Meguiar's Mirror Glaze 9 SWIRL REMOVER 2.0!! Get It Local, Get It Cheap? Is It Effective?

[@apexdetail85]

What is your favorite Meguiar's product. Has Megs dropped the ball and fallen behind?

[@bizmofunyuns6463]

I think they are falling behind fast.

[@kevincampbell8298]

They have a lot more competition now.

[@kimnewling5728]

I've pretty much given up on Meguiars. I shouldn't do that, but I'm having fun with other stuff. I don't have enough experience to make a call on a product line. Thanks for the review, Brian.

@@bizmofunyuns6463no way we 210 and 110 are incredible we just want to buy other countries products because they seem exciting. All other countries want to buy Megs

Who remembers #7 Show Car Glaze? Man it was like magic in a bottle! Yes it had fillers in it but you couldn’t deny how good it made the paint look

[@markharootunian775]

I remember!!

[@nicholasthomas3635]

I used that stuff on a single stage 44 year old lacquer Hugger Orange '69 SS Camaro. Its so shiny now. It is a rough around the edges survivor that was parked in barn *concrete floor* back in '79. So many spot stains I used a 3M 3" orange pad w/a Flex rotary to clean off the decades of dust. I put several passes w/ KLASSE AIO followed by KLASSE Glaze one per day-3 days.

[@nicholasthomas3635]

Opps, forgot the #7 went on 2x's a day w/the 2nd coat left for 12 hr minimum. 8 layers. Then the KLASSE.

[@millerdetailing4176]

Looks like a decent product overall ,always appreciate each and every review Brian.

[@audieconrad8995]

With all due respect - decent?!... it's a classic.

[@richsmith3120]

I remember using Megs product in 2000 it was the going product you could get locally!

[@patrick530702]

Thanks for reviewing this Brian. I ALWAYS wonder about this stuff every time I walk into my local Autozone.

[@J1Z06]

Now You know it's worthy as it was tested by one of the best in the world!

[@audieconrad8995]

Excellent review Brian thank you. It's good to see some classic old-school products that still hold relevance and results. With all due respect, you guys get the lines on all of the latest and greatest. It's still a virtue to pop down to the local brick & mortar on a Saturday a.m. for the driveway detailer to get 90% of the results that the pro's obtain in perfect conditions. Good on you for displaying this classic and its virtues. Shine on you crazy diamond!

[@apexdetail85]

Shine on!!

[@waynewoodrick5055]

Thanks Brian! they have this at my Ollies

[@J1Z06]

That really turned out well with a mild pad and one pass up/down. Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. Happy 4th of July!

[@apexdetail85]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mikeyp2447]

Good to know we can pick something up locally that works.

[@richardseem7948]

Totally agree with ur assessment and score.a very good product

[@riccochet704]

I mean, for the price it's not a bad product. Definitely something to consider for high volume shops or dealer prep shops. Not looking for perfection, but a solid result quickly and economically. I'll say that, for professionals, there are Ardex products that match the price and office similar or better results. Point is, you don't have to spend a lot to get good results with a quick turnaround. Good enough for volume output.

[@andrewgavi]

Used this in a pinch. 3D one was giving me trouble. Went down to O-Reilly's, grabbed a bottle for $17.99 and was off. Was working on new Flat Black C8 Corvette, just looking at it wrong would haze/scratch the paint. This product on a Lake Country Black Pad, two passes, worked wonders. 3D One did the job, but the need for multiple towel wipes to remove the oil induced micro marring from the towels (Rag 300's).

[@stevekuebler5101]

Favorite Meg is the ceramic detailer; no streaks, slick finish, and seems to last.

[@marybetheby5184]

That's good shit right there...👍

[@richardvacanti9428]

Hi Brian I really like your shop manager . I also have a shop manager he makes sure I don’t spend to much time on the car’s and he also likes to bark out orders. He’s is a Australian cattle dog. His name is Toby.

[@apexdetail85]

They are great!! Give Toby a big hug for us!

[@guychou9505]

Superbe produit

[@millerdetailing4176]

Ready

[@MNpicker]

Not bad... now I know... Thanks Brian 👍🏻

[@Greg_P611]

Does glaze indicate that it’s leaving some fillers behind?

[@jeremiahgaskins9127]

Megs D300 is a good all around compound.

[@richardseem7948]

Another awesome video and product review good friend

[@apexdetail85]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@neilwalker5041]

Still a good product which will get rid of light scratches quickly. This is great for the times the wife side swipes someone else’s car and you need a quick fix.

[@Freddy_Confetti]

Would you recommend polishing after this or is this a one step process

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

For a one step and done 166, for polishing 205, compounding M110. Car wash soap I like hyper wash, a little goes a long way, I still use 156 a lot, still a legit spray wax for the price. Overall I like their products, good prices, available everywhere.

