The time has finally come!\u00a0 Meguiar\u2019s new polishing system is out in the open and having been one of the lucky few to try and test the product in its early stages, I\u2019d like to post a bit about my experience.\u00a0 Due to a small flood in my basement, I unfortunately lost all my photo\/video documentation, so this article will be a text-only review of my experience with the new DA system from Meguiar\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The system<\/h2>\n

The system consists of two liquids and two pads.\u00a0 It\u2019s as simple as it can get and I believe it\u2019ll be a new go to product for many detailers out there.\u00a0 Personally, I\u2019ve already adapted it into my M105<\/a>, M205<\/a>, 106ff<\/a>, 85rd<\/a> arsenal that I use on almost every detail.\u00a0 The system is very well done and works wonders at not only removing scratches but finishing down well and leaving protection on the paint.\u00a0 After testing it for a couple months, mostly comparing to M105\/M205<\/a>, on a few different paints, here are my thoughts on each of the liquid\/pad combos as well as evaluations of the system as a whole.<\/p>\n

Correcting Compound<\/h2>\n

The Correcting Compound <\/a>with its corrective pad <\/a>is, in short, amazing.\u00a0 There is absolutely no dusting with this compound and splatter is a thing of the past.\u00a0 It has a fairly long work time for such a compound and is very easy to use, compared to something like M105.\u00a0 The pad aids in the use as it\u2019s very small compared to a regular foam pad and the microfiber is very easy to control, both on the Flex DA <\/a>and a PC 7424XP<\/a>.\u00a0 Comparing it again to M105, the Correcting Compound seemed to be a bit less aggressive, but coupled with the cutting microfiber pad it could easily match the correction M105 does with something like a Lake Country Orange pad.\u00a0 However, the fact that it\u2019s so much easier to use, doesn\u2019t dust and is much easier to remove, the new system really takes the cake.\u00a0 I have yet to do side by side testing on all the different pads, but the Correcting Compound so far looks like huge competition to M105 and is definitely a product I will use regularly.<\/p>\n

Finishing Wax<\/h2>\n

The Finishing Wax <\/a>is the perfect name for the second member of this polishing system.\u00a0 It\u2019s exactly that\u2026 a wax that lightly corrects paint and leaves a great looking, protected finish.\u00a0 As with the Correcting Compound, it is simply a pleasure to use.\u00a0 Dust and splatter are non-existent and the lubricity of the product is plentiful.\u00a0 Work time isn\u2019t as long as one would imagine after pouring the product and working with it, but it is very long indeed and does good correction along the way.\u00a0 It easily corrects the slight swirling left behind by the compound and finishes down really well.\u00a0 In comparison to M205, I would say the Finishing Wax has very similar work time and finishes down just as well.\u00a0 It also has just about the same cutting ability.\u00a0 As with the Correcting Compound, the Finishing Wax is easily one of my go-to products now, especially for one-step detailing work.<\/p>\n
