Re: M105 vs M85 vs M95 vs UC

I applied UC by foam pad usually, and the swirls would still be present after five minutes of rubbing it in and drawing circles on the paint. So I should try UC with DA first before I buy M105 or 205?

Give Ultimate Compound a try before buying M105. You could still use M205 afterwards in case Ultimate Compound does not finish out LSP ready.

Absolutely. Staying with the same liquid, in this case Ultimate Compound, but changing to not only a D/A for application, but the yellow polishing pad as well, will give you a big jump up in total cut. Read through this article and you'll see what we mean.

Similar question, is there a more affordable replacement for M205 that can be used after UC or M105?

You could try SwirlX or M80 Speed Glaze as a follow up. But I prefer M205 as a follow up.

It all depends on your car, there is not going to be one certain liquid that is guranteed to work. You have to do some test spots to dial in a sucessfull process.

Took the words right out of our mouths!! Perfect, and spot on.

Is there any Professional Products that has the same cutting ability like #105 but quite safe to use (can be use both for single step paint and non-single step paint)?

Not sure what you mean by safer? #105 is fine for SS and Clear Coat paint.

Like Mat says, M105 is safe on both paint types. But..... if you've got badly dried out paint it may not play well with it, no matter if it's single stage or base/clear. Have you had an issue in the past, or currently, that we might be able to help with?
