M105, followed by ...?

[rvx290]

I am going to order some of the new magical M105, but I have been doing some reading on here and noticed some guys follow up with different polishes to finish up flawlessly, for example, some recommend #80 and some #2, I am wondering which is the best one to go with on average, I realise it might depend on the paint finish quality etc, but I am just wondering which is my best bet to follow M105 with? (My gut tells me 80 would be the better finishing choice)

Which finishing polish you already have?

I am new to the business, and an old bodyshop friend of mine gave me a box of half bottles etc, and I have a few different finishing polishes, #80, #2 and #9

Morning,

After using M105, I tend to follow with either M80 with the DA or M82 and the rotary as it depends on the paint and how it is responding. Another option is to use the new DA approved version of M02 which I have had awesome results from!

Just to double check, you are applying the M105 with a Rotary Buffer and your questions is about what to use to follow up the rotary application of the M105 with DA Polisher applied cleaner/polish?

Correct?

Shake those bottles of #80, #2 and #9 up very well before using and in order of aggressiveness from least aggressive to most aggressive,

M09 Swirl Remover
M80 Speed Glaze
M02 Fine Cut Cleaner


If you're applying the #2 using a DA Polisher, first read the back label after the words Application Method and check to see if it is in fact the newer formula that can be applied using a DA Polisher. The earlier versions of #2 are for Rotary Buffer Application ONLY and if you try to apply the older version of #2 with a DA Polisher it will likely tend to haze the paint.

Alwasy.... do a "Test Spot" to one small area with the product and pad combination you decide on and make sure your choice of pad and product will make one small area look good before going over the entire car.

Keep us updated...

Thanks,

Thanks,

Actually I intended on using a rotary for both... never considered otherwise, all I own right now is a rotary and a Random Orbit polisher, would #80 or #2 even work with a RO? Maybe before I get in too deep I should look into getting a DA

(& I acknowledged what your saying to check on the label as well, thanks for the info)

Thanks for the help.
