M80 safe to use as an everyday polish?

[humblepie]

I'm about to order a m80 32oz bottle to remove some light swirls in my 2008 infiniti m35. I'll probably need to use the m80 for most of the car as the swirls are everywhere. I'm thinking I might not use the entire bottle and was curious if I could keeping using the remaining m80 as a polish as part of a routine regiment whenever I wax my car. Or is this probably not recommended as it will unnecessarily wear away the clear coat finish?

I'll be using the g110 to apply.

Thanks.

Welcome to Meguiars Online!!
I am not a expert but I would say that it would wear away the clear coat, after an extended use. But it also depends on how much you wax.

After the first time you go over the car and remove the majority of the swirls try to improve your washing, drying and maintenance procedures so that you don't need to polish as often.

Try to isolate where any swirls are coming from and practice preventative maintenance.

After the first swirl removal process maybe you can switch to M09 for maintenance and then apply your LSP

Thanks for your reply mike.

My other question would be: will a 32oz bottle be too much for a one time use or should I get a 12oz sampler bottle from ADS?

I think 12 should be okay but it does not hurt to have more and to have some extra for other times or other vehicles.

You will probably use 4-5oz. per time polishing your car. That depends on the size of your car, how much you use, how many times you knock over the bottle and spill it all over the garage, etc.

You won't use an entire 32oz bottle in one job but you can get the 32oz bottle for future jobs

Just because I'm nosy, have you given any thought to buying the new M205 instead of M80? M205 has the new Super Micro-Abrasive Technology which will remove light swirls and leaves a fantastic finish.

If you haven't already ordered the M80 then go for the M205, it does finish out nicer on most paint systems.

Thanks all for your input.

Since this will hopefully be just a one time deal, I'll opt for the m205 12oz bottle. It's a bit more pricey compared to the m80, but at least I can get the 12oz version from ADS
