    Try both the finishing pad and the polish pad and see which looks and finishes better.

    Interesting that this came up.

    I had a horrible experience with m205 today.

    This problem came up where it was very sticky and finicky.

    I had no idea what was going on because my previous 20 experiences with m205 had always gone awesome until today.

    Being mobile—it was like 50 degrees out and I was in an open garage. I dunno. I eventually had to keep cleaning it up with a wet mf with onr. It was a huge hassle.

    I felt like a loser today!

    It’s big brother M205 is so much easier to use in every way. It’s like they should be in opposite bottles because the user experience is like night & day.

    This 1 is fool proof.

    Agree 100%... easy to use, looks great.

    Foam polishing pads.
    Meguiars Yellow.
    Lake Country White.
    Lake Country HD Orbital Orange

    Also works great with any foam finishing pads.

    Never tried it with microfiber finishing pads.

    I had that happen with M205 and microfiber finishing pads a couple weeks ago. Switched to foam and all is well.

    Very rarely have that problem with UP tgese days, but when It happens I haven't shaken the bottle enough, or the product was old, like from 2011.
