Baby Oil & Meg's 105

Why would you use 105 to correct halo's?

For me, I was working on RIDS throughout the car.

Yes, baby oil instead of water. I tried water and an ONR solution but it did little in helping. I didn't get that fanatical (IPA wipes in between). I had some RIDS and usual swirl marks (light) that I wanted to correct. I am happy with the results.

Yes, I did find myself using more towels.

RIDS, yes, but holograms? 205 should work.

Agreed Rsufer, 205 gets the job done!

Think 205 would be a better starting point? Hmm 105 could be over kill

I have yet to try the M105-M205 combo. They're still getting M85 at work. I'm going to buy my own supplies for work since everyone else there has no clue.

Hunter09, as the veterans of this industry say, do a spot first. In this case, with 205. Try with different pads. If you get the results you want, then you ARE getting the job DONE with the least aggressive method therefore leaving more paint on the car.

Good Luck buddy

Thinking out loud...Wouldn't adding oil to 105 (even a tiny bit) tend to make it more like Ultimate Compound?

We know the UC was derived from 105, and one thing they (Megs) did was to tweak it for less dusting.

Not trying start a flame war, just a question...
