megs has reformulated (*edit below*) it to be used with the D/A as well. with the old version, they weren't happy with the way it performed with the D/A, thus not recommending it (intially was supposed to be used by hand or rotary) but alot of people used it with the D/A with good results anyway. it just wasn't recommended by them...

Is there a way to distinguish the new version from the old when looking at the bottle? Are they calling it 2.0 or anything obvious like that?

actually, the new 105 is not reformulated and is the same formula (according to CS) and they just did more intensive testing (which they didn't have much time to do before) on it to where it is now recommended and approved by them with use of the D/A...

I figured they would have done this...it would have been a bad move on their part IMO because of 105's reputation as a miracle product, lots of people like it. I think if a reformulation was to occur, they should bring it out as a different product...glad to hear it is the same product
 
Actually Holden, I posted at about the same time on both forums, to get a quicker answer as I was going to place an order from Eshine, who has it on special, then I noticed that it said on Meguiars site that it was not PC compatable.. I didn't even see an answer on MOL.

This is inaccurate information.



It is absolutely a modified formula.

I know for a fact, as I blind tested these formulas.



I'm sorry... I don't know who CS is?

Thanks for clearing that up........:bigups
 
Not sure which version of M105 I have (got it fairly recently from AutoGeek) but mine works fine by Flex 3401 and PC/4".

The new stuff will have an icon on the back of the bottle showing that it's okay to use for DA application (such as this one on the back of the M205 bottle):

After some thought, I guessed that CS meant something like 'confidential source'..! :laugh:

errm... Customer Service...? :D



Umm, yeah. That makes a lot of sense now that I see it your way.



I thought CS was a person's initials or online ID, then I thought maybe it meant confidential informant...:idea



Oh boy.
 
Oh, man, I hope they didn't screw this stuff up on the reformulation. Ever since it was released, I've had my fingers crossed hoping they'd leave well enough alone, all the while thinking that all the complaining about how it worked/didn't work/wasn't approved for PC would end up making them change the stuff. Looks like that fear was realized.



For those guys that have used the new stuff, how is it different?



Off topic, but along the same line... I've been hoping 3M doesn't screw around with UF, too. Seems like 3M can't help but change stuff even when it doesn't need to be.
