Re: I like M20 Polymer Sealant very much.

Strange as I read this I am waiting for #20 to set up. I really like it too. I am using it as an first step because it will clean off the little product that is on there and give me a good base for 21 or 16 on black.

Every time I spend money on boutique stuff or the "latest and greatest" flavor of the month.... I always go back to Megs prof. line and #20 is a keeper !!

I just used it today on a white pearl Lexus RX-350.

Good reliable product I can always depend on.

How long did you let M20 dry? I've never seen a streak with M20 - apply it thin and let it dry completely dry, which it should do pretty quickly. When in doubt, give it a bit more time as humidity can slow the drying process. I've personally let this dry as long as two hours and it still wipes off with ease. Mind you, we aren't saying that you need to let it dry that long, just that if you do it's not going to be a problem. Removing any of our waxes before they dry can lead to potential issues, with the single exception of Ultimate Wax liquid, which can be removed after applying to just a single panel. But UW liquid is the exception to our rule.

wow, I have a bottle of UWL....so I can just apply via DA and wipe off in minutes? How did I missed that?

Covered entire car with M20 before removing, so I guess drying time was 45 minutes to an hour? However the sun was out, the car and ambient temperature was heating up which always leads to problems. Next time I'll make sure to do it in the evening. Streaks were no problem to buff out with Last Touch and some elbow grease.

I decided to go with M20 for the summer wax since I've yet to use it. Since my 6" G110v2 is in the shop I use Groits 3" DA. I did notice a bit of streaking much like ULW. How do I combat the streaking?

Other than the streaks it looks amazing! Really made the black metallic paint pop. If I can control the streaking it may I may have found the wax I will use for good.

Wii this remove my Optimum poll seal and opti seal ? I want to remove it and try #20 on GM black , was thinking of following it up with #16 fro extra durability and detergent resistance.

I have ben getting decent results with Optimum , but no durability.

I like the Megs depth better on black so want to remove OPT.

What's the durability on this for, say, an every day driver?

It is difficult to say because of all of the variables involved so I will put it in terms relative to other products, on a perfectly prepared surface I would give the slight edge in longevity to the much more popular M21, but not by much. Also important to call out the very mild cleaners in M20 seem to help prep the surface in less than ideal conditions which could help sway durability in its favor.

So many great uses for M20, use it after polishing simply as a LSP, or treat it like an AIO to help clean up the paint surface. Here is an image of one of my pads after completing a detail on my daily driver about six months ago. The pad on the left is new and the pad on the right had been used on about 1/3 of the car, you can see how much the chemical cleaner helps (keep in mind M20 is a slightly off white creme color so they gray you see is not product):

Re: I like M20 Polymer Sealant very much.

I have a bottle of it and have been a bit hesitant to use. Mainly because I don't know how to apply it? Is it DA safe? Is it more like a synthetic wax?

It can be used with either dual action or rotary polishers. It's a mild cleaner/ wax.

M20 Polymer Sealant is a hybrid wax - synthetic and natural ingredients.

[Murr1525]

Re: I like M20 Polymer Sealant very much.

Yes, it is DA safe. It is a carnuba/polymer blend.

Basically it is a very mild cleaner/wax, so best for quick touch ups, and that sort of thing.

Re: I like M20 Polymer Sealant very much.

I will agree. #20 is wonderful on silver. I keep thinking of trying something from the optimum line, finish kare, etc. When it comes down to it, I keep coming back to #20. SO easy to use, wonderful look, pretty good protection. Throw it on and top it a day later with some UQW. AWESOME look. Maybe a bit old school, but so nice.

Re: I like M20 Polymer Sealant very much.

All of my waxes I've used. None produce a glass like shine on my silver color car. I must say I'm pretty impressed with M20. Once of these days I would like to try it on a black color car. You know I've even applied M20 under the hot 1pm Sun and it still produce wonderful performance n result. Easiest to use product I've ever come across. Thanks Meguiar's for M20.

Re: I like M20 Polymer Sealant very much.

M20 seems to get overshadowed by M21 which is another great product in the Mirror Glaze lineup, but I prefer the older M20. The balance of synthetic and natural waxes in M20 ensure it looks great on any color, and the mild cleaners really do a nice job of brightening the paintwork. Easy to apply and remove, looks great, and very durable protection - M20 is a product that does not disappoint.
