Last weekend I used Meguiars M105 for the first time. I really liked the product but i was having trouble with drying too fast and lots of dusting. What over products are equal or almost equal to M105. I want to try something different till i get more comfortable with M105. Also any tips of using M105? I used it on a Surbuf and Orange pad

Thanks. Any other brands besides Meguairs. What about Menzerna?

I had same problem with m105. What helped was priming the pad and using little product, cleaning on the fly (i cleaned after every section pass), and every now and then spritz the pad once with a fine mist of distilled water.

A lot less dusting although it still dusted a little when i hit tape. However, very little residue left over that needed to be buffed off.

Menzerna does have more working time. SIP is pretty aggressive but breaks down over its use, might be an option.

What are you trying to do? Depending on what you are trying to correct, Megs UC is a pleasure to work with.

Drying too fast is usually beacuse your using too much product. I found that out the hard way. I've found m105 to be temp sensitive, so make sure your not using it on a hot pannel or in the sun (no brainier I know).

Ult Comp is a little less aggressive and is a lot easier to work with so I've read. I finally figured out how to use M105, espec after reading Richy article, that its all I use now.

If M105 is your goal, I would stick to the other Megs products. They are SMAT. The Menz products are great, but, are DAT products. They behave a little differently.

I would recommend Megs Ultimate Compound. It is basically M105 for the consumer. It is fairly easy to work with and fairly aggressive. I love it.

SMAT is Super Micro Abrasive Technology. The abrasives in the product stay the same size so the amount of cut stays the same throughout the buffing cycle.

DAT is Diminishing Abrasive Technology. The abrasives in the product will break down and get smaller and less aggressive as you work the product longer.
