Polish/Compound/PaintCleaner

I can get M205, but the price was crazy ... its about USD 65/32oz ... 3m was around USD 25, so If they are not much different, I will go for 3M far cheaper ...

I jst bought M105, D151, D120 (glass cleaner) ... I got some fine scratches on my car ... hopefully could remove by CCS hand applicator (orange) as u guys suggested ... hehe

Anyone use before the lusso revitalising? is it good cleaner for wax, waterspot etc ...

 

For Meguiar's, go with M105 & M205. There is no need to get M80 & M83. M105/M205 can be applied by hand, but of course they will be more effective if applied by machine. You might also consider SwirlX and Ultimate Compound, if they are available. SwirlX would be a good, and hopefully less expensive, substitute for M205, especially for hand application.

 

Agree with Akimel..105 n 205 is very good combo..but as for 205 it can be subtitued with other products eg. Menz PO85RD, 3M Ultrafina, Optimum Finish( which aren't to different with 205 IMHO)

as for lusso revitilising creme is needed under lusso wax..its just like SV CF

 

Given the often said least aggressive method possible, I am wondering what polish is somewhere between M105 and M205 rather than everyone just going to M105 if M205 does not work like SIP.

 

:shead: A 50/50 split of 105/205^^^^^


I would like to have this^^^from this day on known as "The FG Method" :wicked:

 

Agreed with You, try the least aggresive method ... before using 105 (consider as compound) ...

 

Don't try to get Mother's products, they aren't really that good, they are really famous here in Canada but everyone knows the truth about them and avoid them. Stick with AutoGlym or Duragloss, they are VERY prestigious as well as Optimum. However, with that said, I think some of the Meguiar's cutting compounds are actually pretty decent.

 

You might consider Megs' Ultimate Compound as a polish/compound that stands between M205 and M105. See this chart that was recently posted at Detailing in Truth.

 

Yes, megs 105 is one of the best cutting compound in the market now

Thanks for your infomation, this is very useful for all of us, especially newbie in detailing ... :applause:

 

The beauty of 105 and 205is it is pad depend, so depending on what pad you use will dictate how much or little cut either product has. 205 is a great replacement for sip since you can use a white or green pad with and it will work just as well as sip if not better. You can do alot of correction with just 105, 205, and Ultrafina. Just having those three will take care most of everything you run across. Also you do not need to match paint cleaners with the same wax company, plus you dont even need to use a paint cleaner under a certain wax. After polishing just do your IPA wipedown and you will be ready to apply your lsp. Paint cleaner before your wax is not going to make it last any longer with or with out it. Paint cleaner is a nice way to clean up your paint after a wash when no polishing is needed.
