Re: Megs 105/205 & Mez SIP

A "problem" (scare-quotes intentional) that I've been getting with M105 v2.0 is a light haze...sorta a pseudo-hologram effect...that seems to be caused by my wiping/buffing the product off. Yeah, "duh..it's a compound", but still. I'm even spritzing with #34 before buffing. It only shows up under *very* specific lighting conditions, the same ones that show holograms. It's usually easy enough to clear up, but on hard clear it takes a pad with a bit of cut to do it with M205.

I get sorta the same thing with M205 but that *appears* to be mainly a matter of polishing oils that don't play nice with certain paints.

In both these cases the paint appears perfect under 99% of the viewing angles/lighting conditions I'm using. It can take me many minutes of careful inspection to spot it (so gee, would it even matter to most people ).

And I'm still not sure yet, but I don't *think* M205 is finishing out quite as nicely as 1z HG does.

Which is the *exact* opposite opinion from that of my (good) painter

Eh...good thing I'm happy enough with M105 or I'd have to get some PG and see how it works for me...experiences seem to vary with those two products.
