M101, M100 via microfiber pads?

[The Enforcer]

Well, it`s safe to say I`m officially tired of using M105. It dusts, it slings, it makes a mess. Great results no doubt, but the mess that`s left after it is bothersome. I think I would actually spend the same amount of time working a less aggressive product longer, when compared to the time it takes to clean up 105`s mess.


`


SO, I have tried M100 and M101 and love them. Great cut, and very minimal dusting. Also, they both wipe off like butter. Now my question.....how will these work via microfiber cutting pads? M100 is obviously designed for wool, and M101 is obviously designed for foam...but have any of you tried them with microfiber yet?

No clue here. I sick with a line so that I can

perform one step after another with no work added.

Use M100 all the time with both Meguiars and Optimum MF cutting pads. Works amazingly well.`

I`m seeing plenty of dust with 101....

[The Enforcer]

nowhere near the dusting of 105. I`ve found that a couple drops of 205 on a pad with 105 keeps dusting down, but also reduces the cut as well...

^{Love M101 and M100 on mf pads. If you have a lot of m105 sitting around try mixing in a little M100 or D300. You might be surprised.}

[Woob]

M100/205/D300 over 101 simply due to dust and the nature of 101 as a really strong compound.

Good tips, thanks guys

[The Enforcer]

Paul, will mixing m100 in with is cut down on dusting?

[gmblack3]

M205 on a MF finishing pad, prime well, clean after each section and prime again. With a rupes 21 or rotary/dynabrade there is not much that this combo wont cut. Been using it to do 95% of our corrections over the last 15 months.`

[The Enforcer]

correction with M205? Is that` typo or are you really getting that much cut with 205 and MF?

[Accumulator]

So which one do you folks recommend, M100 or M101.` Wouldn`t mind more cut than M105 for those rare spot-corrections on the Audis.


`


The Enforcer- I`d guess he`s getting the cut with M205/MF primarily from using the Rupes 21 or the rotary/dynabrade.`

Actually seems to be quite the 2nd wind for M205 that many have been raving about. Haven`t tried it yet personally, but from what people have been claiming it`s the bees knees.`

I used both 100 and 101 in comparison to 105 today`on a C6 corvette today. My thoughts:


`


1.105 still very hard to remove, short work time, dries up to fast, doesn`t glide well on paint, and is hard as ```` to remove.


`


2.100...I compounded most of the car with this` and purple LC wool. It works well with wool, and I like the safety that wool provides by keeping temps down. Low dusting, goes on SUPER smooth, removal is very easy as well. You just have to apply more because it seems that this polish is a diminishing abrasive (unlike 105, but who cares bc 105 dries out much faster than it breaks down). Also on this rock hard paint, this combo finished down "almost" LSP ready.


`


3.101...Used this with a blue hydro LC pad and IMO it cuts more than the above combos. I used this to spot correct the heavy defects areas. I just don`t like the heat associated with compounding with a foam pad. It goes on just as easy as 100, removal may be a little EASIER, and it is lower dusting.


`


Final thoughts: M105 will stay on the shelf and not be used unless I am removing sanding scratches. M100 via wool and M101 via foam cutting pad is the ticket. I have not tried these combos with MF pads yet!

The Enforcer- Thanks for that summary of how you view/use the three compounds.` Some day I oughta pick up some M101.


`


David Fermani- If M205 regains popularity maybe somebody will buy my gallon of it!
