When I first heard the positive feedback on M105 I placed my order for some. Now I found out after I ordered it that it should really be used with a rotary but it was too late and I figured I would give it a try with my flex anyway. I was VERY skeptical about using this product beacuse it is very aggressive and I wasnt using a rotary. Luckily I have a firend with a green Jetta that is trashed inside and out so I asked if I could give it a go on his car and he was fine with it. I checked the hood with the brinkmann and it was pretty badly swirled with a few surface scratches so I gave it a quick wash and clay and then got to work. I laid the polish in straight lines on the hood and spread it on speed 1 then quickly went to speed 6 on the Flex using a flat 5.5inch LC orange pad. The polish works very nicely and breaks down super fast. 1/2 the hood took me around 2-3 mins. I saw it was broken down and then buffed off and I was very impressed with the initial result. The swirls were totally gone and just a few light scratches remained. The finish was very smooth and I was a bit taken back by how well it finished down. I only had about 20mins to work so I didnt get to finish it further with 106ff but I would have liked to see the final outcome. This was a quicky job just to test out M105 w/ the flex and I have to say I am really happy with it. I would still like to test it more with the Flex to make sure its a suitable machine to use but so far I think its fine. No pics for this Jetta but a black BMW will soon get the M105 treatment and pics will follow.

Thanks DSMS, as if M105 is shown to work with the flex it, it would really improve the vesitility of the machine. Looking forward to hearing your results on the bimmer.

It could be a great combo, Flex + 105, thanks for sharing.

I love the flex and so far it has done a great job on all the light to moderate correction work using SIP but I felt I would eventually need something "more" so I went with M105 on your reccomendation and I am really pleased. I kept thinking that I would need to step up to a rotary for heavier correction jobs if not for the extra power just to save time at least. Now I think M105 has bridged the gap a bit between more moderate and faster correction without the use of a rotary. I think the flex is a good test bed because its not quite a roatary but certainly a step up from a PC but since I have no expierence with the PC I couldnt say how M105 would work with it. I really would like to see just how versatile this product is though.
if you want to see how M105 works on the G220 DA (UK version of the G110) then check out this thread. There are also some links to videos showing its use by rotary, DA and on 4" pads by DA....
When used on single stage red paint it left marring that was easily removed with PO85rd. Check it out for the full info....

Is it true that M105 is not a diminishing abraisive product?

From what I understand, that's correct. It supossedly uses some different type of abbrasive...something completely new, which is why it works so fast. It's been said before somewhere, but it would be nice if Megs would use this technology to make a V2.0 of 83 and 80.
Edit: It uses "Super-micro abrasives" as stated by Megs.
