2 totally different products


depends on your purpose

SIP is better for a job that only requires moderate paint correction. It's an awesome polish, especially via rotary.

M105 is better at removing heavy defects- deep swirls, scratches, etching, water spots, etc

Both actually probably finish out about the same, so if you had to buy just 1 M105 would "do more," but at the same time it is not a good idea to use overly aggressive products when possible. Meguiar's preaches (as do others) to use the least aggressive option that effectively fixes the problem- in some cases, SIP would be the answer.

All that said, I have both products, and when do full corrections (90% of my work is this) I reach for M105 over 90% of the time after testing.

I would get 105 over SIP...use it with a light cutting pad for good correction, or a polishing pad for a better finish...havent used SIP yet, will try it out tomorrow for the first time, but for the price, might as well get the 105 and get more cut, same (apparently) finish, for less money

105 = $90/gallon
SIP = $150/gallon

....hmmmm

Price is a great point.

I dropped $150 + shipping on my SIP.

I get my M105 for $69~ plus extremely low shipping rates from Auto Detailing Supplies

FWIW, Rick at ADS is amazing and will always hook you up on price and service.

As others have already stated, two polishes for different purposes. The last time I polished my car, I you M105 on a cutting wool pad, I cleaned up the haze that combo left with SIP on a polishing pad then refined the paint with 106FF Nano Polish on a finishing pad. Three different polish and pad combinations for three different stages of polishing the paint, those being, 1) correcting swirling and other marring with a heavy compound polish and cutting pad, 2) polish the haze left from compounding with a medium compound polish and polishing pad, 3) perfect the paint with a a finish polish and finish pad. All three states with a rotary.

I use them both mixed 50/50, works a treat.

I use both but use M105 for heavy correction work with a PFW. I like SIP but it's finicky with the temperature and humidity.
