Power Gloss vs. 105

[WRAPT C5Z06]

I'm not concerned with the cut. I'm more curious if you will get less marring from Menzerna power gloss because it's a diminishing abrasive vs. non diminishing?

If you use both of them with an aggressive pad they will both mar pretty much the same. Now if you use a less aggressive pad with both, 105 will mar less.

Power Gloss is extremely aggressive, and should have a bit more bite than 105. I find Power Gloss somewhat hard to work with because it dries out quickly and dusts like crazy.

I am curious to try the 105/205 combination myself but I can't comment on the Megs side yet.

Via DA or rotary. What's your conclusion between the 2?

105 is the way to go with a da.

I like them both . You can get good results with both .
They need to be followed up with finer polishes.
On my red vert , I used the power gloss on the back bumper followed up with sip then 85 rd .

Menzerna is the product of choice for me and my shop, if the drying out to quick is bothersome, try priming the pad with distilled water, this will allow you to have longer working time, as for dusting...it is annoying, but you need to do an IPA wipedown and then re-wash, the results are certainly well worth it !!

What does IPA stand for?

Iso-Propyl Alcohol I believe (dont quote me on it though ;) )

He said the same type of pad was used, so I would assume so. Looks like they cut about the same? PG a lil better?

The M105 looks better to me? Less swirling.

Okay. I remember seeing a video, where the car was wiped down with a 50/50(water/alcohol) solution.

What is the purpose of wiping down the whole car down with alcohol; after a polish?

I think he meant right and left side of the car. I'm confused. :(
