Hey guys I`m pretty new to buffing world but I been tryin to use the makita on and wool pad or orange cutting pad - either way during my buffing the product is drying very quickly any suggestions? I no I`m not at s too high of

speed because I`m using maybe 1500 and it says to use fom 1500-2000rpm, I also know not to stay on a area too much so I`m not sure why it`s drying so quickly. The temperature I`m working in is probably low 80s and this happens on various cars and even the pc 7424



edit- I Also tried different amounts of m105 but it seems the more I put the more product dried up on the car

I have been giving it a spritz of water, but I wondered if maybe detail spray would be better.

M105 has a very short work time and if you`re doing this outside then that`s just going to make it worse.

M105 has such a short work-time that I`m tempted to quip "it`s a feature!" but if it`s drying out so fast that you`re having trouble using it then I`d consider a) sufficient product? and/or b) small enough work area?



I have mixed feelings about extending the work time via water/etc. While it`s worked OK for me it can also lead to some significant increases in hazing as the water replaces the lubes.

FYI: Meguiar`s officially recommends, if a wetting agent is needed, the use of M34 Final Inspection with M105. See Mike Pennington`s comment here (http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showpost.php?p=269918&postcount=16).

M34 is good to have on hand when using M105 anyhow; a little spritz before buffing off the residue helps minimize micromarring.

Last 2 days with heat index @ 103/105 the M105 was drying almost instantly.....Spritz of water allowed enough extended time to finish....Didn`t experience the same rapid drying with M205

I stumbled upon using #34 with #105, and it worked out for me. Myself, I`d be afraid to try it another way. I think that you gotta use "something," though.

Try keeping your work area small (1ft by 1ft) and have another go with it.
