Meguiars mirror glaze professional vs. higher end products
Just something that hit me the other day as I was polishing a car with (meguiars 205) and I got to thinking. How does meguiars professional line stack up to the competition?
I've used or use griots,chemical guys,poor boys,collinite and others those are some of my main ones.
So shoot me some feedback I wanna see if I am making the right choices or just throwing money out the window.

Do you consider the above products to be more "higher-end" than Meguiar's Mirror Glaze "Pro"-products?

I used Meg's #26 (I think) once. It was a yellow liquid wax and it was pretty crappy IMO. I like most of Meg's products, but it was just an absolute train wreck to use. Could have been a bad batch of it, but who knows?

You hear those names really often through out the other forums but seems like meguiars stays under the radar

Re: Meguiars mirror glaze professional vs. higher end products
I'm guessing you mean more expensive when you say higher end? The pro line in Meguiars (especially the 105/205 duo) is always my first reach as it is effective across such a wide range of paints. There are always unique situations that call for unique products, but little else out there can match the universal effectiveness of the Megs Professional line, especially for the price.

I'm always amused at threads that contains the words "high end" which means what exactly?
I'm assuming you mean cost? I think we all know that cost doesn't necessarily relate to something being high end. Getting what you pay for may be true for most things but not for detailing products. In this business it's about what the market will bare, not the quality of the result. Technique trumps cost every time.
Meg's products are not only great products but they are well within everybody's budget. Few car care companies can share that honor.
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

I have been a Megs user for years and have always achieved great results.

Re: Meguiars mirror glaze professional vs. higher end products
Think this way...Meguiar's has been around for 100 years. How many of the 'high end' products will be able to say the same thing in 2113?
When in doubt, I've generally found a Meg's product that will fill the bill.
Yes, I am defending Meguiar's.

I've used yellow for years, I'm guessing a bad batch or maybe too thick of an application? Stuff gives a tremendous glow on black. Durability is questionable.

IMHO, when it come to polishing and compounding, Meg's defines the high-end products.
Who brought us SMAT?
Who brought us Microfiber pads that revolutionized the DA polishing arena?
I define high-end based on performance, not cost.
