Meguiar's Mirror Glaze 83

[shagnat]

Does anyone use Meguiar's 83 dual action cleaner polisher? If so, what were your results?
What would you use besides this product?

That was a good product in it's day, today there are much better choices.

Great finds, Bob!

I always had trouble with M83 back in the day. It was unbelievably difficult to remove, so I switched back to M02.

I'm thinking about trying it again, as I've been enjoying M02 again.

You're crazy.

You're crazy.

Just a little.

Do you have this polish layingaround or are you looking to buy it

It's available locally pretty cheap.

That's something where I should try and source a sample.

That stuff used to dry like cement on me. Worse than M105 ever could.

So you just want to see if you can master it now? I mean I still have a bottle of it, but I can't imagine the situation where I would use it again. All those 80-series polishes that I bought ~12 years ago are getting runny on me, and are the first products that I bought for machine polishing. Let's just say I've bought a lot of polishes since then, and the only possible reason I could see for using it again (other than just trying to get rid of it) is if it was a single-stage vehicle that could benefit from the "trade secret oils". But on the flip side I have plenty of other polishes that I could use just to try to get rid of.

I guess.

More of a curiosity. I was getting out of this, just before d/a usage with M83 was to gain popularity. The product always gave me problems. I wonder if I may have gotten a bad batch. That the first product I ever tried varying the amounts of product, incrementally, to no avail. It's also the first product that warranted a call to customer care.

My bottles of M83, and M82 suffered the same fate as they were left in the garage to freeze after which they were discarded.

Eh, I think your batch was fine, it was a product that could just be difficult to work with, especially once the pad got saturated. I think mine may have gotten frozen, too, when we had one of those hurricanes here and the power was out for a long time.

Probably.

New pad/bonnet/applicator...

No matter what I did, I couldn't make it work.

The good news is we have so many good products today.

Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll use m205 and be done :)
