    Re: M105

    Just had a brain fart... wondering if using M07 or even M205 as the supplemental wetting agent be better than just plain old water...

    Re: M105

    If you reread what I've written, paying particular attention to the lubricating abitities between oil and water as it pertains to this particular topic, you'll see that using an oily product such as 07 or 205 will serve to hyper lubricate thus decreasing the abrasives ability to cut and adding to the total time needed to achieve the cutting of the defects in the paint, not to mention factoring in the added expense of those products. Now you're working less efficiently which to me is working backwards.

    You'll add working time to the compound while diminishing it's ability to cut efficiently. Might as well just buy UC and forget about the "supplemental wetting agents" topic all together. It'd be a cheaper way of taking longer to finish the job.

    Dave's advice is spot on. Thanks for taking the time to write that out! Once you get the hang of M105 it's a great compound.

    Probably misting a little too much on.

    Adding the light mist of water should only be done after doing a section with product only and only after the product has dried up on the panel without getting the full cutting results you're looking to get.

    If you buff a work section and are happy with the results there, move on to another work section, mist the new section with a light mist of water and begin working that area. You'll get the hang of when to use the water and when not to if you continue to practice this method. The purpose of using the water mist is to get faster cutting from the M-105 and to reduce waste by making use of abrasives that are still very usable instead of brushing them off onto the floor.

    Saves time and money that over a year can be a huge chunk of savings.

    This method is not for everyone, is not the norm, and isn't necessary. It's something that some of us try to perfect and some can and some can't seem to make it advantageous.
