Has anyone used both Optimum Compound II and M105? How do they compare in cutting ability??

M105 cuts faster.

Optimum Compound II and Hyper-Compound are both wetter products and have longer buffing cycles and easier wipe-off with little to no dusting issues but M105 does cut faster.

Thanks Mike!! Is the faster cut significant?? Twice as fast, three times as fast ???

Mike, I have gone by your suggestion in the book for doing 5-6 sections passes. Since you say that OCII has a longer work time, should I do more passes?

In my experience with OCII and M105, M105 definitely cut more than OCII with the same number of passes.

M105 cuts faster and finishes better.

I don't know if it's drastic as cutting twice as fast, it just cuts faster.

Sure, if your test spot shows you need a certain amount of passes to remove the defects to your satisfaction and you're not buffing to a dry buff then continue making passes.

No problem brother, it's kinda old now and honestly thinking back I wish I would've named the title something else so the search function would help people find the info if needed.

When using Optimum Compound II do you use the Kevin Brown Method or just do a normal 3 or 4 dots to prime then a couple more each additional section??
