Thought I would pass this along to anyone sitting on the fence looking to pick up the Megs MF system.


One of the down falls of visiting and helping my buddy on his ranch are the narrow trails and well, hunting dogs that really don't care about your paint.

This weekend while out running the dogs, 2 large male dogs wanted to visit the truck while we were stopped glassing a field. Patch (one of the dogs) decided he would put his paws on the truck and drag them down my door.

This happened not once but 2 times on the same damn door. I didn't get photos of the before of the second ones but this is what I am working with.

The photo doesn't do it justice but I was in a hurry...they actually go call the way down to the rocker panel



a little closer



So I decided this would be the day to try the new Megs MF system.

After the two step process



a little closer




Needless to say, I am a fan of the new stuff. It really does work well.

This was done with a DA (7424) Compound step was a tick or two over 5, the finish was 4.5




My take on the new system:

I've had the system sitting in my garage for several months and haven't had the right opportunity to try it. Still pretty stuck on the "tried and true" ways for correction.

Lets say this new system is another path and might I add, it WORKS very well.

First I preloaded the cutting pad with the compound (Pink in color, nice scent too) I was using the 5" pad on a DA 7424

Normally for work like this I would jump to my Flex or Rotary with a heavy compund like 105 or Menzerna SIP then step down polish.

I dabbed some on the paint and worked in a 1x1 ft square giving me 1.5 passes. (A pass to me may be different than most. 1 pass to me is working at 1" per second in the 1x1 sq area) I did check the work after first pass and the wet product did come off easy. Knowing I had plenty on the pad, I then spot worked the scratches thus giving me a 1.5 pass.

The cutting pad did dull a little and there was very little to no dust from the cutting. I tried med to light pressure just enough to where I could hear the machine work a little harder yet still maintain DA action.

Then I swapped pads and put on the finishing wax....with the finishing pad. 1 pass was all that was needed and it came off like QD.....it was that easy fellas. Left the surface very slick as well.

I also for the hell of it just did a quick pass on the half of the back door and it cleaned that up pretty well with some very light micro marring.

Overall, I am very impressed with the system, going to order more pads but I am not so sure I would use this with a Flex yet but I am going to order the 6" pads just to play with it.

Cons. Wish it came out sooner and wish I had used it sooner.

I would say, 2 guys doing 1 car with this could knock it out in 2 hours or less. It works fast, it works well.

That's my take on it...

I have some scratches on the passenger door that I will video and post on youtube of the process using the Megs MF System.

 

Nice work! Glad I have miniature Dachshunds.

 

Looks great.. I had the same thing happen to me also. Pulled up in the neighbor's drive way and his dalmation came running out and jumped up and then slid all the way down the drivers door . Havent had a chance to try to fix it. Dont even want to get started on the damn stray cats that are leaving scratches all over the truck.

 

Looks good!

 

Great piece of work there, J. I'm so far out of the game right now... just had to look up this new Meg's MF system. LOL!

 

Again, nice write up JP! I'll be trying this in the spring!

 

I had that problem for the last few years. Last summer I bought a trap. They will never scratch anything ever again...
And it really helped my marksmanship skills.

Great job JP. My wife isn't going to like my next order. LOL

 

So is it a scratch remover system per say? Or a new buffing bonnet thing?

 

It's a system - microfiber cutting pad, microfiber finishing pad, compound, and wax - for a DA buffer.

 

+1, thanks GLC...yes Pat...what he said.

Sorry, out of town right now. Slow on the uptake.


The net is, the stuff works.

I've been using this system since the first day it came out.
Short version: Quick, easy and excellent results.

The truck was pretty neglected but came right back with the Megs MF DA system.

Here's a couple of pics.
