    Megs Prof Series Polish/Compounds

    What are the best offerings in this line? I think its the #80's

    Toto seems to use these polishes a lot, can anyone highlight some offerings?

    I haven't used any of their polishes, but I'm looking at #83 to give a whirl.

    #83 DACP was my ole time favorite. Products like XMT, Einszett, and Menzerna put it to the back shelve however.

    Toto suggested 83,84,85. Any other good ones?

    XMT is better than 83? Menzerna is too exp to use all the time.
    How does OPT compare to Menzerna and Megs?

    If you are planning to go inexpensive line - go with Optimum. Works well in a sun, and no dust. Menzerna is a little pricey, but you don't really need the whole line, just SIP and PO106FF; and use them on YOUR vehicles. Menzerna polishes are a must on super hard clear coats (yes, your BMW), but work well on all. Softer clear coats - you can get away with Optimum.

    P.S. I'd take Optimum any day over Meguiar's. Same price, but much better performance/bang for the buck.

    The 80's series is awesome. It is cheap and if used properly doesnt dust much and gives amazing results. 85, 83, and 80 are my go to products and havent found anything better.

    let me tell you something...meguiar's 80's were good in the 80's... j/k
    on 21 century cars you might wanna look at 21st century polishes, like XMT series, and Menzerna...

    How recently have you used the 80's series? I know I accidentally got a few bottles of stuff that was a few years old and it sucked compared to the fresh 83 and 80 I had. I am just curious, why do you feel they arent a good polish on new cars?
