is M105 & 205 really the Right Products?

I am actually going that route too actually.

THIS!! I just used M101 for a complete correction on a swirled out Black E60- WAY less dust and awesome correction.

I do not have a rotary. Just a Flex 3401 and a Rupes LHR 75E Mini.

Megs 105/205 are great products. That being said, I am now a Menzerna guy. I use the FG400 in place of the Meg 105 and SF4500 for the 205. IMO Menzerna is a better correction product. The SF4500 will work well with your DA. I gave away my Megs because of Menzerna. Again, that is me...someone could disagree.

The combo of Menzerna is something to consider if you are looking for another product.

105 works very well, but can be maddening in terms of working time. 101 is a step upon work time, but pretty expensive. I haven't used Menz FG400 yet, but it's on its way.

105/205 are king.
every other product has been chasing them since they came out.
If it works why fix it?
I see hundreds of detailers buying every product under the sun then selling it after they only use it once. Makes no sense to me at all.
I have a few different compounds and polishes in my rig but I always grab 105/2 first and it works 99% of the time.

With a PC FG400 will make your life so much easier. The good thing about it is that it is SMAT/DAT hybrid. So it will diminish as well as cut until you stop. I have done several cars with it and was down to near LSP ready on white foam with FG400. No haze what so ever. No need for a second step.
You can also try HD Adapt. It's cheap and get great reviews. Same idea they call it something different and it also has a chemical cleaner in it as well.
I don't keep a lot of compounds on hand. FG400, 4500 and I'm gonna give HD adapt a shot. I have a lot of samples I noodle around with. I sampled 105/205 before and the dusting killed it for me. I'm all about less is more but it needs to be fast. I don't want to have to follow up with another step unless I have to. So if I can use FG400 and white pads and get near LSP ready I'm good.
