Have you ever taken a stab at it Barry? How about you Jake?

I personally love the 105/205 combo Dave.. Probably one of the best out on the market right now. which reminds me I need to put an order in for more 105 here soon.

They flat work. Simple as that. Right now, IMO, they are the polishes to beat...and I believe a lot of companies are now working to see what they can come up with. Imagine how good the polish/compound that is better will be!

You replied faster that I could edit. Ever try them with a DA polisher?

You using a Dynabrade? I believe that is what the Big 3 use on the assembly line.

I'm waiting to try that. I actually have some 105/orange pad in the trunk in case I get a chance when I'm at a Body Shop.

I used it with my G110. Got great results with it. I personally find a lot of use for both machines (well in my case all 4 of them) which is why I find this thread funny. a D/A is NOT faster or better than a rotary and visa versa. anyone that says so it either closed minded or unskilled at whichever one they are downing. I can correct just as fast with either. I find it much easier to use a rotary for correction work over the D/A but that's just because I've been using a rotary for over 15 years now and a D/A for just over a year. I love both tools. and I really think they have their solid uses. Saying a D/A is better than a rotary is dumb. but saying a rotary will beat out a D/A all the time is just as dumb to say as well. Both are highly effective tools. if you perfere one over the other so be it. It's your business run it the way you want. But don't jump other people for running their business differently. We all work in our own comfort zones and we all love what we do.

I use a norton d/a at the house here. Yes I have used m105/205 combos tons of times. I also like a few others they make which are often overlooked like m95, and cut and solo cream. I'm just shocked by how many use them. I'm a amazed that not many people here use other products. Like malco, Automagic, Ardex. or if they are there not admitting to it. lol I just think there are so many other gret products out there.

I have gone from 105 via Makita with a LC White Leveling Pad to Menzerna 106FA on a LC White Polishing pad with no holograms, hazing, trails, anything left. Granted, this was on SUPER hard Audi clear. On "MOST" cars I can do 105/purple wool/orange, then straight to 106FA with absolutely no problem at all. Even after several IPA wipe downs and in 90 degree weather so the sun has time to dry any oils that would remain. I still use my PC if applying a certain sealant, or sometimes on a simple 1 step, but on most of my 1 steps, I use Menzerna 203/LC White Pad and have no problem finishing down great, and going straight to sealant.

Dj I like ya a lot bro you know that. Man I just can see how you use them purple foam pads though. lmao!

You're the new king of ignorant blanket statements.
