    Wiping off M105

    I'm using M105 and sometimes you spend just as much time taking it off (not in the sun but in the garage) as I do putting it on. For the difficult spots, I spritz a little GG Spray On Car Wash to remove it. Is that okay on will this cause a problem when I go to use polish?

    It won't cause issues, but if you're having that much of an issue removing it, sounds like you're using too much product. A spritz of a QD will and can help, but you shouldn't be having to 'work' to get it off.

    I am still always reminding myself to use less product, youll get it.

    That won't be a problem. Like others mentioned above, try using less product.

    Re: Wiping off M105

    I have been getting the hang of M105 over the past 4 vehicles....not a pro.

    I have found that I am able able to finish it down enough with 8 passes, that it wipes off very easily. When I have an area that I know looks thick, I just go over it one more time to spread it out.

    Hope that make sense.

    Sounds to me your over working it.
    I never do more than 3-4 passes then wipe it off.
    You can't work large areas, sometimes 2x2 area is to large.
    Try cutting your work area to down to 16x16 and see what that does for you.
    Keep trying because the product is worth the effort IMO

    Thanks for all of your feedback. All of your answers seem to make a lot of sense. HateSwirls, it seems as if smaller drops won't go far enough but Think you're right about the 16x16 sections.

    I think you might be over working it as already mentioned. Perhaps a spray of water might be the answer. The following is something tuscarora dave posted on another thread but i think you might enjoy this read.

    Less is more. use very little after the pad is primed.
    Here is what a panel should look like after 105

    This pic was taken right after I polished the whole door.
    As you can see just a dusting of 105 is all that is left.
    I have always used 105 like this since it came out on hundreds of cars.
    Never had a problem wiping 105 off.

    Start out with four small drops, if it's not enough to do a 16x16 area then add a little more on your next area, do this until it works for you.
    In this case practice does make perfect
