M105 with a finishing pad..

We don't all inspect with a 3M Sun Gun, so if you're like me and it looks fine under natural sun light and those lights at the gas station at night, then I think either M105 or my favorite - Uno v3 will work extremely well for you.

thanks accumlator.. i guess it's all about the clear.



I deal with aftermarket body shop clear.. so we'll see. will be placing my order on AG now..
 
I personally wouldn't want to use the M105 finishing process in a body shop setting. I'd go with a dedicated finishing product personally. Alot less headaches.

Heh heh, that reminds me of when Mike Phillips teased me that "nobody's following you around inspecting your car with a SunGun" :chuckle:



But FWIW, sometimes I do see the same stuff IRL that I usually only see under the SunGun. NO, not all that often, but it happens, usually like some "hey, did I just notice something...or not...or...or.." kind of situation. Simply drove me nuts on the Yukon's Carbon Metallic.
 
You remind me of my Dad in a way, he worried too much about the little things. I started doing that too, I would work my butt off doing daily drivers trying to turn them into Peeble Beach Classics. Problem was, my customers didn't care that the fender wells were cleaned and dressed, and they damn sure didn't want to pay for that level. I learned to chill and give a little more than they expect, they're happy and my back isn't in nuclear meltdown.



Now I know, you're doing you own fleet of cars, and you are a perfection nut, but, don't drive yourself batty in the process!



Hang loose bro

david how come you wouldn't want to finish down with the m105 in a body shop setting though?



(Just curious)

On light colored paint you'd probably be able to get away doing it pretty well. But on darker ones, especially being fresh/soft, it may pose more of a headache than it's worth to finish out. With Menzerna finishing polishes being so user friendly, I wouldn't want to reach for anything else in your setting.



What are you using currently to cut & buff?

Ya know, it's kinda funny how some stuff drives me nuts while other stuff doesn't.



But yeah, I drove myself nuts keeping the MPV (let alone that Carbon Metallic Yukon XLD!) concours-perfect and it wasn't much fun. Currently I'm only nutty about some of the vehicles and for various reasons I'm OK having the beaters far from Autopian (not that they aren't still "best in the parking lot"-nice ;) ).



I agree 100%, the cosmetics of one's vehicles shouldn't be among life's top priorities by a long shot :grinno:



OK, OK, sorry, back to on-topic discussion....
 
I have used 105 on a finishing pad and it worked well but I never used it the way Todd did in the write up. Ill have to give it a shot.
 
If I wanted to stir the pot, I might say that most anything you can see under a SunGun can also be seen under other, less artificial conditions too. But I guess I won't say that as I'm not trying to get people to go looking for problems they don't know they have ;)
