a moron I am :D without any hard feelings from me.
 
Some of the new Vettes have *super* soft clear on them. :D

Seriously, the new black Vettes are *very* soft--very easy to correct and very easy to scratch.



We did a ZR1 the other day that was *hammered* in one area from a hand being used to close the door--corrected it with PO106FF/flex/white LC pad.
