Understanding the Professional Line

Yeah, I've heard that too and seen it on the forum, but the Meg's catalog said otherwise....I'll wait to hear from the authorities (Mike, Joe, 2hotford, etc.) and make the change if they say so.

As a personal comment, after consolidating all this information and sorting by number, the numbering rationale makes no more sense to me now than before. I see some clumps of related products, but it still seems somewhat of a hodgepodge to me. Does anyone know the full history/explanation?

I thought that the new #2 Fine-Cut cleaner could now be applied by hand, DA, or rotary??

And here is a link that will help you with speed settings for the moment:

Rotary Speed Settings

[Murr1525]

I am not sure if it is the same name, but the "Cut-Meter" is scale that you see on the left side of the bottles that shows the aggressiveness of the produt.

Like a 3 out of 10, 4 out of 10, etc. It is a little subjective, more of a relative scale.

I think this would be a good candidate for a sticky!!

Excellent chart!


Can I ask...
What is the "Cut Meter"?

Also, would it be possible to include the approx. RPM speed for a DA or rotary polisher for each product that is applicable to?

Looks great and very useful

Thx.

For those of you hearing all the slang and Meguiar's numbers floating around, I hope this will help.

I wanted to post this in the Professional Line forum or the pro detailer's forum, but HTML is OFF in both of them.
