Let's see if they can live up to the international hype

Its time to debunk the hype or endorse it

Just picked up a box of goodies from the Post Office. I need to find a car with solid black paint to try them out. I am keen to see the level of correction when applied by hand.

Excuse the quality of these pics, took them using a cellphone in a dark basement parking lot. D@mn did I look suspicious.

Nice box of goodies Siya, you gonna have to find some PO85 or Ultrafina to compare to the M205...Or what else will you be comparing it to ?

damn.... and I get labeled a bimmer slvt! I think we should start labeling megs slvts

Siya arent megs going to bring this stuff to SA? or where you just not going to wait for it

[Starvekos]

Will not be comparing to other products. I am looking for products that are versatile, that can be applied by hand, orbital polisher and dual action polisher.

Mike Phillips, Meguiar's Online administrator, mentioned that the 2009 range would ship out in January 2009 to international regions. It doesn't sound like the range will be available anytime soon in SA. Maybe late March to April 2009 is my guess. So yes, I couldn't wait.

I am glad you brought up the Meguiar's slvt label. Naushad has promised to defend me if such a claim is brought forward

Jokes aside, the bulk of the order was non-Meguiar's products. I am looking forward to trying out this kit:

FYI Megs has been taken over by 3M so this may delay / curtail exports to SA

Nah, don't think so. Meguiar's is very tardy when servicing international regions even before the acquisition by 3M.
