    meguiars #84

    ordered some of the #84 online for good price as i cant afford to get the 105 yet! was wondering if the #84 (compound power cleaner) was any good? i also ordered set of 3 hex logic foam pads aswell. would this be an all round good combo?

      Hmm... never used M84 myself, although I did (still do) like M80 and M83 a lot.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

          M84 was designed for rotary use so you should be good to go. It's a fairly "coarse" diminishing abrasive, however, do you want to buff with it long enough to break down those abrasives - a very short buffing cycle can leave an almost scoured looking surface due to the nature of the abrasives. M84 was developed back in the days of single stage lacquer paints and, although perfectly safe to use on a modern clear coat, it's not going to leave as nice a finish as M105 will. All that really means is that you almost certainly will have to follow up with a finishing polish of some sort whereas M105 often leaves a nice enough finish that any "clean up" is super fast and easy.

            Well, #84 is meant for rotary use, so that is good. After that, just a matter of what paint you are working on, if it is the right choice, etc.

              i was looking into what to use As a follow up from #84 but not too sure what to buy! i have ultimate polish there would that be ok as a follow up? or what would you suggest? i am working on a 98 5 door honda civic like a royal blue colour.

                Ultimate Polish is not really specified for rotary use, and it's very mild so it may not fully clean up any marks created by the M84. We would recommend using either M80 or M82 as a follow up instead. M205 would be best but it's quite a bit more expensive than either of those.