[@norcalspitshine6406]

A option thanks for the video

[@bigd9848]

Excellent video and great information 👊🏼Enjoy your 4th ✊

[@apexdetail85]

Thanks 👍

[@tz1708]

another great review, thank you. Un related to this video, thanks to you, I use the 5 wash mitt process like you do and keep meaning to ask where you got the clear large wash bucket with the gallon measurements on it. And thanks again for all you do for us detailing enthusiast.

[@apexdetail85]

My pleasure!

[@gregwayne6785]

What is the difference between a polish, swirl remover, and glaze? Also, would this be good for removing fading ceramic in preparation for a new coat?

[@apexdetail85]

You should have no problem removing an aged coating. Pretty much similar besides the glaze having some filling capabilities.

[@richardvacanti9428]

Hi Brian. I’m a novice and just started out. May I ask why do you keep the DA slower instead of turning it up to a 5 or 6 on the DA . Thank you. Great Video

[@kimnewling5728]

Too much heat

[@richardvacanti9428]

@@kimnewling5728a da dose not make enough heat to do anything even at high speeds

[@kimnewling5728]

@richardvacanti9428 a d.a. will produce heat. Especially if you hover in one spot to long. I use the 15-20 degree rule. If the air temp is 75, the no more then 15-20 degrees paint temperature. I polish at 3 to 3.5 on the speed. 3 or less for 2nd step if needed to clear up any haze. Hope that helps.

[@apexdetail85]

It keeps heat down...which in turn cuts better.

[@Enthusiast_detailing]

Have you ever tried m83 I found it locally super cheap so I picked some up. I’m learning to polish and I finished up a super old bottle of ultimate compound. Just looking for enhancements/one steps.

[@kimnewling5728]

Can you use BC 3 as a drying aid effectively?

[@apexdetail85]

Mist into your drying towel.👍🏻👍🏻

[@juansalinas6446]

Looks like a product for minor imperfections on paint. I have a question unrelated to this. I purchased BC1 and have half a bottle left over. How long is the unused coating good for?

[@nicorallysport]

Good job 👍 good product!, it would have been interesting to put it face to face with the consumer version meguiar's swirl X (or swirl remover according to label)?! Which is also a thick formula, surely derived from M9. I got good results with foam pad one step and cutting pad to remove swirls on paint in fairly good condition!.

[@dtna]

OG Meguiar's. I still have a bottle of that stuff. I was about ready to toss it, but I may try a different pad like you did, because I still couldn't get the fine scratches out with a D/A. Fifteen years ago, I used to use that with Megs 205, then One Grand Blitz Wax applied with cheese cloth. Lol! I don't think 3M has done much since they bought Meguiar's. BTW, if you had any choice of any brands of compound and polishes, what would you go with? Koch Chemie, Menzerna, Sonax?? I'm a DIYer, and those polishing chemicals last for years. Thnx.

[@jdisdetermined]

3D, no contest. ACA 500 for heavy cutting, 520 for finishing, and One for everything else. One and an assortment of pads is really all a diy person needs. It’s that good at everything paired with good pads.

[@apexdetail85]

The 3D line is a favorite for correction.

[@garybucklin7413]

Hand apply. Would it get the job done?

[@apexdetail85]

Would take a bit longer...but yes.

[@GeneG-wk2mz]

It’s at Ollie’s 9.99 m82

[@paulmouradjian6045]

Rather confused that the paint prep didn't take out any oils ....since by definition in Meg's Language a glaze has those fillers which is the differentiation from its polishes. ??? Interesting.

[@apexdetail85]

Despite what they call it....not much filling capabilities to speak of.

[@Chris-wb7ni]

Not a huge megs fan. I think they were good but have fallen behind.

[@5hift6ear]

For something you can get at harbor freight its not that bad.

[@Chris-wb7ni]

I agree with that. I just think there’s a lot better stuff on the market. But in a pinch

[@Stopvotingdemocrat]

what can i use to get rid of ghost lettering from removing car emblems?

[@on-site4094]

Doesn’t it stain plastic trim ?

[@apexdetail85]

No staining to speak of.

[@paulmouradjian6045]

Don't use Meg's any longer. Merely a marketing name from 3M......back in the day 25+ years ago....the dusting had to be accepted until Dr.G and Optimum came along. Never looked at Meg's again. Once they were sold I only use their Coating..... Tremendous product. Then You Brian came out with y😅 your BC1 ...... 😊🎉❤

[@danmorrissette4814]

Glaze !!!! Means Fillers ? no?!!
