help with polish choice?

[illuminati]

Thanks for the tips Troy. I have a few other questions.

1. What is a good rule of thumb for using M105?
2. Can I reduce the cutting power of M105 with a non-cutting foam pad? Like a L.C. gray finishing pad.
3. What polishes do you prefer to use?

That last 2 questions I ask is because I really want to keep the types of polishes I'll be using to a minimum. I'd like to have my, "bread and butter" polishes so to speak.

Thanks.

Welcome to DC.

A lot of dusting? If so you might be using too much or trying to do too big of an area.

You buff 105 and 205 pretty much the same as you do any other polish. What's so nice about them though is they cut the same throughout the step. Most polishes do their cutting in the first couple of passes the rest of the step is spent breaking down the polish.

This makes these polishes not only extremely effective but also very user friendly.

1. What is a good rule of thumb for using M105?

You follow the same rules as any other polish however you're not having to break down the polish so your buffing time will be less in most cases.

2. Can I reduce the cutting power of M105 with a non-cutting foam pad? Like a L.C. gray finishing pad.

Yes. Pad selection plays a definite part in how much cutting power a product has along with speed and pressure.

3. What polishes do you prefer to use?

I'll assume you are talking about finishing polishes. I have not tried a whole lot of different polishes. Having said that I am very happy with Four Star Ultimate Final Polish Spray and also Poorboy's Polish. If I weren't I'm sure I could find many other good choices. Meguiar's Speed Glaze (#80) is another good one I have tried.
