M205, any reason to change?

[Bigbull2984]

I only detail my cars and maybe couple of family members, The condition is great on all three. When spring rolls around I will do minor correction, and usually use M205.

I know there are alot of polishes out their and this can become a opinionated debate quick.

Am I missing anything by using just M205? It leaves a great finish with and decent correction on its own.

Should I expand my horizon:dblthumb2::buffing:

EDIT: I forgot I have the Pinnacle Twins too.

Short Answers:
NO, for a DD it's fine.
You can if you want?

I would pick up at least one product with a little more cut like Menzerna FG400 and keep the 205.

The FG400 has caught my eye because the way it finishes.

I just updated my comment, I forgot about the Pinnacle Twins I won last year.

The condition is great on all three.
Since the paint-condition of all three is great...

There may not be the need to use M205 over each entire vehicle...
Just, perhaps, for isolated areas in need of spot-buffing.
(Conservation/preservation of CC is paramount...IMHO)


Personally, I would use these products on great condition vehicles:
-AIO's...such as: Meg's Black Wax or White Wax; Meg's A12; Klasse AIO.
-Glazes/Polishes...such as: 3M Imperial Hand Glaze; Meg's #7


You didn't mention the LSP's you use.
-I like Meg's M26 or 3M Show Car Wax over the glazes: IHG & #7
-Klasse HGSG over KAIO

Since the condition of your cars are all great. I would add SF4000 or SF4500. These two are even more gentle than M205 and produces a greater shine on some paints.

Hey Bob how are you :)

That is correct it will be isolated areas only, have you tried the new Megs Black and white Wax yet?

For LSP, most likely BFWD or BFCS. Topped with a nuba like Fuzion, SSI, Souveran, or BFMS.

I don't think you're missing out on much if you are just doing your own car :)

What pads are best recommended with the 205?

Haha one day Dhaval maybe one day ;)

Btw, just to clarify for anyone else, that's a joke, I don't even come close to considering myself a pro :)

[Bigbull2984]

The Tangerine HT pad and M205 is my favorite combo. The pad might seem hard at first but soften up once you start to work as heat builds up.

Hey Bob how are you :)

Been doing fair to middlin'...Thanks for asking.

Hope all's well with you.

That's the way to do it...:props:

{CC-paint = Hard economic times = Save up; Save up; Save up.} :D




have you tried the new Megs Black and white Wax yet?

Yes I have...
IMO...The White Wax does a great "cleaning-job";
the Black Wax imbues more gloss...
even on hard-to-do-so: white/silver/yellow/etc. "colors".


Keep on ashining, my forum friend!

m205, depending on pad can cut real nice, obviously depending on your cars paint system. But for me, I can get good work done with 205 and an orange pad.

205 can be a really awesome polish as i've learned to play with it!
