I've used it. It works ok, but I get better results with 105 and 205.

105 and 205 what? Grits?

[BobbyG]

Meguiar's M105 is a compound capable of removing up to 1200 - 1500 grit or do.

Meguiar's M205 is a polish capable of removing up to 2000 - 2300 grit or so..

105 and 205 are both Meguiars products

With a DA? or Rotary?

[aznwhip]

I used a DA. Did a side by side test with some pretty bad headlights on my friend's car and even though the Diamondite system did an admirable job clearing up the headlight, it was noticeably better with 105/205 combo. I did use the Diamondite clear plastic sealant on both afterwards though. If I could do it over again, I'd just consolidate products and stick with 105/205 as you can use that for paint correction as well.

which pad did you use with the 105/205 combo?

[aznwhip]

which pad did you use with the 105/205 combo?

This for 105
Meguiars Burgundy Soft Buff 4 Inch Foam Cutting Pads, compounding pads, buffer pads (http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-soft-buff-cutting-pads.html)

And this for 205
Meguiars Yellow Soft Buff 4 Inch Foam Polishing Pads, polishing pad, buffer pad, polish applicator (http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-soft-buff-polish-pads.html)

Those are the only 4" foam pads I have around. Not sure how well my surbuf pads would have worked...probably not as well due to the curvature of the lens.

Simple solution - M105 with a yellow or orange LC foam pad on a Flex 3401 works for me everytime :xyxthumbs:

I just used this product on a doge avenger and i did not work.
It actually put scratches into the headlight!!
Can anyone tel me why?
I have to detail a car tomorrow and I don't know what to do.

I have used the diamondite kit before on my VW and a Buick and it worked great.

I tried to clean the pad, thought maybe it was clogged but didn't find success after.
