I'm a little surprised (or impressed) that you were able to finish down 101 and a cutting disc with just Reflect and a soft finishing foam pad. Was this Jet Black?

...A swirl free, crytal clear finish with a high gloss is what we all strive for.

Certainly can't argue with the results shown in those pics. Very nice.

Thank you

Thank you...that's always fun.

Thank you...a test spot is a must. If I've learned one thing it is that every paint is different.

I've found that. on certain paints. M101 finishes down as good as M101/M205. I have done many a 50/50 with M101 alone and the M101/205 combo. On some paints there is very little (if any) difference.
In these cases, I try to go directly to the Lake Country Gold Jewelling CCS 5.5" Smart Pads™ or Red Finishing HD Orbital Foam Pad and Carpro Reflect to correct any minimal remaining micro marring or hazing.

"If I could have only two polishes they would be Meguiars M101 and Carpro Reflect."

Was this Jet Black?

No, it was metallic.

Looks great. Nice job. Would never have guessed that 101 would finish down so beautifully that react would be the 2 be and last step
