I bought my bottle of M81 a few years ago when I was buying all sorts sorts of supplies that I didn't need and would probably never use. I bought it after using #7 a couple of times on my black S2K. The stuff was not perhaps the easiest polish to apply. There was a definite learning curve. But more importantly, I honestly could not tell whether it added anything to the finish. I think I saw a difference but simply was not sure. Then for some reason I picked up a bottle of M81, put it on my shelf an then promptly forgot about.
I thought about it was week as I was doing my spring detail. After all the polishing, the plan was to apply a coat of Swissvax "Best of Show." Well, as long as I was going to use a carnauba wax, why not preceded it with some M81.
I still could not tell if the M81 really improved the wetness of the look or not. I like to think it did. But I can say it was much, much easier to use than #7.
One can occasionally find M81 out on the internet. I think Detailing Solutions has one bottle left. If you are intrigued by the pure polish challenge and you can find a rare bottle, you may want to give this product a try. I'll probably keep using it once a year, not because it dramatically improves the look, but simply because I have the stuff and feel like I need to use it. Heck, I still have a bottle of M09 I haven't used it, too. And my bottle of M80 is 95% full. What to do with all these old products?
