I was wondering what products you used and liked from Meguiar's lineup?
EDIT: I meant to say the professional line in the cream colored bottles.

I haven't used it, but Wheel Brightener looks awesome.

I like Meg's Interior QD, but it's dull...IMO CG Silk Shine is just as good but actually has a nice matte finish.

I guess I should of said their "Professional" line in the cream colored bottles. Sorry about that.

I've used Meguiars for 18 yrs (as you know Bob, I'm currently trying other products, just cause I love new stuff! and possibly increase profit margin!) It's been a consistent quality line.

On to the list!

#3 Machine Glaze
It's very easy to work with, you can work your panels slowly(it stays' "wet" longer than other products) , it doesn't cake up or get pasty(providing your cleaning your pad regularly)

#7 Show Glaze
On darker cars I'd use this product, very deep gloss, this one does cake up from time to time, but it finished product was beautiful.

#9 Swirl Remover
Again, this product is very workable, I've used it as dealer special (fairly good superficial scratch remover and a decent gloss), its slightly more aggressive than the glazes , so I usually followed up with a paste wax.

Hyper Dressing
I like the fact that you can "tone down" the shine by adding water, very glossy at full strength, I don't recommend it for exterior as it's a water based product.


I've used many more , but these were the everyday products.

My two pennies!

Thanks Anthony!
I hope to possibly add some of the line to my list of products in the future.

Yeah it was pretty good it added a good twinkle to my car. Not only that the spray bottle is great for other uses like mixing APC to clean tires, rims, interior, engine, ect, ect. It has a great iniform mist so as to not waste product trying to cover an area.

I really like #40... still haven't tried many of them though.

My vote goes to:

1) #34 - probably the most compatible QD on the market.
2) #7 - Upper echelon gloss and wetness...does have a slight learning curve.
3) #21 - I personally have not tried this but several respected detailers love this stuff.

Bob,
Any decision as to which Meguiar's products, if any, you will be carrying in the near future?

Itdoesn't look like any in the near future the wholeseller I was working with doesn't carry them anymore.

On another note, I have been thinking of the One Grand line. Any One Grand users?

I haven't tried any of the One Grand products. As for the Meguiar's beige bottles, they were my main go-to products for over 10 years, but I've replace them all with different products now. For what it's worth, I've tried #'s 2, 6, 7, 9, 26, 34, 40, 80, 82, and 83.
