Machine Glaze, Speed Glaze and 83

[Tanat198]

Hi
1 Does Machine glaze produce a deep rich oil look like Speed Glaze? What's the difference between them? (the cleaning power? perhaps?)
2 HOw often can I use #83? Does it make the paint thinner? (Using with Rotary and PC)
Thks for all answers.

M80 Speed Glaze is a Cleaner/Polish, it contains a diminishing abrasive and offers the ability to remove light below surface defects.

M03 Machine Glaze is a Pure Polish and is completely non-abrasive. Any cleaning or swirl removing ability the M03 provides is a combination of itself lubricating the surface while your choice of buffing pad and the material it is made from will actually be the component doing any swirl removal.

Here's some informaton from our FAQ on these two different types of polishes.



Step-3 Polishing



Meguiar's offers two types of polishes, Cleaner Polishes and Pure Polishes. Cleaner Polishes are for removing very light or fine defects while restoring a crystal clear, smooth high gloss surface. Pure polishes are for finishes already in excellent condition and are for the purpose or creating brilliant high gloss with deep dark reflections.

If you look in Webster's Dictionary under the word polish, one of the definitions they include reads like this:

"A preparation that is used to produce gloss, and often color for the protection and decoration of a surface."

This definition best describes Meguiar's Pure Polishes. Meguiar's pure polishes are designed to create brilliant high gloss while preparing the surface for the application of a protective coating. Meguiar's pure polishes accomplish this without the use of abrasives.


Another definition found in Webster's Dictionary for polish is,

"To make smooth and glossy by friction."

This definition best describes Meguiar's Cleaner/Polishes. Meguiar's cleaner polishes are formulated to very gently abrade the surface with Meguiar's Diminishing Abrasive TM and Buffered Abrasive TM technology to remove the finest defects and create a perfectly smooth, high gloss finish.

Depending on what type of paint you're working on, traditional paints like lacquers and enamels, or catalyzed clear coats, Meguiar's has the products specifically designed to work on both types of paints, not to mention many other surfaces such as plastics and polyester resins (Fiberglas Gel-coats).


Meguiar's Trade Secret Polishing Oils
The trade secret oils Meguiar's uses in both types of polishes are unique to the industry and to this day have never been surpassed for creating deep, dark reflections and brilliant high gloss by any of our competitors in over 100 years.

The oils Meguiar's uses are also important in maintaining the original condition of the paint by filling in the naturally occurring microscopic pores and surface imperfections thus preventing detrimental substances and elements as simple as water, or worse, acid-rain, from entering into these pores and microscopic surface imperfections thus causing oxidation and chemical etching. These oils act to replace the original resins as they wear away through natural processes.

When paint is new, it is the most impermeable it will ever be, this means it is a very smooth non-porous, continuous film. With age, exposure to the environment and micro-scratching caused by day-in, day-out wear and tear, your paint develops micro-fissures in the surface along with other defects. These micro-fissures and other defects act to make the continuous film or coating of paint more porous. As this happens, your car's finish becomes more vulnerable to corrosive elements that will attack and degrade your finish.


Remember, waxes, synthetic or otherwise, are meant to be Sacrificial Barriers with the intended purpose sealing the surface, while blocking those things that would attack your paint, from coming into direct contact with the paint.

"Waxes protect your finish by sacrificing themselves so that your paint doesn't have to"

An analogy is your skin. In the same way you can clean, polish and protect your skin, you can clean, polish and protect your car's finish. Soap can be used to clean your skin and remove dirt from the pores. Skin lotions can be used to moisturize your skin, conditioning it and making it more clear and beautiful. Protection products like lotions used to protect hands from exposure to chemicals and UV protectants can be applied to help protect your skin from the things that would attack your skin if these harmful things could come into direct contact with your skin.

While human skin and automotive paint are very different, the analogy is very similar. With Meguiar's, you can:

* Wash your car's finish to remove unwanted and accumulated dirt contaminants
* Clean your paint with our special paint cleaners and cleaner/polishes
* Polish your paint with our pure polishes to create unequaled beauty
* Protect your paint with our advanced paint protection products
* Maintain your car's finish using our fast and easy to use maintenance products.


The unique thing about Meguiar's highly specialized trade secret oils is their ability to restore and maintain the Optical Clarity of both single stage and clear coat paints in a way that waxes alone cannot match, (both natural and synthetic), the results of which are demonstrated in side-by-side comparisons.

2 How often can I use #83? Does it make the paint thinner? (Using with Rotary and PC)
Thks for all answers.

M83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish contains a diminishing abrasive and how much paint you will remove will depend upon your application material, (pad choice), and process, (tool choice), and other factors like how long you buff, how hard you push down, speed setting, etc.

That said, used with a polishing pad like our W-8000 or W-8006 it's pretty non-aggressive compared to a compound.
Again, your results depend upon the above factors. If you use any product with a wool cutting pad on a high speed setting on a rotary buffer it's going to remove lot of paint.

There are a couple of thread on our forum in which how much material is removed is discussed, I'll try to find them or you can do a Search

Thanks..I just used #83 and 81 with imported PC from Autogeek this week and the result was astonishing. But sooner or later, I may have to replace 81 with machine glaze since it's not available locally.
Thanks again.
