I got some Megâ€â„¢s #80 last week at an automotive paint shop. I was there getting clay magic and saw the Megâ€â„¢s and wanted to try something new. From what I had read and been told it was a lot like Vanilla Moose, only a little more abrasive.
Well I have been telling my mom that I would detail her car (99 Accord) for a while, and she brought it down this weekend. The car hasnâ€â„¢t been detailed in a couple of years. She washes it half a dozen times or so a year and thatâ€â„¢s all.
Anyway let me get to it. I clayed the whole car. Then I started applying the Megâ€â„¢s #80, with a white polishing pad, via my pc, a section at a time. I worked it in at speed 4 and then turned it up to 5 and worked it till it started to clear, just as it dusted. Then removed it by hand. It was kind of a PITA to get off. I was leaving product and having to go back and rub & look, and rub some more to get it all off. A lot of work considering how long I worked it in, I thought. I did about half the car like this, thinking the whole time the paint was in bad shape and that is why it was hard to remove ( compared to VM, PwC Zaino, EX-P, all the things I have tried lately). Well I started thing, that this would be a good chance to try something else, and compare. So I reached for the VM. I did the second half of the car with VM.
The VM went on and broke down twice as easy! Came off real easy, didnâ€â„¢t have to keep going over spots to find what I missed.
The VM was slicker than the #80. Noticeably slicker.
The #80 did have a little deeper and wetter look to it though. Not a lot but it was noticeable if you stared at it.
I topped the car with EX-P, not a lot of difference in any category after that. It was cloudy when I got done so the pictures donâ€â„¢t tell the whole story. Sorry.

Now I am just learning, and trying new stuff all the time. And I might not even be comparing apples to apples here with #80 and VM. This is just what I noticed. Maybe some of the others will offer up some info.
To me the VM wins 2 to 1. Slickness and easy of use. #80 has the deepest wettest look though.
I will try the #80 again on a dark car, or when I need a little more bit, but for my white Cobra, VM it is. Its just to easy to use, and I like it to be slick!
