Is the Meg`s 105/205 combo replacing the Menz SIP/106 combo? I`ve been off the forum for about a year and a half, and when I frequented it then, SIP had just been out for about a year or so. SIP/106 was the touted as one of the best combo`s to use since they were both designed to work on harder clears and finished really well. I used SIP/106 and got good results, not great, but good. Now all I see is 105/205. Is this substantially better than SIP/106? Or is it just the new flavor of the month?

105 will be more aggressive and correct better than SIP which IMO was over hyped. As to which finishing polish you use that`s a matter of personal preference- FP2, 106, 3m, Megs #9 etc.

So far for me 105/205 has been the flavor of the 1.5 yrs.

lol. So are you saying that its been your favorite for the past 1.5 years? Or that it`s just been overhyped for a long time?

Not for me, I am still a Menzerna fan. Nice having a choice though.

They are the only polishes I have used for the last 18 months.

i think you will find price of 105/205 vs SIP/106 will alone attract many on the professional level.

Haha yea, I can get both for just a little more than SIP alone.

Price has really nothing to do with it for me. I`d pay more for something that works.

I guess my post came across a bit wrong..
but when they both achieve outstanding results... 105/205 is a no brainer.

I personally like the M105/106fa combo. :chuckle:
I`ve used both M205 and 106fa and I find 106fa to finish down a lot better and easier. I also am willing to pay more for something that works and 106fa works for me.

105 took me a while to get used to, but now I hardly ever use anything else. 205 has been a favorite from the first time I used it.
We pay a bit of a premium for it here though being a small island group a looonnnggg way away but it tops everything else I`ve tried to date.
