    Re: Tips to acheive a flawless finish with M205 and a DA polisher

    Thanks for the information. I`ve used M205 several times and always used it the same way as other polishes. This will cut down on the cleaning time.

    I like M205 on a crimson LC Hydro-Tech pad or White Polishing Flat pad.

    Re: Tips to acheive a flawless finish with M205 and a DA polisher

    I kinda picked up 3 different LC white pads
    5.5 CCS
    5.5 Flat
    5.5 Even pressure flat pad (the one with blue cushion)

    What would be the best one from the whites to use the M205, Also got a orange and yellow if you think that might be better.

    Re: Tips to acheive a flawless finish with M205 and a DA polisher

    This is some good stuff, I had the oppertunity to try this a couple days ago and I`ve never had a polish that finishes as nicely as this. I used it with an LC Orange hydro tech pad and it was beautiful...

    BTW I hear you want to work a little fast with this stuff, can anyone confirm???
    Get your shine on!

    Re: Tips to acheive a flawless finish with M205 and a DA polisher

    I`m also wondering if this method is the same when using the Flex 3401??
    Thanks

    Using moderate pressure, a clean pad, and short work times with increase M205`s finishing ability on a FLEX

    Re: Tips to acheive a flawless finish with M205 and a DA polisher

    Another pleasing fact, and quality about Meg`s #205.

    It is a superb hand polish. Even easier to work with than #7, and the results are defintely eye popping.

    I know we guys like hauling out the ole machines, and going at it, but as we all know, there`s many areas a machine cannot address.

There are so many factors involved, such as product amount applied, how saturated the pad is, and working section, but I would estimate that I work some like PO85rd at least 3 times longer.
    Do you maintain firm pressure, even on the last 30 seconds with diminishing abrasives?

    Re: Tips to acheive a flawless finish with M205 and a DA polisher

    Thanks for the bump! I haven`t read this one yet.

    Yesterday I detailed my mother in laws 02 Accord. M 205 was an obvious choice for polish since I had very little time with the car.(like always) 2 passes with an LC Flat White pad on a PC DA produced plenty of gloss and enough correction for a daily driver with 200,000 miles and CC failure.
