Meguiar's #3 vs. #80 question

[billium]

What is the difference between Mequire's Professional line "Machine Glaze" (#3) and Consumer line "Machine Speed Glaze" (#80)?



I'll be applying with PC, and wondered if either of these products outweighs the other in removing slight scratches and imperfections prior to the application of P21S Paintwork Cleaner.



Thanks

billium- Totally different products, despite the similar names. Both are good, though.



The #3 is what Meg's calls a "pure polish"- no abrasives in it at all.



The #80 contains abrasives (ones that break down quickly and easily). So it's the one to use before your P21S GEPC, which you might not even need after you finish with the #80.

Also, #80 is a professional product (mirror glaze) ... not in the consumer line.

Accumulator is exactly right. #80 breaks down so well and has so many polising oils of its own, you can go straight to wax if you want after using it.



#3 is a better choice then #7, IMO even though they give pretty much the same end results. #3 is much easier to work with.

Yeah, much as I like good ol' #7, #3 is easier for me, too. And yeah, it works fine by hand. About the only Meg's pure polish easier than #3 is #5 which is sorta a different animal (dries more thoroughly, can dust a little, but great in humid conditions).

Is there a big difference between the meguiars pro line and the consumer line polishes? I'm talking about the red versus the yellow bottles.



thanks..
