Question on Meg's mild abrasive

aka PEI Detail
I am in the middle of a job and my SSR1 has still not arrived. I've been using a fairly heavy cut system and need a milder non-silicone polish to follow up. There isn't much available locally, if I can I'll get Farecla G10, which is fantastic, but hard to find.

I can get Meguiar's Cleaner Wax and Steps 1-2-3, but I don't know them. The cleaner seems like a prep wax, and looks like it has silicone or other natural waxes in it by the name, but I can't get more info on their website.

It seems to me that the Step 2 Polish is what I want. Is that right? :cheers:
 
I found the Farecla G10, so I don't need the Meg's.
Does anyone know which of the Step 1-2-3 have silicone and natural waxes (obviously #3)?
 
For a bodyshop safe Meg's light polish, you could try #80. It has a bit of protection for fresh paint too.
Here's an excerpt from MOL, by Mike Phillips, answering basically this question:

"All of the compounds, paint cleaners, cleaner/polishes and pure polishes in Meguiar's Professional Line are body shop safe.

Meguiar's roots and history is in manufacturing products for use by professionals in the automotive industry, so this only makes sense, (that our compounds, paint cleaners, cleaner/polishes and pure polishes are body shop safe). Meguiar's didn't introduce their Consumer line until 1973.

The below products are all body shop safe

Paint Cleaners
* Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner
* Meguiar's Clear Coat Body Scrub
* Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner

Car Washes
* Deep Crystal Car Wash
* Soft Wash Gel
* Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner
* NXT Generation Car Wash
* Rich Suds Car Wash
* M00 Hi Tech Wash
* M62 Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner
* D110 Hyper Wash
* D111 Shampoo Plus


The two products below are not body shop safe but they are safe to use on fresh paint.

* ScratchX
* Deep Crystal Polish"

Hope this helps!
 
Thanx.
I needed to find something locally. The only thing was Meg's step 2 at a local store. I managed to find Farecla G10, which is excellent, though expensive.
 
Meg's step #2 is Glaze PEI , even step #1 is non abrasive . It's a chemical cleaner

3m Imperial 05991 is a great substitute for SSR1 and is silicone free . Im sure you can find it locally .
Also - ssr2.5 has waxes and silicones , but I'm not 100% sure about the other ssr's
SSR contains no wax though is all I know

Thanx for the tips. I'll download the MSDS sheets for the PB products when they come.
As it turned out we did a sealant-wax LSP, so any mild abrasive would have been fine.
