DAMF + m105= Fantastc

[HateSwirls]

Today I was working on a Hyundai , black paint , very bad condition.
Anyway, I was using the Meguiar's Correcting Compound/MF Cutting Disk along with my GG6, removed the defects but was far from last step ready so followed with the m205 and a LC Flat pad, Bam, perfect.
Then I ran into a panel that wasn't correcting as I wanted so I switched to the m105, still using the DAMF.
Made 2-3 section passes,buffed it off and to my surprise the paint was very close to last step ready.

I'm sure this won't be the case on all clears but I'll try it tomorrow on a Dodge ,GMC trucks and a red RAV4.
Surely I can't get three in a row to go my way!
Both trucks are in desperate need of a paint correction.

The m105 is more aggressive compared to the Correcting Compound so it surprised me I had better results using the m105.
How many of you tried this combo

I have three vehicles to work on this weekend, all of them are thrashed , only two days to do all three.
My guys washed and clayed them today so no prep work on my part.

Kevin, get Americana Amerirocks compound. Blows M105 out of water. And way less dusting!!

Where can I get it?
I really love my m105:D

Good to hear, Kevin! Thanks for the heads up.

Keep practicing and you'll see this consistently on most paint systems using that combo.

I don't care what anyone says, nothing blows M-105 out of the water if you've mastered it's use.

You can get it from Americana Car Care.

I've used M105 with the MF pads when I forgot my D300 and it hazed the paint and dusted too much. But for super hard paint I could see you having good results.

I end up using M105 with the MF pads on many of the correction jobs that I do, it works amazingly and to control dusting a random spritz of water on the pad here and there helps minimize it. I also have a bottle that is half M105 and half D300 and I probably use this as much as M105 straight (my go to set up for full correction jobs is usually my M105/D300, MF 5" cutting disc and my Rupes21, a stellar combo). The D300/M105 has almost just as much cutting power, but doesn't dust nearly as bad as M105 straight. Those are some great compounds that Meguiars makes and are very affordable compared to many others out there.

If you haven't tried it yet, give M101 a shot - another great compound by Meguiars, but the smell usually keeps me from using it to often.

Is it more pungent than Menz FG400?

[jarred767]

Haven't used that but it's similar to the Advanced Compound from Pinnacle. Smells like gasoline IMO. My wife usually asks me if I spilled gas on myself when I come home after working with either one. Don't know why they have to reek so bad.

I actually like the smell, just wish it was dialed down a bit..

Good ol meguitars 1/2 punch!

I haven't yet used the m105/microfiber in warm dry conditions.

I used 105 in the sun once, and it was a disaster. I was using an open cell pad on the 3401 on speed 6, and it was like shaking talcum powder all over the place.

M105 on microfiber does cut really nice though. In my testing, that combo even on a Porter Cable is a very strong combination. On soft paint even 1000 grit is easily removed.

As far as 105 dusting, it does dust a bit but keep in mind at heart, 105 is not a new age infinite working compound. It has a very short working time and due to the heavy amount of abrasives in the compound, your pads will require cleaning much more often.

With my flex vvb rotary, I get maybe two passes out of a section at 12-1500 rpm and that is it. When I started with my rotary, it was a snow storm and now not so much.

Keep in mind QUICK work time and pad cleanliness are key here. Do that and follow up with a finer polish.

I have only ever had it dust in direct sunlight that one time. I've had great experiences with it aside from that.

Same here. First full rotary buff using it was a big Chevy in sun. It walked my ass up and down.
