How much M205 do I use for 2x2

[bored7one4]

About to use M205 for the first time with Meg polishing pad. Just wondering how much to use. Do you use it like M105 with 4 pea sizes on the pad?

Give or take. Try it out, as it is not an exact science.

Make sure you have a good residue covering the area you are working, and do not dry buff the product (ie do not buff when the paint is totally clear and lacking product).

I use a little bit more than that
About a Quarter or Half Dollar Size Circle.

2 X 2 A Quarter sized plop should be plenty.

I like to use four pea sized dots. It seems that the polish spreads more evenly that way. But, the standard circle on the pad will also work.

How to apply product to the face of your foam buffing pads

Below is how to apply fresh product to the face of you foam buffing pad when first starting out and your pads are dry. After you break you buffing pad in by working this initial amount of product over a section of paint, you can cut down on the amount of product you're using as the pad will be less likely to absorb as much product as it will become damp with product.





Remember don't turn the polisher on until the face of the foam pad is in contact with surface of your car's paint.

Quickly spread the product out of the surface you're going to work then slow your arm speed down and begin to use overlapping motions to work the product.

After working an application of product, wipe the leftover residue from the worked area and inspect, if the results look good move onto a new section overlapping a little into the previous section. Continue this procedure until you have finished a panel or the entire vehicle.

Remember to clean you pad on the fly and and to do this often. This insures the best experience while machine cleaning and polishing as excess product build-up on a foam buffing pad can cause gumming up.
