Is anyone still using Meguiars D300?

RZJZA80- I`d be surprised if it`s gone bad after just a few years; *all* of my [abrasive products] are a lot older than that and they all work same as when new.

Also..just FWIW, I`ve never had *ANY* aggressive abrasive finish out OK. I don`t even like how M205 finishes though, so maybe I`m, uhm...different :o
 
When D300 first came out it finished down very well on most paints, but noticed it leaves some hazing behind on new cars nowadays. M205 I`ve noticed the same thing. Both of those I`ve had gallons of it for a few years now though since I use GG BOSS polishes the majority of the time now.
 
You know now that I think about it, I used a GG6 most of the time when D300 came out, and GG21/15 the past few years, so that may be the difference, it just works better with a short throw than a long throw polisher.

Ah, I suspect we`re not quite on the same page, that might explain our differing takes on this...

I`m absolutely *NOT* talking about anything as severe as visible "hazing", not even close to literal "micromarring"; things look fine until I do side-by-side comparisons in the right lighting, but when I *do* those comparisons, even my wife can always say "that side looks better/worse".

D300 was always a great performer for me paired with the DMC pads. Unfortunately, the cinnamon fragrance is just one of those scents that I never caught on with. One of the very rare circumstances where the fragrance ended up being a distraction for me, crazy as I usually prefer products that have some sort of fragrance. That`s one of the reasons why I like the Griot`s BOSS lineup of abrasives so much aside from their performance.

My last bottle of D300 stored inside also turned super watery and ended up fully separating in the bottle after a few months of sitting. One of the few times I`ve seen a polish go bad on me, I`m wondering if those style of tops they use provide a good enough seal or not. My stock of Poorboy`s Black Hole also went bad on me when I stored it in some extra bottles with that same self-cleaning style dispenser cap. My D301 and D302 were still in good shape though.

How do the griots polishes compare to the smell of 3D1 waxmode? I love the smell of that stuff. And how does the BOSS correcting cream compare to sonax perfect finish - cut/finish? Thanks

3D One smells great too, I think Griot`s smells even better! Boss Correcting Cream got me a slightly more cut, but not quite as high of a finish, and wipeoff is not as good as Sonax Perfect Finish. Correcting Cream can still get close to Perfect Finish`s gloss numbers out of the glossmeter, but Perfect Finish delivers peak numbers consistently on my test panel.
 
Loach- Ah, thanks for that comparison! As somebody who`s never tried anything from Sonax, and was leaning towards the GG next time, I definitely appreciate your comparison between it and the BOSS CC.
