    Re: M105 Beginner Application

    If the GG comes with a backing plate, why get another one?

    How bad are the swirls now? Personally it would be my last resort before I went ahead and used M105. You'd be surprised on how well...

    Re: Detailing pics and camera phone photos don't mix

    Re: d300 vs m105

    OP, what pads are you using? What's your technique? You won't get much more aggressive of a compound then M105. Unless you can find M101.

    Too often many people get caught up on using a very...

    Re: Detailing pics and camera phone photos don't mix

    You can take some great photos with a phone... you just need some really good lighting. It's even more important with that small ass sensor and lens on your standard phone.

    Re: Is Ultimate Compound the better way to go?

    UC is very underrated IMO. For most cars that do not have heavy swirls, I usually go with UC or D300. I haven't touch M105 in months since getting M101.

    Re: Best polish after using Meguiars Ultimate Compound?

    Megs UC leaves a pretty decent finish to it depending on the pad you used.. If anything, get some M205 to remove any light swirl.

    Re: Speedy Prep Towel
