Along with the microfiber pads, Meguiar&#8217;s had their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/DA-Microfiber-Correction-Compound-P513\/16-oz-S1\/\">D300 Cutting Compound<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/DA-Microfiber-Finishing-Wax-P514\/16-oz-S1\/\">D301 Finishing Wa<\/a>x that worked together as a 2-step system, but I have always felt that something was missing. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/DA-Microfiber-Polish-P882\/16-oz-S1\/\">Meguiar&#8217;s D302 DA Microfiber Polish<\/a> is, in my opinion, this missing link!\u00a0 This polish was created to work with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/DA-Microfiber-Finishing-Disc-Buffing-Pad-P516\/55-S1\/\">Microfiber Finishing pads<\/a>, but allows you to choose another means of protection since D302 is strictly a polish, unlike D301 which is an all-in-one polish and wax.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2861\/13257612675_f16627888d_b.jpg\" alt=\"ATD | D302 Review\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I tested Meguiar&#8217;s D302 on a recent vehicle I was working on. \u00a0I used it with the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Rupes-M62\/Yellow-Microfiber-Finishing-Pad-P904\/5-2-pack-S2\/\">Rupes Microfiber Finishing Pads<\/a>\u00a0on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Rupes-M62\/Big-Foot-Random-Orbital-Polisher-P759\/LHR-21ES-21MM-S1\/\">Rupes Bigfoot LHR21ES<\/a>\u00a0as seen in the image above. \u00a0I primed the pad and then added 2 small dots of working product as seen in the following image. \u00a0The product proved to have an extremely long working time and produced no dusting when used with a clean pad. \u00a0I found the product to wipe away very easily after I was finished polishing which is very important, as you do not want to use excessive force to remove a product as you may accidentally scratch or mar the surface.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3686\/13257759973_d43a09bfe8_b.jpg\" alt=\"ATD | D302 Review\" \/><\/p>\n<p>D302 produced nice results, as seen in the following image. \u00a0I was able to eliminate swirls and other light defects with ease. \u00a0The product finished down very well on the vehicle I was working on, so no additional polishing was required to produce an LSP ready finish. \u00a0In this particular case, I used this product as a &#8220;one-step&#8221; correction polish, meaning I did not use a cutting compound prior to the D302, nor did I need to follow up with a fine polish afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3780\/13257967054_56c6b4aaf4_b.jpg\" alt=\"ATD | D302 Review\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Overall I was very pleased with how the D302 performed. \u00a0It proved to be a good polish that had enough cutting abilities to remove swirls and light scratches, while still finishing down perfectly (and it smelled great, too!). This was\u00a0a much needed\u00a0addition to the Meguiar&#8217;s Microfiber DA System.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zach McGovern of Attention To Detailing gives his product review of the Meguiar&#8217;s D302!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":14134,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[63,32,33,18,27],"tags":[1207,323,1218,137,1219,1220,222,1113,414,1112],"class_list":{"0":"post-13733","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-general-detailing","8":"category-imperfection-removal","9":"category-polishes","10":"category-product-reviews","11":"category-professional-work","12":"tag-attention-to-detail","13":"tag-correction","14":"tag-d302","15":"tag-meguiars","16":"tag-meguiars-d302","17":"tag-mf","18":"tag-microfiber","19":"tag-peoria","20":"tag-polish","21":"tag-zach-mcgovern"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/13257612675_f16627888d_b.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1kPO7-3zv","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13733"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13733\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14137,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13733\/revisions\/14137"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
