Megs M100 on a RAM 1500
I have a black 2022 RAM 1500 that has a few scratches that are bugging me to say the least.
You can't feel them with your nail (if that helps), so I tried the M105 with a yellow lake country pad on the 3401C polisher, it worked for some but not all.
Upon researching for a stronger compound than the M105, I came across the M100, so I just ordered it now.
However, I wanted to know, which pad do I need for this to work? Can I stick to the lake country yellow pad?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Megs M100 on a RAM 1500
If the 105 worked for "some" scratches but not others, that tells me the "others" are simply deeper and need more effort -or- you didn't work those areas as thoroughly. I would just make a few more passes with the 105 (if it's safe to do so based on your own risk tolerance).
From a cut perspective, the 105 should be able to remove any "repairable" scratch.
One downside to the 105 is that it has a fairly short cycle time before it starts to dry out. I'm not sure how the 100 compares in that respect.
As for pad choice - I have no comment.

Re: Megs M100 on a RAM 1500
As a Ram owner myself, and having worked on handful of my friends' Rams, I can tell you that the clear coat is "medium/hard to the hard side".
Like John stated above, you might want to make a few more section passes over the deeper scratches. And with slower arm speed.
See what that yields before jumping up to a more aggressive pad/product.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Thanks for the tips!
I'll give it another go, worse case, the M100 should get here in a few days and hopefully that solves it.
Since you work on a lot of RAMs, is there any products that you would recommend for a black one?
I usually do this on Honda/Acura & Toyota/Lexus, never tried it on the RAM:
Meguiar's M105
Meguiar's D30032 Correction Compound
Meguiar's D30101 Finishing Wax
