Ive never used M105 before so i really have no idea what to expect when using it other than what i have read on forums. I just recall reading something along the lines of it dusting and some else replied that it never really dusted for them. I know its probably not a big deal but if i find that post again ill share it with you. Thanks for the heads up though i always like to be prepared and informed about something Iv`e never used.

Firebird is right. If you don`t already have the 105 and are going to order, go with the Meg`s MF kit. Less dusting, more forgiving and good results unless you need major correction. I was answering with the premise that you already have the 105 on hand or in transit. What machine are you using?

I just got the 105/205 kit a couple of days ago. I will be using a Flex XC3401 with LC 5.5 flat pads.

I am just a weekend warrior and just do my cars and my friends. I know M105 has its place but since D300, I will avoid using M105 if I could use D300. Don`t miss the dusting and so nice to use. Good luck...let us know your results.

Exactly how I started. You will be thrilled with the results. Take your time, move the flex slowly across the paint, and watch the edges, trim, etc?

Try the M205 first, it may just get the job done.

Yeah i plan on using the 205 with an orange pad or should i use a different pad first? I currently have on hand 2yel, 2org, 2wht, 1blue and 1blk all LC flat 5.5

Have a spray bottle of water to extend the working time if necessary.

Should i just give the pad a spray or two?

A light mist is all it takes. Either on the pad or directly to the working area, which is what I do when working with my PC. Too much water and it will start to sling.

205 on an orange pad will be a good starting point. I have had great results with that on soft paint, but it will still probably need a follow up with a softer pad for a good finish. (I followed up with Menz 85rd on a black car and it came out fantastic.) If that is close, but not quite enough, I would try 105 with white pad. But if it is not even close to enough, then it will take 105 on orange. Go slow at first with this (light-med pressure and short work time and check often) until you get a feel for how it`s working. No need to take off more clear than necessary.
