FAQs

Can I use Meguiar's G8408 on matte paint?

It is recommended to test on a small, hidden area first, but this product is primarily formulated for gloss automotive finishes.

How often should I apply this product?

For optimal protection and shine, reapplication every 4-6 weeks is typically recommended depending on driving conditions.

Does it remove deep scratches?

No, this is a detailing solution meant for surface enhancement and protection, not paint correction for deep scratches.

Can it be applied by machine?

Yes, it is compatible with professional detailing machines, provided you use the appropriate soft foam polishing pads.

Is it safe to use on glass?

While it may not harm glass, it is designed for paint surfaces. We recommend using a dedicated glass cleaner for windshields and windows.

Troubleshooting

Product streaking on the surface

Usually caused by applying too much product or working in direct sunlight. Use less product next time and ensure the surface is cool.

Hard to wipe off

You may have let the product dry for too long. Use a slightly damp microfiber towel to re-liquefy the residue and wipe immediately.

Uneven appearance

Ensure you are using consistent pressure and overlapping passes with your applicator pad during the initial application.
