More working time with M105

[BillE]

Ultimate Compound = M-105

Ultimate Polish = M-205

There are NOT exact one for one replacements...but pretty darn close.

What is the UC comparable to in the Pro line?

I'm in the process of doing some work on an black 08' Toyota Sequoia. (Lots of swirls and scratches from car washes =D)

I will order the G110v2 soon with C2100/#105/#205/#7 then #26. These are my planned steps.

Do you have a less aggressive clay already? Do you know ahead of time that this vehicle needs such an aggressive clay? And do you know for sure that you need M105 to correct the paint, or that M105 is even the best product choice for this paint? We've seen some Toyotas of all sorts with fairly delicate paint that actually responded much better to Ultimate Compound.

The point we're trying to make here is that you can't preconceive a plan of attack on a first time vehicle because you don't know how that vehicle will respond to that input. If you plan for something and don't have anything to fall back on, you're potentially setting yourself up for failure. A general idea is great, but don't even lock yourself into something beforehand - there are just too many variables at play here.

Thank you. I went to Pep Boys and got myself the meguiar's clay kit (the white one), UC like u recommended, UP and #26.
Did a test spot by hand. Cleaned it/clayed it.
The UC took out most of the swirls but not scratches. I then did it again but it didnt work. I used moderate pressure and w/ 50% overlap. Did this twice and nada. Should
I keep on doing it? Or use something else?

When working by hand, technique is critical to maximize results. You need to work in small areas, no more than about 1' x 1', and you may need to work that area two or three times with some fairly heavy pressure to remove all defects. A lot of the defect removal ability is going to depend on how severe the defects are and how hard the paint is. The harder the paint and the worse the defect, the harder it is to remove. Now, when we say "fairly heavy pressure" we don't mean that you should scrub the paint. Keep the circular motion and the overlap, just don't be afraid to put some muscle into it.

[Yosheego]

okay, imma try it again and let you guys know the results.

try three passes then a spray of water then 3 more passes should work.
