    Re: pc and meg #83

    Chessplayer, as you know, the Meguiars' philosophy is to always use the least aggressive product first. M80, therefore, should be your go-to product when using your PC. Do a test spot, and if it does not effect the correction you want, then and only then step up to M83. You may then want to follow-up #83 with #80 to leave a wonderful finish ready for your wax. See these articles:

    Using the G-100 to remove swirls with the Professional Line

    Tips & Techniques for using the G110, G100, G220 and the PC Dual Action Polisher

    Good luck!

      I think you have to practise ALOT assuming you've read the links in Akimel's post above.

      Start practising sessions whenever you have free time.

      Good luck.

          I would also do the test spot with #80 first. Do some reading on the homepage. Read up on the tips for using the G100/110. Follow those instructions and you will achieve the results you desire.

                #83 is great product, you won't regret buying it.

                  Ah yes... you were at this class,

                  Here's the good news... M205 is now shipping, so do a little looking or post a thread to the forum asking for help finding where you can get some M205 and start with this product.

                  It should tackle at least the light swirls and scratches and if it's not aggressive enough it will hold you over until the new Ultimate Compound or ScratchX 2.0 become available in January.

                  You can also start with the M83 as you can find it or order it from any PBE store.

                  Also, about the name for M83, I wrote the below article after reading some posts on Autopia where the members there were confused over the name and posting misinformation about it.

                  The Term "Dual Action" as it relates to M83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish
