Meguiar’S M0416 Mirror Glaze Heavy-Cut Cleaner, 16 Fluid Ounces

Meguiar’s auto compound for heavy defect removal

Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze M04 Heavy Cut Cleaner is the perfect solution for removing heavy swirls, scratches, severe oxidation, alkaline and acid rain etchings, and more! This professional grade cleaner works with diminishing abrasive technology to cut quickly and then reduce to a polishing rouge to minimize swirling. Buffered abrasive action also lubricates the finish to further prevent scouring or scratching like a traditional compound. It’s ideal for older lacquer and enamel glossy paints and is formulated specifically to be used by rotary buffer. Meguiar’s Heavy Cut Cleaner is a body shop safe formula and is an excellent first step to remove heavy defects and then follow with a less aggressive product like Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze M09 Swirl Remover 2.0 to further refine the paint. After removing all defects be sure to protect the paint with a good wax or sealant like Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze M26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax or Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze M21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0.

How to apply Meguiar’s Heavy Cut Cleaner

• Shake product well before use.
• Always work on a clean, cool surface and in the shade.
• Be sure you are familiar with proper use of a rotary buffer.
• Apply to one section at a time, using a Meguiar’s 8” Soft Buff Rotary Wool Cutting Pad – WRWC8 or Meguiar’s 7” Soft Buff Rotary Heavy Cutting Wool Pad – WRWHC7.
• Work product into a section with several overlapping passes until nearly dry.
• Wipe off excess before product fully dries with a premium microfiber towel like Meguiar’s Supreme Shine Microfiber Towels – X2020.
• For more stubborn defects repeat until serious defects are removed.
• Follow with a less aggressive cleaner like Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze M09 Swirl Remover 2.0 to remove the remaining light swirls and further refine the paint. Typically, you want to use a less aggressive pad like Meguiar’s 7” Soft Buff Rotary Foam Polishing Pad – WRFP7 to remove defects while running less of a risk of further inducing swirls.

• For darker colored cars follow with an optional Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze M07 Show Car Glaze for more of that deep “wet look”.
• Finalize with a quality wax or sealant with something like Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze M26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax or Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze M21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0 for tough, long-lasting protection.
• Keep off non-painted rubber and vinyl surfaces to avoid getting a residue that’s difficult to remove.
