Use the Meguiars pads dry to apply each product. If you apply NXT to thick, yes you will get slight dusting. Just don't apply it to thick.

After I wipe down a panel, I shake out my microfiber before I go to the next panel.

And #2 does not have fillers. It's a polish.
Good info in that post ..

#2 does have fillers in it ..

Deep Crystal #2 is a pure polish with no fillers...


the frustrating thing about Meg's .. sevral products sometimes referred to by the same damn name ..


#2 Fine Cut is a swirl cutter with pretty decent fill characteristics, and a good choice when attenpting to remove swirls by hand using a good quality terry cloth applicator.

#2, does not have fillers. #2 is a polish with light abrasives.

I can't find the thread on Meguiar's Online, but someone took M80 and applied it to a swirled panel. They then took simple green and wiped the panel down to remove all of the so-called fillers in the paint. The panel was still swirl free. They did this to prove that M80, M83, and the other polishes with abrasives in fact do not have so-called fillers.
