    Megs M105 hard to remove?

    Any secrets to removing M105? Tried a test spot on my car the other day and it was pretty hard to remove. Not sure if I didn't work it long enough for it to completely flash or it was too cool (45-50degrees) to work with. I did see it dusting up a little. Does anyone have any tips on how to make removal easier? I am applying it with a PC 7424XP on a orange LC pad.

    I have hear baby oil helps lubricate and increases working time, plus decreases dusting. You don't want to work it till it's dry, it will be like cement. But using a quick detailer can usually help.

    If there was product left to remove then you didn't work it long enough

    OP, try spritzing the area with water, then going at it again apply firm pressure, work in a tight area, and ignore the dust

    Re: Megs M105 hard to remove?

    I recently did the hood of my 350Z and I had no issues. I worked it doing about 6 section passes like I have worked with other compounds and I had no issues with extreme dusting or difficult removal. It takes a little elbow grease, but not excessively. M205 wiped right off. I did use XMT pad conditioner prior to starting with the 105, so maybe that helped with work time and ease of use.

    As weird as this sounds, M105 is easier for me to remove when it has dried. Usually flashes over right after I pass over it.

    Just like removing a coat of wax. M205 and D300 on the other hand, those oils were hard to completely remove.

    when i first used m105 it dried like cement, that is before i learned to prime pad then use very little polish and keep pad clean. google the kevin brown method, or search here for it and it will help alot. spot is hard to remove i use ONR or dp rinseless wash diluted to clay lube strength and spray it and it melts right off. or you can just go over the spot with fresh polish and it comes right off then also. takes some time and you will get the hang of it.

    Re: Megs M105 hard to remove?

    I used m105 for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I know that at first i used too much product, and it was hard to wipe off. i am not an expert by know means, but i think the trick is not to use to much. At least it did for me!

    Even when sufficient product was used, M105 can be a "little" more difficult to use. You can use the spritzing method as mentioned above... OR like me, just switch to Megs Power Finish...love that stuff.
