    Meguiars D300 on thier cut scale?

    Does anyone know what number this is in thier abrasive scale. I feel like it's in the middle? Thinking of using it as a first step since its SMAT and I could stick to 4 passes to save time.

    I would be using it on a polishing pad instead of menzerna 2500. How do you think the cut would compare on the same type of pad?

    On every Meguiar’s 1-10 cut scale
    that I have ever seen, it’s placed in
    the aggressiveness range of “9”.

    {If you are willing to do-the-math,
    you should easily find its corresponding
    number on Meguiar’s 1-12 cut scale.}

    Thanks bob, I kinda figured it was stronger then a medium polish. i dont know if using it is overkill for my project? I wanted to use my griots correcting creme but It's old and I just found out it turned too watery. I couldn't bring it back by shaking.

    I just wanted something medium that I could make 4 passes with.

    D300 is very versatile,yes it can cut good but also works good as a medium polish pending pad and method. On lighter colors it's a killer 1-step

    I thought that too if it's on a polishing pad the cut shouldn't be to heavy. Would u say its comparable to menzerna 2500 used that way?

    Re: Meguiars D300 on thier cut scale?

    I used it on a finishing pad for 4 passes then finished with 3800 on a finishing pad. I only did the 2 doors. I got that new scangrip multimatch 8. Its very hard to see any difference between finishing polishes but obviously I can see the difference between the d300 and different finish polishes.

    The quest for a perfect finish is tiring. God blessed the guys who can do this for a living.

    Boy, you aren't kidding. The pro's are amazing.

    I tried maybe 15(?) different product/pad combos to come up with what works on the Ram.

    I would hate like hell to have to do that all over again. :/
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Wasn't there a video on obsessed garage about leaving D-300 on the paint after working in without wiping and go to the next step making the system a time killer.

    There sure was. I was surprised I’d never read that anywhere or seen anyone talk about it before the meguiars two mentioned it in that video. Seems like a huge selling point, imo. Optimum pushes their paint correction system the same way.

    I am still searching for the perfect combination. You have to enjoy the journey Paulie.
