fine cut, med cut, heavy cut, #84, #85

[74 thing]

Can you rank these from most agressive to least agressive: fine cut, med cut, heavy cut, #84, #85? I understand that all of these need to be applied by a rotary and either a red pad or wool pad but can someone explain to me how #84 and #85 differ from the rest? Thanks for the help.

The #1, #2 & #4 are paint cleaners from our traditional Mirror Glaze line. While they have been around a long time, the formulas have been updated over the years, however they are still very different from our 80's series products.

For example, shake up your bottle of #4 and feel it between your fingers, then shake up a bottle of either #84 or #85 and feel it between your fingers... Most people upon feeling the diminishing abrasives used in the traditional Mirror Glaze Line would wrongly assume them to be more aggressive than the products in the 80's series because they can physically feel the abrasives, but this isn't true, the M84 and M85 are actually more aggressive yet they feel like skin lotionk (for the most part). Big differences in formulas because they use completely different technology.

The formulas used to create the 80's series comes from our work with paint manufactures and car manufactures when paint technologies changed.

Both lines of products will do the job when correctly applied, they just do it differently.

What are you working on with a rotary buffer and where's that picture of your Thing?

Mirror Glaze #4

Does this mean you would use Mirror Glaze #4 on older vehicles?

We use #4 to clean windows, but we were wondering if you can use the same as #83?

You can use #4 on older or newer vehicles, you just have to apply it using a rotary buffer.

You cannot use it the same as #83 because they are very different products,

#4 Rotary Buffer only (on paint)
#83 Rotary Buffer/Dual Action Polisher/Hand

The versatility of #83 and the limitations of #4 are an indicator to you. Next time you have both products out, shake the bottles well and then feel each one between your fingers, see the difference for yourself.

hey mike,


Which pad do you recommend using with #4? getting out a huge bo-bo. Also what use to bring the shine back up after?

Either a wool pad or a foam cutting pad with a rotary buffer.
