M80 to follow M105

[KaztheMinotaur]

Would the M80 Speed Glaze be OK to sue following the M105 compound? I beleive the M80 has the same abrasive level as the M205?

If needed, certainly could be used.

Re: M80 to follow M105

It could definitely be used.

I already have a 32 ounce bottle of M80 so I'd rather use that instead of buying M205...as long as it will privide the same results.

Do a test spot and see if it comes out nicely. If it does, then you are good to go. Sometimes M105 won't even need to be followed up by another product, and there are even times when M80 or M205 need to be followed up (such as really soft newer honda paints)

Re: M80 to follow M105

I personally do not see why not. But as always, follow Andrew's advice. Do a test spot first. See if you are happy with the results.

I have, worked great on one car (Porsche Boxster) and not so well on the next car (Jaguar XK8).
Actually, M105 and the Jaguar didn't get along very well at all.

Like others have said, start with a test spot.

Thanks.
What would follow M80 or M205?

Re: M80 to follow M105

A pure polish and wax, or just wax.

Usually your choice of wax or sealant.

As Andrew pointed out, on really soft paint you might need to follow up with an even lighter cleaner/polish such as M82 or M09, or even a cleaner/wax such as ColorX or M66.

You should be okay after the M205 or M80 step though. Just look over the car in direct sunlight or in really good lighting and see how it looks.

Thanks.
Now I just have to wait until I have enough time off to do this with out being rushed.

Re: M80 to follow M105

Not a bad idea, especially if these are the two products you already "own."

I just think working M80 is always going to be a bit more work than M205.

Re: M80 to follow M105

How so?

What Nick Said! Remember though, it is very rare that you are going to need to ever follow up M80 or M205.

M205 doesn't necessarily need to be worked as long as M80, because in M80, you need to break down the diminishing abrasives in the product, where in M205 they don't need to be broken down. You can do 1 pass of M205 and if it works, then you are good to go.

You mean 1 section pass?
